Once More Into the Lyrical Breach
Tonight is meme time. This is an old but fun one, which I was reminded of because shinshan just did it yesterday.
- Set your whole music library on shuffle
- Post the first lines of songs as they come up. Unless the first line contains the title, then try the second, or just bleep it out or something. Instrumentals are obviously getting skipped. Foreign languages I guess I'll keep so long as I can google the spelling...
- Everyone try to guess the songs! No using the Google win-button.
- I'm supposed to cross stuff off as its guessed,
1. Put on your red shoes and dance the blues (madmanatw & anacoluthon)
2. Picture yourself in a boat on a river, with tangerine trees and marmalade skies (shinshan)
3. Washington came first, and he was perfect (madmanatw)
4. It's knocking off my diamond wig, knocking me down onto the platinum ground (anacoluthon)
5. In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came (chalgaryn)
6. This appeared as a moral dilemma 'cause at first it was weird how I swore to eliminate the worst(leora & roamin_umpire)
7. There has been a spacecraft sighted, flying high above the sky (madmanatw & anacoluthon & pmb)
8. Twenty-five floors up, twenty-five floors down, Until we hit the ground
9. If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the Universe (pmb, more or less)
10. Baby, baby, let's get together, honey, honey, me and you (tiercel)
11. Te o nobashi, afureru sora no aosa ni, Tokete ku, hadashi no kodomo-tachi
12. Screw kid, I got nothin to say, quit buggin me, go away
13. Remember how it used to be, when the sun would fill up the sky (akiko)
14. (redacted) were you brought by the stork? Or were you created from butter and cork? (madmanatw & anacoluthon)
15. yasashii sono yubi ga owari ni fureru toki, ima dake kimi dake shinjite mo iin darou?
16. Can it be that we were mistaken, could it be that I was wrong
17. Sukoshi miageta sora dekisugita nichijou, se wo mukeru tabi ni tsubuyaku dake
18. Here you are, daylight star, made out of miracles
19. Your ass is grass, and I'm a lawnmower, you dandelion, I am a sunflower
20. (redacted) sakana no ko, aoi umi kara yatte kita
21. Check it up, I funk it up, Minna damatte, ore ni, tsuite koi, yeah (warpig1979)
22. In May of 1941 the war had just begun, The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns
23. Now the freaky man on the freaky star, do the freaky dance like a freaky giraffe
24. I know... you're going to deeg thees (anacoluthon)
25. You know my daddy dug gates for his whole life, and never knew nothin more (DFS)
Hmmm.. started up with a couple softballs, then after that... good luck.
Also, I went through almost 60 instrumentals while putting this together. About 45 of which were video game related...
I think if I were to play my own game (and hadn't just now heard them all), I'd get maybe 16 of these if I was lucky.
