Jukebox meme
OK, so I gave in to this oh-so-fun meme. This is something I can do without turning my head [see blog post on neck pain]. Here are the first lines of 30 songs from iTunes on random, for you to guess titles and artists. A few notes first:
A. The random didn't seem to be that random. Songs often came in oddly matched pairs.
B. A surprising number of them include the title in the first line.
C. The performer is almost never going to be the person you expect it to be.
D. At least one of the performers gets the words wrong, marked [sic.] in my list. This is what comes of the English trying to sing German. Hinted!
1. These lush moments, how I adore
2. I must say these tropical days have been quite restful
3. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
4. Ave spes nostra
5. I love the time and in between the calm inside me and the space where I can breathe
6. When the sun sinks in the west
7. The elephant trunk and Democrat donkey will be down the drain and sunk
8. Paree, he’s like a lover
9. What if I came down now?
10. Smile, smile, smile, that’s all you do
11. Something bad is happening
12. Some people got it, and make it pay
13. Pobedichom, pobedichom, posramichom
14. Nanina…[unintelligible mess of Georgian]
15. You must treat your lover girl right
16. If I tell truths to you, my love, my own
17. Ah, you’re wonderful, you’re all that I’ve yearned for
18. Pistol shots, gun shots
19. Says Red Molly to James, that’s a fine motorbike
20. Oh, tinozza ambulante!
21. O ihr Herren, o ihr werten
22. Schön lie [sic.] Engel voll Walhallas Wonne
23. Sicut erat in principio
24. Sani e salve agli amplessi amorosi
25. Sold a hammer to the Pentagon (Guessed by Ginger at the blag)
26. Victoria dines alone, she skips the potatoes (Guessed by Ginger at the blag)
27. Guido, I was lazing around my bedroom
28. Amor volat undique
29. Coulda been a writer, shoulda been a novelist
30. And I followed her to the station
