Timewasting is so fun!

[bronster]

Yay! I'm off to have drinks and dumpling with the pussy posse (a bunch of girlfriends from work)!

As promised, here's my little list of first song lines...some should be easy (at least for danmeddy, a couple are a bit dorky (but still cool...really), a couple might be a bit obscure, not sure!

1. I got the style, but not the grace2. All my life is on me

Comments

[elf_meg]

*pout* i only know one

3. Fuel - Ani di Franco

Some of the others ring bells... but I dunno what they are. I fail!

[bronster]

YOU PASS! well done. one gold star:)

[slaine1]

2. Foo Fighter - All my life (I THINK, not sure!)

6. Hoodoo Gurus - Wild Wild West

9. Led Zeplin - somesongthateveryonesingstobutidon'tknowthenameof!

11. Whatisface - Thesongwithplacardsinthefilmclip

*sigh* Mental block. Short name. Not Tom Waits. Really influential.... Gah! I'll come back to that!

I know more, just remembering!

[slaine1]

11. Bob Dylan - Thesongwithplacardsinthefilmclip

Yay!

[bronster]

Sweet. nice one, tiger - and you half got the one I thought was pretty obscure...
2. bzzzt. nope - not even the right gender!
6. title of song correct - but not the Hoodoos...a considerably less well known group. LOVE the song. Ahh. sometimes the eighties did not suck.
9. yessss.... need the name of the track though (Robert Plant circa 1975 was so HOT)
11. well done! I think you deserve a biscuit. For effort.

[bronster]

oh,and has got to be one of the most programmed clips on Rage (but what a great clip!! - and has Alan Ginsberg in it as a drunk bum). along with the Specials- Ghost Train. And - a lineage of influence as follows:
- Subterranean Homesick Blues
- Pump it Up (Elvis Costello)
- Wild Wild West (??)
- Chicken Payback (the Bees)

9. Led Zep' - Whole Lotta Love
14. BFF - The Last Polka

[bronster]

ding ding ding! Knew you'd get the BFF. Thought you might know more though... Yes it's Led Zep but not Whole Lotta Love.

[upandatthem]

my brain isn't switched on, lemme grab some coffee in the morning, and i'll have another crack

[bronster]

you should be able to have a good shot at 1,3,5,15, at least. And finish off on 9.

[chickenboy_ahoy]

wild wild west is by escape club, right?

8 is Polyphonic Spree - hold me now

10 is feeling good - you don't want me to say it's by muse though...gonna hafta think of the original

hmmmm, I know 12 too...i'll get back to ya

[bronster]

Yep - it is indeed Escape Club.

8. Correct!

You may well know 12 - many would think it daggy, but I like it!

[bronster]

and I didn't know Muse did a version of Feeling Good. Keep thinkin...

[chickenboy_ahoy]

Nina Simone? I'm not convinced it's right but if it's not her I'm stuck

[upandatthem]

been beat up and battered around,
been *something something* and been shot down,
*something something something* over exposed commercialised,
and a wee with her.

i'm so tired of bein' lonely, i still have some love to give,
won't you show me that you really care.

everybody's got somebody to leeeeeean ooowwn,
put your body, next to miiiine, and dreeeeeeeeaaaam ooown.

ok, sorry about that, i had to sing the song to myself, and i still don't know the name of the song, but didn't they call themselves The Travelling Willburys or something? It has George and The Big O in it anyways.

is that enough info to get me over the line?

[bronster]

LOL! and a wee with her?! That's a genuine (selfaware, i suspect) kiss this guy moment, dude. The name of the song is what you're mishearing as 'and a wee with her'... have a final bash and if it's even slightly close I'll give it to you. It is the Travelling Wilburys, who were: Bob Dylan, The Big O, Gerge Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne.

[upandatthem]

what IS the real lyric? i've always said "and a wee with her"

[bronster]

haha ah ah ha! did you knot think it a bit out of context? It's 'handle me with care'. Track is actually called Handle With Care.
