song meme
I looked at ifmud's song memes, and could guess none of them because I haven't heard of most of the songs/artists. It then occurred to me to do my list off a CD-set that I used to have (that I lost) - and I know a vast majority of you *have* heard these songs at some point or the other. Shouldn't this be fairly easy for you?
I think tablesaw has an advantage, but lpsmith, limax and markm probably will recognize them. But I wouldn't put it past storme and kizlj, either.
If you figure out what the CD was, or the theme of the CD, it should get pretty easy. Maybe I should put the one-song-per-person-restriction on this...?
Edited: I italicized the ones people said they knew - but there seems to be a couple that no one recognized yet...
1. Make way! / Here he comes! / Ring bells! Bang the drums! / Are you gonna love this guy!
2. New and a bit alarming / Who'd have ever thought that this could be? / True that he's no Prince Charming
3. I have often dreamed / Of a far off place / Where a hero's welcome / Would be waiting for me
4. Yes, I know I'm just an outcast/ I shouldn't speak to you / Still I see Your face and wonder / Were You once an outcast too?
5. It seems like only yesterday / You were just a child at play / Now you’re all grown up inside of me
6. Side by side with your loved one / you will find the enchanment here / the night will be under its magic spell
7. I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing, / but a cat's the only cat / who knows how to swing.
8. I know that your powers of retention / Are as wet as a warthog's backside / But thick as you are, pay attention
9. I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty / I've got whozits and whatzits galore / You want thingamabobs?
10. I'm wishing (I'm wishing) / For the one I love / To find me (to find me) / Today (today)
11. I'll touch ev'ry star in the sky / So this is the miracle that I've been dreaming of
12. I know you / The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
13. Wherever I wander, wherever I roam / I couldn't be fonder of my big home
14. (Be a man) / We must be swift as / the coursing river
15. There are despots and dictators / Political manipulators / There are blue bloods with the intellects of fleas
16. Life's a happy game / You could clown around forever / Neither one of you sees, your natural boundaries
17. Think of the presents you've brought / Any merry little thought / Think of Christmas, think of snow
18. Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon / Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
19. Come stop your crying / It will be all right / Just take my hand /Hold it tight
20. There's danger if I dare to stop and here's a reason why: / I'm over-due, I'm in a rabbit stew.
21. I’ll paint a ray of hope around you, / circling in the air, / lighted by a prayer
22. The curl of her lips / The ice in her stare / All innocent children /Had better beware
23. When a star is born / They possess a gift or two
24. All those same people who scold you / What they'd give just for /The right to hold you
25. Hockety pockety wockety wack / abracabra dabra nack / Shrink in size very small / we've got to save enough room for all
