day 08 - a song that you know all the words to

May 20, 2011 13:54

Does knowing all the words to a song mean that you can sing along with it when it's playing, or that you can sing it even without the music?

It took longer than you'd think to come up with one song for this! I know all the words to a LOT of songs, but really only when they're actually playing... I think. Most of the songs I know all the words to are from the 90s, with a good number of 80s New Wave and classic rock in there, too. Basically everything I listened to repeatedly on the radio (or MTV) between the ages of 8 and 17. But I'm not sure I can remember it on command.

Who remembers Possum Kingdom by The Toadies? I hadn't seen the actual music video until JUST NOW WHEN I LOOKED IT UP ON YOUTUBE. I've heard people say it's about a serial killer, but I'm totally sticking to my theory that it's about a vampire lover. (Reminder: Twilight didn't exist in 1994, okay?)

Favorite lines: i'm not gonna lie / i'll not be a gentleman / behind the boathouse / i'll show you my dark secret
(JFC, DO YOU KNOW HOW HOT THIS WAS TO MY 13-YEAR OLD SELF? What am I even saying? It's still fucking hot.)
