Couldn't resist; song meme remix

This one isn't random: it's a loosely themed playlist, drawn from tracks I have available on this machine. Speculation as to the theme is welcome; it was hard to come up with many really good exemplars ( Read more... )

music, meme

i told you some of them were really famous ;)

Hey, I heard #2 on the radio just yesterday. '1985' by Bowling for Fish.

#3 is from the "I get knocked down" album, but not from that song. Um, hmm. Can't remember the title, though I can sing bits of it. Aha, I now remember the band: Chumbawumba. 'Good Ship Lifestyle'? That's the chorus, at any rate.

Well done! #3 is one that I was expecting might well go unguessed. I don't often run into people who know non-hit singles from the Tubthumping album. Or from anything else by Chumbawamba, for that matter.

("1985"is by Bowling for Soup,but i'm giving it to you anyway, cos soup is like that.)
