ping piperki (and obscure music experts)
It's been, like, years, and I still haven't figured out the band and song names for some of the (mix CD) music you sent me. For some songs, even googling lyrics has been fruitless. Some of these might be by Jesus and Mary Chain, but I'm unfamiliar enough that I can't be sure.
Ferrinstance:
* There's one song where a guy sings about being "a clown" and how he "falls down" (and "is down") and wonders, "doesn't anybody wanna fall in love any more?"
* In another, a guy sings "...I left you behind/It's a sick, sick city but it's never gonna make me..." (insane?) and something about "facin' a dilemma 'bout the way that you feel..."
* One starts with a guy complaining that, "You like to act like you don't care what people think/But if you didn't then you wouldn't do the things you do/It's only in your head so just act how you want..." and something about never having any fun, and then the music goes all ska-esque.
* There's one that starts with a guy saying (I think) he's "taking on the world" and "I guess you have a new guy(?)" and I think the chorus starts with "wake uuu-up" but I can't be sure.
* There's one that sounds like video game music from the '80s and I swear that at some point the singer says, "I am the cheese." Um, maybe I didn't even get this song from you.
