The Great Top 100 Lyrics Survery

[abitunlikely]

Spurred on by this travesty, and because I am a masochist, my trusted sidekick, the lovely and talented webmd, and I have decided to undertake the ambitious, well, undertaking, of compiling the top 100 lyrics, nominated and voted on by the people who actually know anything about anything - namely, you guys.

And the worst part is I haven't even thought of anything to nominate myself yet!

[abitunlikely]

I'm not even going to think about it till after the holiday. I have to leave at 3:30-ish and have to get work done! (Work? What's that?! lol)

Ooh ooh, I wanna nominate something!

Here's my 1st nom:

I want a boyfriend, I want a boyfriend. I want all the stupid old shit, like letters and sodas. Liz Phair, Exile In Guyville.

Do I get a cookie for being the first to make a nom?

Well, if you actually like Passover cookies, you can have one. :b

My mom bought some chocolate covered "leaf" cookies, they're not bad.

But my cookie gets taken away because in my haste and excitement to make a nom, I left out the name of the song. Which I just posted below.

Oh duh, it's from "Fuck & Run" from Exile in Guyville.

Ha, I was going to nominate that one! I needn't have worried, really - I should have known someone would have it covered. ;)

-you´ll never fumigate the demons, no matter how much you smoke (You´re My Waterloo to anywhere? - The Libertines)

There aren't words to express how much I love that line...

i´ll get back to you with more...

Good! Keep 'em coming! :D

Wow. That's a good idea.

One of my favourite ever from one of my favourite records ever:
'I turn myself to face me / but I've never caught a glimpse'
(David Bowie - Changes)
It's slightly out of context like this, but I love it.

And there's probably more coming :D.

[abitunlikely]

I like it! :D

And yes, please, it's hard to put together a list without entries. *wry*

[ontherunaround]

Mmm... I was thinking, wouldn't it be possible to expand it to music share comms, like musicfordummies? If people would also be asked to upload said songs so that they'd stick to their purpose (though I don't know about rules). Considering their traffic, you could possibly get more entries, with the songs to boot.

Just a thought, though you might not be up for it at this moment. ;)

That is evil...

You know how awfully reptitive my taste is *cries* :/ ;)
