Is it just me, or has this game grown harder after RS.com went down? I mean, I've always sucked at this, but I could always hope to get a few off of any list (although most of them were taken by others before I could post the answers), but now I count myself lucky if I can get ONE line.
Which is why I only lurk here for the most part...

You have a good point. I didn't realize when I made my list that it looks fairly simple for me to compile but not everyone recognizes them nor does everyone know the full lyric. Sometimes I just know snippets of songs- like that Ol'55, I heard the Eagles-version so often but I couldn't even tell you how the rest of the song goes. To make up for it all, here's an easier, bubblegum lyric-trivia- I'd expect these ones to fly off before I'll get back next time  1. You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand. 2. Haunting notes, pizzicato strings, the rhythm is calling 3. It's silly no when a rocket ship explodes and everybody still wants to fly? 4. Somebody better put you back in your place. 5. Son, she said, have I got a little silly story for you 6. Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home 7. Hey little girl is your daddy home? 8. I want to kiss you in Paris.... 9. You turn me on, you lift me up like the sweetest cup... 10. Packin' up, shackin' up is all you wanna do... 11. You should see her go go go... 12. If I could, you know I would, If I could, I would let it go.... 13. Travellin' in a fried out combi, on a hippy trail head full of zombie... 14. The record shows, I took the blows.... 15. I was a high school loser, never made it with the ladies... 16. You got to make it hot, like a boomerang I need a repeat... 17. Who'd thought we could be lovers, she makes the bed and he steals the covers... 18. Come gather 'round people wherever you roam... 19. I've never done good things, I've never done bad things... 20. Can't seem to face up to the facts.... 21. Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around since I was born. 22. If you like to gamble I tell you I'm your man... 23. If ya give this man a ride, sweet memory will die ... 24. If you’re on your own in this life, the days and nights are long... 25. Like a river flows surely to the sea, darling so it goes... 26. An angel’s smile is what you sell.... 27. I used to be a little boy, so old in my shoes.... 28. Whats with these homies dissing my girl, why do they gotta front? 29. It's the man you fought with this morning, the same one you're gonna make love with tonight..... 30. Clouds of mystery pourin’ confusion on the ground.... I know that most of you will know a few, but can we give Ryo first dibs at these? If you're trigger happy to post an answer, just mail them to me instead! I'll fix up the answers later! |

Ha! Whining DOES work!!!  5. Son, she said, have I got a little silly story for you A Pearl Jam song (Alive?) 12. If I could, you know I would, If I could, I would let it go Bad - U2 19. I've never done good things, I've never done bad things Ashes To Ashes - David Bowie 20. Can't seem to face up to the facts I'm not entirely sure about this, but is this Psycho Killer? 24. If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long Everybody Hurts - David Bowie 26. An angel's smile is what you sell You Give Love A Bad Name - Bon Jovi 27. I used to be a little boy, so old in my shoes Smashing Pumpkins? 28. Whats with these homies dissing my girl, why do they gotta front? A Weezer song, I think Oh yeah maarts, just wanted to say, I got your email. I'll reply back in due course (I'm really slow with these things...) And now, I'm going to do a different quiz (lyric quizzes are too hard for me!). Instead of song lines, I'm going to list song titles, and the idea is to guess the artists (didn't we have a game like this way back when?). Although I do realize that it's possible for different songs to have same titles. 1. Stupid Thing 2. Jet Set Junta 3. Last Goodbye 4. Oblivious 5. Friends Of Mine 6. Alternative Ulster 7. This Is The One 8. Star Fruit Surf Rider 9. Pissing In A River 10. Every Little Step 11. Shine Like Stars 12. Beat(en) Generation 13. Mother's Little Helper 14. Death Of A Party 15. Accused Of Stealing |

Ryo! Done well, mate! 1. is certainly Alive, 20. is definitely Psycho Killer, 27. is Pumpkins and 28. Weezer....bit concerned about the mentioned artist on 24 but the track is correct....
For the rest- up and at them!

Ryo, from your quiz:
4. Aztec Camera
7. Stone Roses (class track!)

Tunes- good stuff, Solsbury Hill is dead solid perfect, although number 25 isn't Unchained Melody.....

Post by tuneschick on Aug 12, 2004 10:03:48 GMT -5
Whoops! Yeah, now that I think about it a little more carefully, Unchained Melody is 'Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea...'. Didn't look at that one very carefully, obviously - sounded right!
Not a clue what the RIGHT answer is though...
