Everyone else is doing it..

[per_solo]

This is always fun when it comes around:
Step 1: Get your play list together, put it on random, and play.
Step 2: Write down the first line from the first 20 songs that play or close to it.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

My list:

1. If blood will flow when fresh and steel are one - Sting - Fragile
2. I don't know but I've been told, The streets of hell are paved with gold - Alice Cooper - Cleansed by Fire
3. I must've dreamed a thousand dreams - Genesis - Land of Confusion
4. As I watch you move, across the moonlit room
5. My daddy left home when I was three - Johnny Cash - A Boy Named Sue
6. Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face - Christina Aguilera - Hurt
7. Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go - The Ramones - I wanna be sedated
8. Driving that train, high on cocaine - Grateful Dead - Casey Jones
9. So you think you're a romeo - Supertramp - Take the Long Way Home
10. I was so high I did not recognize - Maroon 5 - This Love
11. Beaten, why for (why for) - Drowning Pool - Bodies
12. I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste - Squeeze - Tempted
13. don't look, don't look, the shadows breathe The Cure - Burn
14. Disease! disease! spreading the disease.
15. How the hell'd we wind up like this? - Nickelback - Someday
16. Climb, climb into the rocket, And we set the fuse to go, go go
17. I had one pint of beer, and one shot of scotch - Brobdingnagian Bards (or Dust Rhinos) - Jedi Drinking Song
18. Lo nuestro se acabó y te arrepentiras
19. I Can't Stand It I Know You Planned It - Beastie Boys - Sabotage
20. Hush now don't you cry, Wipe away the teardrop from your eye Queensryche - Silent Lucidity

Enjoy, have fun, only 2 songs were turned away (as another had done them), but I'm amused, so there. :-P

Let's see if I can remember some of the titles to these >_<

7. I Wanna Be Sedated by The Ramones
12. (I know I know this one....and only the first verse will come to mind.)
20 Silent Lucidity by Queensryche

[per_solo]

Wow, that was quick. Yes, and yes. See if 12 comes to you later. :-)

[cassandramorgan.livejournal.com]

Hmmm....I'm pretty sure I don't know the artist but I think the song is Tainted By The Fruit of Another? Or something like that?



ARGH!

[per_solo]

Oh So Close! :-) *hugs*

[echoweaver.livejournal.com]

It's "TEMPTED by the fruit of another," but I never knew the artist :).

[per_solo]

*nod* Tempted is the title, but there are actually two artists on it..as it was covered several years ago by someone else who makes an appearance on this list. :-)

[cassandramorgan.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh.....hey, it took me long enough to get to that part of the song to begin with! ^_^

[per_solo]

*heh* Hey, you did good with the lyrics to begin with.

[toxico.livejournal.com]

8. Grateful Dead - Casey Jones
19. Beastie Boys - Sabotage

I know I know more of these too...

[per_solo]

Indeed, I long ago gave up the idea that any of my picks are ever "unique". :-)

[toxico.livejournal.com]

13. Cure - ...what the fuck is that title... oh, Burn
17. Uh, Jedi drinking song? Wild guess here.

[per_solo]

Yup on 13, ah, but who sings 17. :-P

[toxico.livejournal.com]

Hah, hell if I know on the artist. :P

[indyellen.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure the Jedi Drinking Song is either by Luke Ski or Tom Smith, but I can't say for sure.

[per_solo]

You got Land of Confusion, and I checked to make sure on "Tempted", but can't find that as an artist for it (I may have some information wrong, gonna check again), but no, the Jedi Drinking Song was not done (or covered to my knowledge) by Luke or Tom.

[indyellen.livejournal.com]

OK, that was a serious brain fart on my part. I should've guessed sooner, since one of them is on my f-list, but isn't "Jedi Drinking Song" Brobdingnagian Bards?

*kicks self repeatedly*

[per_solo]

I see that associated to them, but I don't see that they actually sang it...I'm confused, and will look some more. :-)

Ok, yes, they've done a version of it. That works.

[negative-42.livejournal.com]

2. is by Alice Cooper but I can remember the title
5. "Boy named Sue", Johnny Cash written by Shel Silverstein

[per_solo]

2. VERY good, i figured that one would cause a few "Um, what"'s.

5. Indeed.

[indyellen.livejournal.com]

3. "Land of Confusion", originally by Genesis, but recently covered (very well, might I add) by Disturbed (IIRC).

12. "Tempted by the Fruit of Another" by (I think) Gerry Rafferty, but I'm not 100% positive on the artist.

I recognize #2 & #10, but I can't quite place them yet. *sigh*

[negative-42.livejournal.com]

12. I'm only getting because everyone else is so close
"Tempted" by Squeeze and if I remember it was covered by
Joe Cocker. He did Tempted and You are so Beautiful on a show I saw.

[per_solo]

Indeed and more recently, it was done by Sting (few years ago..or more than a few years ago..ugh). :-)

[negative-42.livejournal.com]

Ah, so Sting or Joe Cocker did one of the songs on your list. ;-'
"*nod* Tempted is the title, but there are actually two artists on it..as it was covered several years ago by someone else who makes an appearance on this list. :-)"

[per_solo]

*nod* Indeed.

[indyellen.livejournal.com]

#9 finally kicked in - "Take the Long Way Home", by Supertramp

Harumph...now #4 & #6 look familiar. Gah.

[per_solo]

Yup, exactly.

Well, the fun is that a lot of songs look familiar. I find myself, when doing this game when others post it, trapped in how a song that I know sounds, and then that gets mixed into the lyrics for the next. :-)

[mobobocita.livejournal.com]

1. Sting - Fragile
6. Christina Aguilera - Hurt
10. Maroon 5 - This Love
11. Drowning Pool - Let the bodies hit the floor
15. Nickelback - Someday

[per_solo]

A nice run, 5 for 5. :-)

[negative-42.livejournal.com]

And sometimes the answer is right in front of you
or at least a memory trigger:
Squeeze - Tempted
The Cure - Burn
2. Alice Cooper from "The Last Temptation" cd
"Cleansed by fire"

[per_solo]

*nod* First two already guessed in the interim of this afternon evening (wow, this has gone down quickly), but yup, Cleansed by fire. :-)

[negative-42.livejournal.com]

If they hadn't of been guessed eariler I don't think
I would have remembered the song. Didn't really like the
CD. Only listened to it because of the Niel Gaiman GN book
I liked Welcome to my Nightmare better.

[per_solo]

*nod* Whereas I liked it (mainly cause I liked the connection with the Gaiman book), but I'm not sure I've ever heard all of "Welcome to my Nightmare" to do a comparison.

I DO like his radio show on Q95, however.

[ladysoleil.livejournal.com]

14 is Anthrax, isn't it? Don't remember the song title though, unless it's actually Spreading the Disease.

\m/ \m/

metal!

[per_solo]

Yes, it is indeed Anthrax, but not "Spreading the Disease".

Never got much into Metal (just some), but this song I can thank Clerks 2 (well, the trailer anyways) for. :-)
