The iPod's on shuffle, and these are the first bits of lyrics from twenty-five songs that came up. Identify them for the glory of being right!



1. I looked under chairs/ I looked under tables/ I tried to find the key to 50 million fables
(guessed by ivy03)

2. Been a whole lot easier since the bitch left town/ Been a whole lot happier without her face around
(guessed by feiran, viridian, saikogrrl)

3. Make up your mind/ Decide to walk with me
(guessed by edgehopper, viridian)

4. She shines in a world full of ugliness/ She matters when everything is meaningless
(guessed by viridian, moonlightalice)

5. I walked around my good intentions/ And found that there were none
(guessed by feiran, viridian)

6. Blue like water/ Blue like heaven is/ All of the time

7. I come home in the mornin' light/ My mother says when you gonna live your life right?
(guessed by chuckro, viridian, saikogrrl)

8. You're sorta stuck where you are/ But in your dreams you can buy expensive cars
(guessed by feiran, viridian)

(guessed by feiran, viridian)

10. Here come old flattop/ He come grooving up slowly
(guessed by hslayer)

11. I wasn't jealous before we met/ Now every woman I see is a potential threat
(guessed by feiran but she's a BUTT for not knowing the right artist)

12. Got a green light, gotta green light, yeah/ But I'm going nowhere.

13. Hey where did we go?/ Days when the rains came/ Down in the hollow/ Playin' a new game
(guessed by chuckro, viridian, neo_leviathan, saikogrrl)

14. Sometimes I really want to be alone/ But that's one state I'm never in
(guessed by chuckro)

(guessed by chuckro)

16. Blue jean baby/ L.A. lady/ Seamstress for the band
(guessed by chuckro, viridian)

19. Gotta make a move to a town that's right for me
(guessed by chuckro, neo_leviathan)

20. I've been searching for you/ I heard a cry within my soul
(guessed by viridian, saikogrrl)

21. Like a sentence of death/ I've got no options left
(guessed by feiran)

22. C'est moi et les garcons/ voila, c'est notre vie/ nous pensons que c'est bon/ de dormir apres midi

23. I like to dream/ Yes, yes, right between my sound machine
(guessed by edgehopper)

24. I, I look but never touch/ She says I drink too much/ I only think about myself, sex, and the couch

25. See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight

#7 is "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper
#13 is "Brown-Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison
#14 is "Germs" by Weird Al Yankovic
#15 is "Flood" by Jars of Clay
#16 is "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John
#19 is "Funky Town"...but I have no idea who performs that.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Correct on the first five, and I'll give you half credit for 19.

[hslayer.livejournal.com]

10: Come Together, Beatles
17: Crazy Train, OZZY!!!

Some others sound familiar, but I'm bad at these (or they're already guessed and I peeked).

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

You got those right.

[edgehopper.livejournal.com]

23 is Magic Carpet Ride, by Steppenwolf, I think.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Well done.

[edgehopper.livejournal.com]

I thought 3 sounded familiar, but I couldn't put it to the right tune before. Possum Kingdom, by the Toadies (knew there had to be a Guitar Hero song somewhere on your iPod, even if it's one not on a GH edition you own...)

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I didn't know it was even on GH games of any kind. Like I said, these are all totally random iPod generations. But you get credit for three then.

[edgehopper.livejournal.com]

It was one of the 10 bonus songs for the XBox 360 version of GH2. The easiest of the bunch that I haven't been able to full combo yet, thanks to the fade-out chorus...

[fairest.livejournal.com]

I'm not bothering with ones people have already guessed, so:

2) (Dunno the artist) Little Miss Can't be Wrong
5) Our Lady Peace - 4 a.m.
8) The Flaming Lips - Bad Days
11) Erasure - Lay All Your Love on Me (though I was sure it was Take a Chance on Me for a while)
21) Rob Dougan - Furious Angels

[fairest.livejournal.com]

Whoops, and 8) Reel Big Fish - I Want Your Girlfriend to be My Girlfriend Too

[fairest.livejournal.com]

*sigh*. That's number 9, I mean.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Half credit for #2 for not knowing the artist; ditto for #11 (dude, ORIGINAL ARTIST).

But full credit for 5, 8, 9, 21

2: Spin Doctors - Little Miss Can't Be Wrong
3: Toadies - Possum Kingdom
4. NIN - Fragile
5. Our Lady Peace - 4 AM
7: Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
8: ... shit, I know this song. It's from the fucking Batman Forever soundtrack. "But you hate your boss at your job, and in your dreams you can blow his head off..." -- Flaming Lips? I can't remember what it's called, though.
9: I want your girlfriend to be my girlfriend too, from the DOAX soundtrack. Forget the artist there, too.
13. Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
16: Elton John - Tiny Dancer?
20: Lenny Kravitz - Again

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Yes, #8 is The Flaming Lips, and you've got the CD even right. Well done. And you've got the right song on #9. I think's is called "I Want Your Girlfriend," not the longer title, but I assume I'm wrong usually.

The rest are all right!

[neo-leviathan.livejournal.com]

#13 - Brown Eyed Girl, Van Morrisen
#19 - Funky Town, Lipps Inc

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Morrison, but yes :)

And finally, someone got the artist on 19. Well done!

[moonlightalice.livejournal.com]

Wow I'm late to this the only one I know is:

#4 The Fragile (CUTEST WIDDLE TWENT WEZNOR SONG EVAR)

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Imagery...does...not...compute...

(but you're right of course)

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

"The Seeker" by The Who (nobody got that? heathens.)

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Smack 'em good, I say.

[saikogrrl.livejournal.com]

2. Spin Doctors - Little Miss Can't Be Wrong
7. Cindy Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
13. Van Morrison (& Everclear) - Brown Eyed Girl
19. I know this one, but can't remember
20. Lenny Kravitz - Again (Fushigi Yuugi AMV! ^^)

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Well done on all. Check out the other comments if you still don't know which #19 is. Or I should probably post about this with answers :)

And, aww, I'm not the only one who's seen that FY fanvid that's too cute.
