rikibethThe music meme.
1) Put your digital music source on random.
2) Post the first line of the first 25 songs that come up. Although if the title is in the first line, it appears to be the Done Thing to go to the second line. If that happens, I'll include an ellipsis. Also, you are allowed to skip instrumentals. However, you are not allowed to skip embarrassing songs. Skipping duplicates from the same artist is okay, although not required. Putting them under a cut is just good common sense.
3) Let people guess the songs and artists. No googling allowed. Cross out songs as they're guessed.
4) Most versions of the meme say "Guess as many as you can!" here. I think that's obvious, isn't it?
You are of course invited to propagate this in your own journal.
I was going to say that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eternaleponine is TOTALLY NOT ALLOWED to play on my version, because, due to technical issues (like my computer being ANCIENT) most of the music on my iPod is hers anyway, and I have to ask nicely to get her to load any of my own music onto it... but she has, and we'll see how this works.
1)...And the tap drips under the strip light "10.15 Saturday Night," the Cure, identified by mrpet
2)Watch your mouth (Oh, oh, oh) Because your speech is slurred enough - fasteronfire525 has correctly identified this as Panic! At The Disco. The title still needs guessing. Anyone? "Nails for Breakfast, Tacks for Snacks." Right!
3)Don't try to call, there are some bridges that burn "Ruins," Melissa Etheridge, identified by shadowflyer
4)I made it through the wilderness, somehow I made it through - omgimnaked and auspeople recognized "Like A Virgin." The version on my iPod is NOT Madonna. Hint: from a soundtrack album, one of my favorites to play at work. And trowa_barton correctly places it on the "Threesome" soundtrack! The cover artist is Teenage Fanclub, for whatever that's worth. It's a bratty, snotty cover, and I adore it.
5)Back me down from backing up, hold your breath now, it's stacking up "Straitjacket Feeling," All-American Rejects, as_i_am
6) Why're you trying to second guess me?
7) Cashed in all my chips tonight
8)That young boy without a name, anywhere I'd know his face "What's the Matter Here," 10,000 Maniacs, identified by feste_sylvain, who also noticed my new journal title
9)You know it - you know that I got the boom with the bit and you babies gonna flip - yo yo yo "Cocaine and Toupees," Mindless Self Indulgence, identified by eternaleponine because I would NEVER have listened to them in the first place if it weren't for her
10)My heart ticks in beat with these kids that I grew up with "Grenade Jumper," Fall Out Boy, as_i_am
11)...pages of what's for sale, what's on the auction block "Classifieds," The Academy Is..., identified by omgimnaked
12) I spent so many nights in, spent so many nights in, drivin' around in my '62
13)Without a sound I took her down and dressed in red and blue I squeezed "Drowning Lessons," My Chemical Romance, identified by the_red_shoes
14)There's a solitary man crying, "Hold me." "The Card Cheat," The Clash. From "London Calling." Mostly gotten by the_red_shoes.
15)Having trouble trying to sleep "Brain Stew," Green Day, guessed by kadath
16) Staring in your eyes I found a match not to fold
17) In the nighttime I watch the day's events
18)Oh, how do you do, young Willie MacBride, do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside? "No Man's Land" a/k/a "Green Fields of France", identified by immlass in its original (I would have said Eric Bogle too) and by eternaleponine as the Dropkick Murphys version because she knows perfectly well it's the only one on my iPod and we just won't talk about that time I missed the exit to her house because we were singing along to it, right?
19)She was frigid like a Bible when she met her boyfriend Michael "Slap and Tickle," Squeeze, identified by gnomi
20)What if I wanted to break, laugh it all off in your face, what would you do? "The Kill," 30 Seconds to Mars, identified by omgimnaked
21) By vigil's light this night to keep
22)Hello, darkness, my old friend Sounds of Silence, Simon & Garfunkel, guessed by immlass and omgimnaked
23)Why should I take your hand when you can't promise happy endings? "Thoughts Before Me," Amber Pacific, identified by eternaleponine
24) I'm the living result, I'm a man who's been hurt a little too much -cestunreve gets the title, "I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down." Given that, some of you have NO EXCUSE for not getting the artist now.
25)There's so much discomfort, I can't seem to ignore all this "Piercing Through," Phathom, identified by eternaleponine because NOBODY else has even heard of this band (but they're good, I swear)
Okay,eternaleponine IS allowed to guess, because I would not know most of these from their first lines! And there's one where I think she's the only one on my friendslist who's even heard of the band.
Have at it!
