Lyrics meme
This "guess the song from the lyrics" meme that's been going around looked pretty fun, so here's my version of it. Ganked from everyone, but [info]syuria in particular. Incidentally, there's a ton of music on my PC that I've barely listened to if at all, so I had to fudge it a bit and skip over things I didn't know (and instrumentals of course). I promise I didn't skip anything for embarrassment reasons.

step 1: put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
step 2: post any damn line I like from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
(Note: I love how this has evolved from "post the first line" as it's continued up my friends page)
step 3: post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
step 4: strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
step 5: looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!


1) I've got a dying urge to feel the way you do / Too close for comfort, bed and breakfast in a spoon
2) Got a weird thing to show you so tell all the boys and girls
3) Vacation's where I wanna be / Party on the beach where the fun is free ([info]chibi_takato)
4) Don’t you know the cold and wind and rain don’t know / They only seem to come and go away
5) I went to a whore / He said my life’s a bore ([info]ishimarumakoto)
6) Some folk’ll never eat a skunk, but then again some folk’ll ([info]monoboo)
7) Yo te atrapo, tú me atrapas para siempre / Lo que quieras puedes pedirme ([info]artimecion)
8) Shizumu yuuhi ni sakebi tsuduketa hibi yo / Mienu ashita ni hikari wa... ([info]monoboo)
9) Don’t get me wrong, I love you / But does that mean I have to meet your father? ([info]monoboo)
10) I won’t be back / I still love you, but / I won’t be back anymore
11) Here we go for the hundredth time / Hand grenade pins in every line ([info]chibi_takato)
12) I cry watching the days / Can't you see I’m a fool in so many ways
13) Carve your name into my arm / Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed ([info]zalia)
14) Last chance to piss it all away / Nothing but hell to pay / When the lights are going down ([info]ishimarumakoto)
15) You’re not everything to me that matters / My whole world when you leave won’t shatter
16) Migi te ni shiroi kami / Riyuu naki boku no e wo egaita tochuu de nage dasu
17) I close my eyes / Oh God I think I’m falling ([info]syuria)
18) Hiru to yoru to ga gyakumawari / Toki no mekki no shitsurakuen ([info]syuria)
19) Here we go again to stage the greatest show on heaven and earth / Come on, get your money's worth
20) Playin' spin the bottle with my mom / I watch COPS with no pants on

#7 is ridiculous, yet there are a few people on my FL who might actually get it. Do me proud, LiveJournal.

I will add that there are a couple of songs on there I'm disappointed that you, of all people, didn't recognise :p *vague*

Yup, it is indeed! By 175R, for what it's worth (not like it matters).

I'm keeping quiet beyond that XP

I've been on such a Madonna kick recently >.> I'm fighting the urge to make an LJ post raving about her new album. Glad the laws of chance picked one of my favourite songs!

Every You, Every Me - Placebo

Yup!

My short and not very interesting story about Placebo: Me and some friends went to see CD:UK being filmed once, including Placebo miming their latest single (which I think was this one, but I might be wrong). The reason we were given for them not performing live is that the singer wanted to preserve his voice for another TV performance that evening. WTF? Surely he manages entire sets multiple days in a row while on tour? It left me baffled.

Actually, I'm pretty sure CDUK just don't let the artists perform live... as I remember maroon 5 complaining about it, haha. So two of them switched instruments because they weren't playing live :p

Really? I swear I saw someone sing live on CD:UK at least once... sometime... maybe...

I guess my memory's playing tricks on me :s

Björk's performance of "Alarm Call" on CD:UK is famously (well, famously among Björk obsessives) one of the few occasions when she's been forced to mime, and was apparently amusingly terrible at it. Though she does so well enough in promo videos and in the Olympics performance of "Oceania," which she was again forced to mime by policy… It could be that the distorted vocals in the single version of "Alarm Call" would make it very difficult to mime.

... If my stupidly large collection of songs in stepmania has served me well, I believe "Yo te atrapo, tú me atrapas para siempre / Lo que quieras puedes pedirme" Is a spanish (italian?) card captor song.. But I couldnt tell you its name or if its the opening or ending >_<

Close enough XD It's the first CCS opening theme (Catch You Catch Me) in Spanish. Though you weren't one of the people I was expecting to get it! There are some big CCS fans on my friends list.

Ones I would have got if they hadn't already been got are "Like a Prayer" (which isn't saying much; I suspect the only reason it didn't go straight away is that people with more obscure knowledge were kind enough to leave something for those without) and that song that played in the American dub of the first Pikachu the Movie, of which the title and artist name just so happen to be one of those things which I've glimpsed just one in my life but always clearly remembered, though I have no discernible reason for doing so. Until now.

It's just dawned to me that 19) seems an awful lot like "The Greatest Show on Earth" from the musical Lady in the Dark (music by Kurt Weill and lyrics by Ira Gershwin). It's the same words, but it doesn't seem in quite the right order…

I was beginning to think no one would get these. Shame on the multitudes of Brits on my LJ friends list for not recognising the Oasis song!
