Music Guessing Game

  • May. 3rd, 2004 at 1:33 PM
Disneyland
The "set your playlist to random and choose your favorite line from each of the first twenty songs that come up and then make all your friends guess what the songs are" game has come to JuliaWorld.

1. Take me away to nowhere plains "Here Comes Your Man" by The Pixies. Gotten by Annelet.
2. Will you stop pretending I've never been born now I look a little more like that guy from Korn? "Red Dragon Tattoo" by Fountains of Wayne. Annelet.
3. Son of a shining path, the clouded mind "Son of Sam" by Elliott Smith. Annelet again.
4. Lover did you bring me gold, or have you brought any fee for to save my body from the cold clay ground and my neck from the gallows tree? "The Prickly Bush</s> Steeley Span. Gotten by Mossosaur.
5. I watched it for a little while. I like to watch things on TV. "Satellite of Love" by Lou Reed. Gotten by Moira.
6. And if you think you see with just your eyes, you're mad. Lisa learned a lot from putting on a blindfold. "The Model" by Belle and Sebastian. The Moivelous Moira with a steady background of help from Annelet (she's Annetastic!).
7. And so it goes and so it seems that God lives only in our dreams "There is Town" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Gotten by Aarika.
8. Clang clang clang clang whoops too late! "Become a Robot" by They Might Be Giants. Annelet, who has AWESOME POWA.
9. I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones. Gotten by James.
10. Her palm is split with a flower with a flame "Solitude Standing" by Suzanne Vega. Moira, Goddess of Fanfic!
11. A living, breathing, talking love is not the same as one who screams when people die "Banshee" by the Flash Girls (Lyrics by Neil Gaiman. Gotten by Brand, Lord of the Rock.
12. I heard of a man who says words so beautifully, that if he only speaks their name, women give themselves to him / I got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it's enough to get us there? "Silent All These Years" and a poem, which may or may not have a title of its own, by Leonard Cohen and Tori Amos. Gotten by Moss with help from Annelet.
13. Call careers information. Have you got yourself an occupation? "Oliver's Army" by Elvis Costello. Gotten by Brand, now in newly engaged form!
14. Red flowers bursting down below us. Those people didn't even know us. "I Bombed Korea" by Cake. Moss, teh b0mbz0r.
15. You are my big buddy, you are a low down rotten man, you are crazy like a row (roll?) lizard "Arnold Schwarzenegger" by Wesley Willis. Moss, who said it in the comments, "You are my fucking governor."
16. I asked them to check the medicine cabinet 'cause for some reason I leave it there sometimes "Detachable Penis" by King Missile. Annelet, not just for walruses anymore!
17. And I got more rhymes than Phillis Diller "Time to Get Ill" by the Beastie Boys. Annelet, who has cute glasses.
18. Little old lady got mutilated late last night "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon. Moira, whose hair is perfect.
19. I was just thinking it would be really cool if I got hit upside the head with a manly tool "God's Gift to Women" by Jewel. Gotten by Brand, who has REAL ULTIMATE POWER!
20. I got this girl I wanna * "Gimme the Car" by the Violnent Femmes. Annelet (she ain't no runt...)

Wow, that was rather difficult to do, actually, as most of the songs in the itunes library are really Moss's. I had to skip a great many songs that I don't really know. This is a very funny mix of things I do know, though. This game is wicked difficult for me, though. I think I would probably get... roughly half of these if I saw them listed elsewhere. Only half. Damn.

ETA: When guessing, please gues the title and artist, not just one.

Nine is, of course, Sympathy for the Devil. I would know.

I know nineteen too (naturally) but I'll wait to see if anyone else grabs it. ;)

Yeah, you and Moss both know 19, but Moss is not allowed to guess for a good while, since it really wouldn't be fair. Also, you should give me the title and artist of the song. BUt since I know you know who the artist of nine is, we'll let it slide. This time.

For songs that have multiple covers, that's not really fair - but you're right, I would have said Stones if pressed.

Let me know when you want me to bail everyone out by announcing 19. ;)

You and Moss were defeated by Brand, I am afraid.

Defeated?

If by "were defeated," you mean "stood aside and let someone else take the credit," then I agree with you. I think Moss has my back on this one, right? ;)

Yeah, yeah, whatever. I mean you weren't the only ones who knew it, and also, Brand got the Flash girls, so his obscure song knowledge goes up by like fifty points.

Do I get points for pointing out that there are too many clangs in Become a Robot? Or am I just annoying?

no, I know it's technically two clangs, but while listening, they actually clang four times, all overtop of each other like.

Damn, Annelet, you so awesome at this game. You got 1, 2, 3, 8, 16 (I LOVE YOU FOR KNOWING THIS, ANNE DEGER!), 17, and 20.

6 you are close on, 9 James beat you to, and 12 you are partly right on, but it isn't just that.

go go gadget command-of-useless-trivia!

hmmm. oh wait, six is that other b&s song about lisa not being able to see... whassit called... it's on fold your hands child... bother. must... not... look at CD and cheat...

twelve was just a meandering guess. i know it sounds familiar, and i'm almost sure it's tori amos, but i got rid of all my tori after An Unfortunate Love Affair, and now i do not remember most of it.

DETACHABLE PENIS IS THE BESTEST SONG EVAR. last year Febbie Steve kept trying to convince me that he knew this guy who knew this guy who knew king missile, and that he could get them to play reality. but then he ran off to europe or something and it never panned out, alas.

Bitches, that would have been awesome!.

And you are right on the Tori Amos song title, but it's not just Tori Amos.... I um... don't really know what else to say.

Yes, you seem to be getting close on the Belle and Sebastian one, too. You fell right into my trap on that one the first time. Mwa ha ha!

You are right on all three! I would love to guess yours, but I suck way hard at this game and when I first looked I couldn't get any of 'em. I'll look again just in case.

Yeah, this is a lot harder than I thought it would be....I keep missing songs I know, which makes me feel old, or unobservant, or both.

4: Steeleye Span, "The Prickly Bush"
6: Dammit. If I look through the titles of the songs on this album, I'll know which one it is.
12: The first part is from a Leonard Cohen poem. Is it just called "I heard of a man"?
14. Cake, "I Bombed Korea"
15. Wesley Willis, "Arnold Schwarzenegger". You are my fucking governor.
19. I also know this one, but I also want to see who else does.

You rock hardcore. You got 4, 12, 14 and 15. 6 is going to have to go to Annelet if no one else comes up with the actual title. I know she knows it, and she did guess the albuumand artist. 19, well, as I said, I know you and James know it. I wonder if anyone else does.

Watch Those Neurons Fire
Ah aH AH AHAHAHAHA that B&S song is "The Model"! HAHAHAHAHAHAH! ((shrieks))

I wouldn't've gotten it without the second line, tho (finally I remembered "It was the best sex she'd ever had" &c.).

Yes! Yes! Actually, it was remembering the next two lines (after the 2 she quoted) that made me able to remember the song. Weird.

Oh, I thought of another -- I think that 19 is "God's Gift to Women" which (I think) is by Jewel.

Brand, congratulations for stepping up and naming the terrifying Jewel song that Moss and James were sure no one else knew! Yay!

Number seven is "There is a Town" by Nick Cave. I'm not sure if he's with his Bad Seeds in that or not. Let's say yes.

P.S. People love it when your LJ is a game show, dahling. They go crazy! You have such good friends.

Chuhrindaaaahling, you are so right about it being Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. You rock. And Although I have scads of comments on this entry, they're mostly from the same few people. But anyway, games are fun!
