http://mog.com/Hello_Mimi/blog/230581
Here are the instructions from Mimi's post:
Step 1: Put your music player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line (or so, some are hard) from the first 21 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone guess what SONG AND ARTIST the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly (No lyric hunting! That is cheating!).
Step 5: After doing the 1st 21, listen to one more random song and post it as your title.
Here are my 21 random song lyrics. Bet'cha can't guess 'em all!
- There she stands, this lovely creature. There she stands, there she stands. {Lovely Creature, Nick Cave. YES Anna!!}
- Seven execution style murders. I have no remorse cuz I'm the fuckin' murderer. {High Powered, Dr. Dre. Go Troy!}
- I was seventeen, In nineteen thirty-three. Splitting out of my seams, Can't you see what I've seen? {Faulty Times, Black Mountain. Nice, Lighter Dusk!}
- I gave it all to you with no questions asked. I wanted a future. Who cares about my past? That first argument you up and left. I've seen a change in you. {Never No More, by Aaliyah-RIP. Nice job, Rhymeschemer!}
- Anytime you're feelin' lonely anytime you're feelin' blue. {Anytime, Arlo Guthrie. Lakposhti yay!}
- It was all a dream. I used to read Word Up magazine. {Juicy, Biggie Smalls. Yay, Sam!}
- Love large enough to want to shrink and dumb enough to start to think {Yes, So On and On, by Thao. You did it, Yummygatalover! Knew ya could!}
- Lover face, I'll do you as the revolver introduced in my play, act one {Plastis Wafers, Of Montreal. cultconspiracy!}
- Mary, come out tonight. You could be my valentine. Mary, you're center stage. {hint: Foxboro Hot Tubs song}
- Bike down, down to the downtown. Down to the lockdown... boards, nails lye around.
- And a fall from you is a long way down. I've found a better way out.
- I just shook the handshake. I just sealed the deal I'll try not to let them take everything they can steal. {The Handshake, MGMT. trend got this one :)}
- Hey, Mr. Carter. Tell me where have you been? Cuz they've been askin, they've been searching they've been wondering why. {Mr. Carter, Lil' Wayne. Good work, Troy!}
- Betty came by on her way. Said she had a word to say 'bout things today and fallen leaves.
- Fly high on the rug With the ones you know With the ones you love With the ones you trust. Riding the van, the bus, the plane again. And hear the sound.
- Now, who ya talking to, baby I'm GROWN! {Grown Woman, Mary J. Blige. Yay for you, Elton Noon!}
- Your back's against the wall. There's no one home to call. You're forgetting who you are. You can't stop crying. {Standing in the Way of Control, The Gossip. Nice work, August!}
- 20 times I wish you'd understand, that you're breakin the heart of this heartbreakin man. 20 times i wish you'd use the door, cause you're makin this heart want some more. {Heartbreakin Man, My Morning Jacket. yay cultconspiracy!}
- Let's Dance. Put on your red shoes and dance the blues. {Let's Dance, David Bowie. Woo hoo, Lakposhti!}
- Oh all my love don't you leave me cuz I don't wanna learn how to die. Oh oh my love. And oh my my you know I can't get over cuz I can't even seem to get by. Oh oh my.
- I took her on a simple trip to see her husband's family and on the way upon her hip was layed my head down gently. {Ease Down on the Road, Bonnie Prince Billy. Good on ya, RSchaut!}
Comments (43)
Damn....I'm such a Mogeezer. I can only get #19.
BTW shoot me an email So as not to ruin the competition) and give me the the answer to #10. I like that one a lot (so far).
6. notorious b.i.g. - "juicy"
obviously. the rest i cant put enough thought into... :)
im guessing number 13 has something to do with jay z
lak, it's ok to post any answers/guesses in the comments.
hey sam! nope, 13 isn't referring to that mr. carter!
Ok...Let's Dance, David Bowie is #19. I know I'm a genius.
Wait a minute.
Anytime (was that the name of the song?)by Arlo Guthrie is #5 ....I gotta read better.
Damn, number 2 is from The Chronic. Can't think of the song though.
13 is (duh) Mr. Carter by Lil Wayne. Sam was partly right on this one.
that's the right mr. carter for 13!
2 is definitely from the chronic...
Yeah, all I keep thinking is "I drop bombs like Hiroshima."
Other than that, I'm drawing a blank on #2.
Okay, I kinda cheated. I didn't google the lyrics, but I did look up the track listing for The Chronic to jog my memory. I won't answer though unless no one else can get it.
#12- "the Handshake" by MGMT
go on, troy. let 'em all know!
yeah, trend, right on! i was wondering who would guess that one correctly. i don't think i would be able to name these songs myself even though they're out of my own collection.
Oh, I wish I had to time to do this now...how fun!!
come back later. they're tough ones, i'm sure there'll still be more guessing left for ya :)
Number 16, Mary J?? Is that too obvious??
hi elton, great guess! ..well technically i guess it's ludacris but on a mary j. song. she's a grown woman, alright!
20... DR DAWG
Okay, I think #2 is High Powered.
#9 is 'Mary' by Scissor Sisters
#17 is 'Standing In The Way Of Control' by The Gossip.
I think those answers couldn't be anymore gay, ahahahaha!
Uncle A stole my answers for 9 and 17..........darn it!
Number 1 is Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Lovely Creature!
you're stumping everyone brittany
hey happy guessing times! everyone's right except:
Elton, you gotta list the song title, sir!
August, hahha that would be almost as gay as it gets IF #9 was the Scissor Sisters. You are right on with The Gossip though!
Anna! You are so good at the lyrics games. I was wondering how come it took so long for people to guess Nick Cave though.
Frost, what about a guess for #4?
#14, anyone?!
Startin' to feel old, Brittany. The only one I got, besides #19, is #21:
Ease down the Road by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Is #9 a Franz Ferdinand song? Help me out here B!
The band in #9 does start with an F but not Franz.
RSchaut, yeah my collection of songs I had to make this was from the songs on my ipod which is mostly newer stuff. Trust me, there would've been a lot more of a genre/era mix if I had my itunes library handy at the time. :) But good goin on 21!
If it's not Franz, I'll never figure it out!
because i like you so much, aug, here's a hint: they're a side project of a big name bay area based band....think, think!
Ok, I had to cheat. I did a google search for the lyrics & like I said I'd never have figured it out. I'd heard of FHT but hadn't heard any of their music & had no idea they were a side project of GD. I lucked out to get The Gossip's song.
I'd never have gotten it either! I think I might have maxed out and the guessing game may be over now.
Hey Your majesty! I can't get any of these songs....
I tried and tried and i just have to accept i'm not good lyrics at all.
Now if Ya had some R.Y. in this list i'd be all over that. Ha!
Bye Brittany ...and i have to say that new photo of ya is stunning!
(sorry... couldn't stop myself !)
hey-hey, ygl. thanks! so nice of you to notice. i'll tell ya, i only know of the artist in #7 because of a post you did!
Oh God i shoulda had that! It's Yes, So On and So On! Thao! Yippee i'm not as dumb as i look! Oh and how can you not notice...Sheesh...
You go, YGL! Even brought the album with ya and all!
I wish i was in that helicopter! Thao is gorgeous!
I think #3 is "Faulty" by Black Mountain...Maybe???
This is fun, I'll have to put one of these together myself!
-Dusk
Yes! well it's called "Faulty Times" but i'm gonna give you credit for that one! Go Dusk!
#4 is an older Aaliyah joint isn't it (RIP, god bless her soul)? Called Never comin back or something similar to that? I'm surprised Wayne hasn't bitten the lyrics yet :-P.
YEP! Nice work. It's an Aaliyah song called "Never No More." God bless her!
If Aaliyah were alive I'd like to see her and Wayne collab.
Oh hell no. Wayne already stole the lyrics to an entire Aaliyah song and pawned it off with a different tempo as his own shit. You're desecrating her name just by saying that.
:( aw shit, can i take that back? i didnt know that! what song is it?
8. Plastis Wafers- Of Montreal
9. Stop, Drop, and Roll- Foxboro Hottubs
18. Heartbreakin Man- My Morning Jacket
you got 8 and 18 right. 9 is oh so close but no cigar. :)
Wow... Apparently I'm terrible at this game! Thanks for coming by my new page. Nice to meet you!
xo,
Matt
