having some caramel apple tea and a piece of cake from my favorite cafe and I think it's time to play that game where I type the first line of each song that comes up on shuffle on my iPod and you see if you can identify the song and the artist! no googling lyrics because that's cheating (and this was not easy to do because a lot of the songs that came up were either instrumentals or not in English so I couldn't use them)

1. I get high when I see you go by
2. So long ago, was it a dream
3. (song title redacted) the world is round it turns me on
4. I was alone, I took a ride
5. Something filled up my heart with nothing
6. This ain't rock and roll, this is genocide!
7. Shakey threw a party that lasted all night
8. I got me a complication and it's an only child
9. I was (song title redacted) in 1941, I was (song title redacted) in 1941
10. (song title redacted) baby, I can't take it now
11. I ain't got no money, I ain't like those other guys you hang around
12. Wire is coming back again, Elastica got sued by them
13. Hey (song title redacted) tell me where you been, hey (song title redacted) tell me where you been
14. Well, she was an (song title redacted) raised on promises
15. Well, it's (song title redacted) OK, all across the USA
16. Well, I never got my license to live, they won't give it up
17. (song title redacted) it's the next best thing to be (song title redacted)
18. (song title redacted) yeah yeah yeah (song title redacted) yeah yeah yeah
19. We hear you're leaving, that's OK, I thought our little wild time had just begun
20. Buddy, you're a boy, make a big noise playing in the street

is 14 "American Girl" by Tom Petty?

20 is "We Will Rock You" by Queen

[greghousesgf]

right on both counts!

[garonne]

Great idea! But also pretty hard :)

1. I do know this, I just can't place it...

2. This is something by the Beatles, right? I can hear it in my head, I just can't remember the first word/song title. It might be "Because"?

3. The Beatles again, "She Loves You"

4. Queen, "We Will Rock You"

I think you're getting the numbers confused.

[garonne]

Argh! I think Dreamwidth renumbered everything from 1 to 4. So it was supposed to be:

Number 1: I do know this, I just can't place it...

Number 3: This is something by the Beatles, right? I can hear it in my head, I just can't remember the first word/song title. It might be "Because"?

Number 18: The Beatles again, "She Loves You"

Number 20: Queen, "We Will Rock You"

#3 is Because by the Beatles
#18 is She Loves You, also by the Beatles
#20 is We Will Rock You by Queen

#5 circled around my head maddeningly for several minutes until I could finally remember the next part - it's Wake Up by Arcade Fire, yes?

#12 is Welcome to the Monkey House (I think - it's definitely something by the Dandy Warhols!)

#19 is definitely Rikki Don't Lose That Number.

[greghousesgf]

that's right!

All great songs. :)
