Thingy! COME ON EVERYONE!
1) On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first fifteen to twenty songs on the list. (I just picked a bunch of songs I like)
2) Write down a line from the song.
3) Have your friends comment and see if they know the songs. (No Googling!)
4) When someone guesses correctly, strike out the line and list the correct name of the song next to it.
5) Each band only listed once.
---------------------------------------------------------
1. Teeth are extruded and bones are ground then baked into cakes which are passed around. Squirrel Nut Zippers - Hell, guessed first by gevauden.
2. I don't believe in the existance of angels, but looking at you I wonder if that's true Nick Cave - Into My Arms, guessed first by gevauden.
3. Amphetamines for boys, crucifixes for ladiesMarilyn Manson - Rock is Dead, guessed by graceless_me
4. The emperor really has no clothes on, and his skin is peeling off Radiohead - Pop is Dead, guessed by outloudthinker, very well done!
5. It almost seems like your avoiding me, I'm okay alone but you got something I need Brand New Key - Rasputina (actually it's Melanie, but everyone gets them mixed up so I'll let it slip. Man I love Melanie!) Guessed by glasstiming, and I'm so happy somebody actually got it. This is my favourite accapella song piece at the moment. I perform it as often as I can, I just love it so much!
6. I'd be fired if that were my job, after killing Jason off and countless screaming
Argonauts They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse in your Soul, guessed by glassandahalf.
7. His disciples lead him in and he just does the rest, he's got crazy flipper fingers, never seen him fall It's technically The Who - Pinball Wizard, guessed by composer!? by rorture.
8. No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue, I could not foresee this thing happening to youRolling Stones - Paint It Black, guessed by coldcaress. I can't believe you all didn't get this, tut tut. For jeebus sake, what do you think of when you think of me? I need a bad goth theme song, right?
9. Walk right in, it's around the back, just a half a mile from the railroad track Arlo Guthrie - Alices Restaraunt, guessed first by gevauden.
10. And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare David Bowie - Space Oddity, once again pounced on by gevauden.
11. It's hard to marf blargle zous with all these marbles in my mouth Weird Al Yankovic - Smells Like Niravana, guessed by glassandahalf.
12. The brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone, he is gone.
13. Pink ribbon scars that never forget, I tried so hard to cleanse these regrets.Smashing Pumpkins - Today, guessed by simplefi.
14. Don't cry or feel too down, not all martyrs see divinity but at least you tried.Tool - Eulogy, guessed by glassandahalf.
15. I think more than I want to think, do things I never should do (bonus points for naming the original artist) Jeff Buckley (or Nina Simone, Elkie Brooks or James Shelton) - Lilac Wine, and outloudthinker wins a hundred points for that.
16. When I'm drunk I make no sense but I crack more jokes and that's my self defense The Whitlams! - Pigeons in the Attic Room, guessed by blind_dragonfly o'course.
17. I took you for granted, I thought that you needed me more The Cure - Boys Don't Cry, guessed first by gevauden. Wow.
18. They stack the odds till we take to the streets, for we kill with the skill to survive Survivor - Eye of then Tiger, attempted by gevauden, corrected by outloudthinker.
19. I know you want to try to get away, but it's the hardest thing you'll ever know Supergrass - Richard 111, guessed by glassandahalf. I didn't think this song was that unheard of, I'm glad somebody else knows it!
20. Dreams are made winding through her hair (easy!) System of a Down - Spiders, guessed by grimreaperess! Finally got one in, what a tremendous effort!
[Edit] Okay, less than 24 hours into it and there's 2 remaining. Turns out my brain must have snapped when I said there were two of the same band on there, but they are very similar in a lot of ways so I'll forgive myself... this time. I know my brother would get at least one of these immediately. The other, well, I'm ashamed of all of you if you've never heard this song. Pure classic elegance. Ciao!
