That song meme is going around again.

[lumy12]

Step 1. Put your playlist on random.
Step 2. Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3. Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly. NO GOOGLING.

Man, some of these are hard! I wouldn't even get them myself. I swear the only ones I skipped were instrumentals (two). And my iPod really does like to pick songs by the same artist multiple times. See, I didn't skip to make myself look more diverse or whatever.

Whoever guesses the most may or may not get a fabulous prize! Have fun!

4. Either "Disenchanted" or "Famous Last Words" by MCR
7. "One" - U2
9. "This Love" - Maroon 5
11. "Time is Running Out" - Muse


I know the lyrics of #10. But I can't place it. Booo!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

You got 4, 9, and 11 - but NOPE to #7. I know you know the song though so try again!

[elledwen.livejournal.com]

Oh Crap. Robbie Williams "Karma Killer"

U2 "One" starts.."Is it getting better Or do you feel the same". For some reason that seemed the same to me.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I knew you knew it since you sent me the song :)

[elledwen.livejournal.com]

Is #10 AFI?

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yes - but you'll have to tell me what song... hey looks like you're the only one playing right now though so you may have time.

[elledwen.livejournal.com]

I'm going to say it's either "The Leaving Song Part 2" or "Girls Not Grey".

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

ding ding ding! Yup - the second one.

[elledwen.livejournal.com]

Yaaaay!

[ascendingflame.livejournal.com]

1) "Don’tcha know... they’re talkin’ about a revolution" - That sounds like "Talking about a Revolution" by Tracy Chapman, but it seems too easy, too obvious...
3) "Yellow bird flying, get shot in the wing" - Tori Amos, Little Earthquakes
5) "Someone’s knockin’ on my kitchen door, leave the wood outside" - Tori Amos, Cloud on My Tongue
24) "I gave you all the love I got, I gave you more than I could give…I gave you love" - could that be Sade, No Ordinary Love?

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

YES to all of them!
And I was kind of annoyed that the first song was that Tracy Chapman, because it IS too easy to have the title in the first line like that. Hehe. Good job!

[jellybellys.livejournal.com]

Aha! I know one! 19 is Garbage, "Temptation Waits". ;o)

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yup! Oooo shiny icon.

[jellybellys.livejournal.com]

Thanks! ;o) Yours is lickable.

[karinablack.livejournal.com]

so many of them sound familiar!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I know, isn't it annoying? I hope the others who did this post the answers so I can kick myself for the ones I knew but didn't guess.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Correct!

You just don't want HP to be over. I can sympathize. It sucks now that it is. At least we have 2 more movies to look forward to. And of course I'm still re-reading :)

You can link to that post, yeah... your darling daughter can prolly tell you how over AIM? (or I can later) or you could not make it so pretty and just copy/paste the actual link.

And lumycats won't friend you back unless you're a cat! Hehe, Gryffin was cute yesterday - he was afraid of my arm weight thing.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Oh and I don't even know #7 so yeah, probably not my genre :) but you were correct on #20. *goes to edit*

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Nope!

And your name being Cat doesn't count, you are a human! If you'd like the kitties to comment more on your entries though I'm sure I could get them to :)

[rootytheroot.livejournal.com]

#2 is Black Swan by Thom Yorke!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

YES!!! I really didn't think anyone would get that one! It had to be either you or my brother (and he probably won't even be online until everyone else has had a go)

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not gonna cheat and look stuff up, so I only know a few (looks like other people don't remember the grunge era songs):

12 - Nirvana "Stay Away"

17 - STP "Trippin on a hole in a paper heart"

18 - not sure about the artist, but it's the song "Wishing On a Star" I think by Covergirls? Unless it's the Bangles or one of those other 80s girlbands

21 - STP, but can't recall the title - it's a rockin song from the album #4 - I'll guess it's "No Way Out" but maybe I'm just being 1/8th gay for Kevin Costner in saying that - maybe it was called "Long Way Down" or just "Down" I dunno

22 - STP "Unglued" (that's a lot of STP, but each one is from a different album at least)

23 - this one bugs me of course being MY band cuz I don't recall the title - I know the song well but don't remember all the titles from recent records as well as the old stuff - it's R.E.M., the first track from Reveal

25 - everyone should know this one, such a great song with lots of play on rock radio - Alice in Chains "Down in a Hole"

Some others sound familiar but I can't place them.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Correct, of course - I'll update the list and post the answers tomorrow or so. Then you can kick yourself for the ones you couldn't place :)
