Name That Tune! →[More:]

the din of their Rice Krispies
I could die and I wouldn't mind
I realized I was falling off the face of your world
I'm the lyrical Jesse James
I know to trip is just to fall
I go to court when I have to
Now I wind up staring at an empty glass
Stop! Hold on... stay. in. control.
the lives we make never seem to get us anywhere but dead
my Dixie dear

Oh you're so persnickety, eide. "Head On" is Jesus & Mary Chain, from their third album, Automatic, also (very well-)covered by the Pixies on Trompe Le Monde.

4. Led Zeppelin - The Rover
5. Megadeath - Peace Sells
8. Soundgarden - The Day I Tried to Live

Huh. I had no idea that was a cover. Just looked up the original on YouTube. Thanks, Hugh. (I still like the Pixies version better but damn, it's a great song regardless).

Bravo!

#2 was on one of those soundtracks that's arguably better known than its film.

#7? ...silly boy.

posted by Eideteker 10 October | 21:54

#7 - I think it's the Kinks. Paranoia?

posted by Miko 10 October | 22:29

Close.
