21 January 2009

Song lyrics game Like the movie quotes game but for song lyrics.[More:]Back in my freshman year of college, my friend Dave and I shared a morning class and an evening class most days (Cell Biology and Statistics for Biologists IIRC). We used to swap lists of single song lyrics in the morning and see if we could get them all by the evening class. We were often quite mean with super-difficult lyrics, but I won't put in any from obscure New Zealand garage bands...Have at it!

1. I was underage in this funky bar and I stepped outside and smoked myself a J

2. I don't know why sometimes I get frightened

3. The castle started spinning, or maybe it was my brain

4. As the assassins all grouped in four lines dancing on the floor

5. Oh there ain't no love, no Montagues or Capulets

6. You can care all you want. Everybody does yeah, that's OK

7. Even on my usual table, he can beat my best

8. I feel it all fading and paling I'm begging to drag you down with me

9. Heavy decibels bells are playing on my guitar

10. You said your body was young but your mind was very old
1. Paul Simon, "Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard," I think?
2. Split Enz, "I Got You"


I recognize one more, but am blanking on the song itself.

2 - Yep!

Number 1 was called something like "Late in the Evening," maybe?

It was on the radio a lot when I was a teenager, so I can hear it in my head.

That's it! (my fave Paul Simon song)

#6 is on the tip of my tongue. Driving me mad!
posted by Lola_G 21 January | 10:12
Yes! (I'm surprised BP didn't get that one... or am I mis-remembering Prince fandom?)
posted by gaspode 21 January | 10:12
I gave up and googled the third one I knew... d'oh!! I totally should have gotten that one!
posted by BoringPostcards 21 January | 10:12
I'm humiliated to say #3 wasn't even the one I was close on.... double d'oh!
posted by BoringPostcards 21 January | 10:14
I keep singing #6 and drawing out okay-e-ay...but I can't get it. I haven't given in to google yet.

#9 is AC/DC (ho! an obscure Australian garage band).

10. Chemical Brothers - Setting Sun

THAT'S the one I knew that I knew, but could not bring to mind. Ugh.

1. Late in the Evening - Paul Simon

7. Pinball Wizard
posted by danf 21 January | 13:13
Numbers 4 and 8 are English bands...
posted by gaspode 21 January | 13:53
/fights the urge to use google

Hey, I'll just go ahead and guess that #8 is The Smiths? Or Joy Division? Someone cheerful anyway!
posted by richat 21 January | 14:03
Nope!
posted by gaspode 21 January | 14:03
Nuts. Well I've gone as far as I can without the aid of a search engine.
posted by richat 21 January | 17:31
OK then

4 = Joy Division - Shadowplay
8 = The Cure - Fascination Street (I thought that one would be one of the easier ones...)

#9 is AC/DC (ho! an obscure Australian garage band).

Yeah, so obscure we have ACDC Lane here in Melbourne! Heh.
posted by jonathanstrange 21 January | 17:52
Dammit, I guess Joy Division for the wrong one!
