a music-themed meme from the loverly schizospider
Because why the hell not?
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line (unless the first line reveals the song title) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game, post your own!
This actually ended up involving more skipping around than it should have since itunes decided to inundate me with audiobooks and stuff that hasn't exactly been released yet, and I was kind and took out most of the stupidly obscure stuff that I would really only expect Dei to have a chance in hell at getting. Also, posting more than strictly "the first line" for a lot of these, but whatever.
And because I am a kind and generous evil dictator LJer, it is possible that I'll even go so far as to offer prizes -- mix CDs for the two or three people who get the most right answers, maybe?
1- No one wants to hear about your ninety-seventh tear, so dry your eyes and let it go uncried my dear
2- He played himself, didn't need me to give him hell
3- Keep your chin up when you're feeling lonely, don't let 'em get you down
4- Have you been to the desert, have you walked with the dead?
5- There's nothing you can do that can't be done, nothing you can sing that can't be sung All You Need is Love, The Beatles (maxxtx)
6- Pistol shots ring out in a barroom night Hurricane, Bob Dyllan (goblinqueenie)
7- Cause my old man is bleeding, and my poor dog needs feeding, and this time I'm really broke
8- I am just a satellite, high above the atmosphere, bouncing everything you say to someone who was meant to hear
9- You're begging me to stay, but I'm laughing in your face I'm Cold, The Cure (baileyflower)
10- Baby, I'm angry, baby, I'm scared; we're living in a dark time, and nobody cares
11- Rain fell all night, kept me awake. Still falling by morning, it was hard to take.
12- Stranger, danger, danger, stranger, when you gonna follow through?
13- I've got this drive to be eaten alive, that's the only reason I can see
14- I fell in love again; all things go, all things go
15- I've got a new life, you would hardly recognize me, I'm so glad The Sign, Ace of Base (baileyflower)
16- I can't shake this feeling from my head, there's a devil sleeping in my bed Kinda I Want To, Nine Inch Nails (baileyflower)
17- I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping While My Guitar Gently Weeps, The Beatles (maxxtx)
18- I've been thinking it over and I know just what to do I Wanna Live, The Ramones (baileyflower)
19- My glance is always darting when I stroll the avenue, avoiding all the obstacles that terrorize my view
20- Gentle hum of the old machines, here we come, scrubbed and scoured, patches on our jeans
21- Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go I Wanna Be Sedated, The Ramones (maxxtx)
22- If I ask you difficult questions, if I make improper suggestions, would you find that a risk to your health?
23- Signal fading, listen to what I'm saying, testing, testing, this better be worth all of the breath I'm wasting
24- Empty spaces, what are we living for? Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
25- You can only talk so much about things that are never ever going to happen
26- Know that it would be untrue, know that I would be a liar, if I was to say to you I didn't set your house on fire If You Love Somebody Set Them On Fire, The Dead Milkmen (baileyflower)
27- In the midnight, moonlight hour, I'll be walking a long and lonely mile
28- Chimney falls and lovers blaze, thought that I was young; now I've freezing hands and bloodless veins, as numb as I've become
29- Who made up all the rules? We follow them like fools; believe them to be true, don't care to think them through
30- He thought he was the king of America, where they pour coca-cola just like vintage wine Brilliant Mistake, Elvis Costello (goblinqueenie)
And when all is said and done, that's probably too many songs to fit all of them on a CD, but that's a pretty kick-ass playlist. Yay for shuffling!
