Yes, I'm slacking on a Monday. Bad Wendy.

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.

My brother won the last round -- and he didn't even get a turn until like, a week after you LJers had seen it. Come on, you can beat him! I would offer fabulous prizes except I think that might lead some of you to cheat. No cheating!

The only ones I skipped this time were one that came up last time (out of 1300 songs you wouldn't think that would happen, but yeah) and a Radiohead song that I couldn't make out the intro by listening to it and my online lyrics source was just blatantly WRONG on that one. Good luck!

1. “I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know -- please don't say you're sorry” "Sorry" by Madonna. Guessed by elledwen
2. “The waiting drove me mad – you’re finally here and I’m a mess” "Corduroy" by Pearl Jam. Guessed by strangealchemy
3. “Bat your eyes girl, be otherworldly, count your blessings, seduce a stranger.” "Warning" by Incubus. Guessed by rocknrollpixie
4. “I'm tired of being what you want me to be, feeling so faithless, lost under the surface” "Numb" by Linkin Park. Guessed by elledwen
5. “Oh, when you walk by every night, talking sweet and looking fine, I get kinda hectic inside” "Fantasy" by Mariah Carey. Guessed by strangealchemy
6. “Hotter than a Puerto Rican mama, suckin' on ice in a sauna, hotter than a little cheerleader, throwin' back cheap tequila” "Nikki Don't Stop" by Low Millions. Guessed by elledwen

8. “If I were the betting kind I bet you thought the easy life was the one you thought you'd live by.”
9. “She leads a lonely life, she leads a lonely life.” "All That She Wants" by Ace of Base. Guessed by drusilla_malfoy

11. “Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire?”
12. “Down, down, down in your heart -- find, find, find the secret. Turn, turn, turn your head around, baby we can do it, we can do it all right”
13. “There was a game we used to play, we would hit the town on Friday night, stay in bed until Sunday.” "Just My Imagination" by the Cranberries. Guessed by my bro.
14. “Finally I've met you, the day has come, you're more than beautiful, and you're my son.”
15. “Baby we can talk all night, but that ain’t gettin’ us nowhere.” "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" by Meat Loaf. Guessed by rootytheroot

17. “I can just imagine you and me, running out of steam, going through the motions.”
18. “Your heart is not open, so I must go, the spell has been broken, I loved you so.” "The Power of Goodbye" by Madonna. Guessed by strangealchemy
19. “I don't wanna work in a building downtown, no I don't wanna work in a building downtown, I don't know what I'm gonna do ‘cause the planes keep crashing always two by two”
20. “This night, walk the dead in a solitary style and crash the cemetery gates.”
21. “There’s spiders in your room but there always will be.”
22. “When you’re alone and life is makin’ you lonely you can always go downtown.” "Downtown" by Petula Clark. Guessed by drusilla_malfoy

9. All That She Wants - I think that's Ace of Base
22. Petula Clark: Downtown

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Correct! And in doing this I realized I got the artist on one of yours wrong yesterday. I don't know if that's a hint or not. Heh.

[elledwen.livejournal.com]

1. Madonna- Sorry (at least I think thats what it's called.)
4. Linkin Park - Numb
6. Low Millions - Nikki Don't Stop
10. Nirvana - Come as you are (at least Ithink that's the name.)


That's all I know.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Good job!
This one seems harder than last time. But I think you only got one extra last time. Maybe it's just me.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yay!

7 is Electioneering by Radiohead
15 is Two Out of Three Aint Bad by Meat Loaf

I'm slightly ashamed I know #15. I used to be *so* obsessed with Meat Loaf. =P Looking back, he's good, but.. a bit cheesy =3

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Correct!
Hehe - well, it's more shameful that I just got that song in the last month or so, because I was missing it. I used to have a thing for Meat Loaf too. Those songs are great!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yeppers!

[designmusic.livejournal.com]

Number 23, "You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison" -- My Chemical Romance!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yes! Go Bailey! I remember you used to be totally into them.
(hint: there's another MCR song up there...)

[designmusic.livejournal.com]

I know, that was like, 2 years ago. They're still cool, though!
And I think number 23 was the only one I could get. I'm not one with lyrics, usually I just go neehh fah raaa sheh rehh, when I don't know the words.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Heee! You could send 'em to me but there's no guarantee they'd make it onto my iPod.

#14 is a very sweet song! And yeah, your lovely daughter sent #6 to me, so that's not surprising. There's another song on the list that I got from her too. Does that help?

There's an 80stastic song up there I'm surprised no one's gotten yet.

My, look how hint-y I am today.

Should I threaten to keep doing this game until all 25 actually get guessed? Or would that make people cheat? Ah, such dilemmas.

[sweet-panda.livejournal.com]

I GOT ONE I GOT ONE!!!

Number 24 "Inside Of You" by Hoobastank.

Whew! I was getting worried I wouldn't get one.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Wooooooooo!

Bleh, I'm not connecting with most of those leftovers. All I know are two:

13: Cranberries "Just My Imagination"

17: not sure, but it seems like Kaiser Chiefs "Love's Not a Competition" (and I think the parenthetical part is But I'm Winning)

-Stad

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Correct on #13, of course.

#17 is indeed a Kaiser Chiefs song, but not that one. Want to try again? (I never would have gotten this one either; I'm impressed you got the artist right)

[(Anonymous)]

No, I knew those lyrics were theirs, but since I've only recently checked out their stuff I only know the titles of my two faves (the song I mentioned and Ruby of course). It didn't quite seem right. But I'm glad I was incorrect, cuz that allowed the cute little Sun to inform me of the verdict. Maybe Kaiser Chiefs shoulda named the song "The Maid Did It."

-Stad

[(Anonymous)]

Also, #21 is grammatically incorrect and shoulda been disqualified from the competition.

-Stad

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I should delete my other Sun icon now cuz this one's cuter. Meh, I have the space.

I think Amber's going to beat you this round.

[aaronisthebest.livejournal.com]

12 is "Lets Get Together" by Madonna.

Guessed by me.
