Spoken Lyrics Quiz II

Dec 14, 2007 22:05

To recap: In this post I enjoined you all to recognize spoken-word bits of songs instead of sung or even rhythmic lyrics. It looks like you all recognized five of the quotes so far, which is good because six more came in after I wrote the originals. So here's the whole list; italics are the ones that have been guessed, bold are new quotes from the same song. If you guessed previously, you get another (public) guess in this one!

  6. [woman's voice, broadcast-quality:] "It also left a man's decapitated body, lying on the floor next to his own severed head. A head which at this time has no name." [Man's ridiculously low voice, live-quality:] "I know his name."
  7. Nobody in Middle America anyway, that's for sure. [later in the song:] "Do we really need all these musicians?" "Yes we do!"*
  8. And they were all asking themselves the same question: ( recognized by nothings)
