Song meme...
You know the drill. 25 random songs. I put up a line. You guess. You get e-cookies. Congrats for you. Should be doing papers. Fuck papers.
Well, that's a good start... first random song I can't understand for the life of me, Animal Collective - "Loch Raven." Rock on, second song is the James Bond theme. No lyrics. Okay, let's try again... Okay, seriously now! Song three, Sufjan Stevens - "To The Workers Of The Rock River Valley Region, I Have An Idea Concerning Your Predicament," has no words either! "Homeland Security" by Lewis Black! You're not a song! HEY LOOK, FINALLY!
1. "You are only
a redeemer
you are holy
like Demetrius."
2. "Tell me, how could this be
the land of the free
without the freedom
of opportunity?" ("Kept In Limbo" - AyurvedA! Congratulations, incuzepmama, you go to Ithaca College!")
Oh boy, more comedy that isn't a song. "Rehab" by Denis Leary. Followed by "MegaMan X: Sigma Level 1" by the NESkimos? Joy! Okay, more lyrics...
3. "I've been looking
for a woman
to save my life."
4. "I followed my hands
not my head
I know I was wrong."
5. "I think that it's brainless to assume that making changes to your window's view will give a new perspective."
6. "Useless and full of it
Why no one else can believe in this
You wanna feel something to call your own."
No lyrics breaktime! "Year Of The Boar" by Sufjan Stevens.
7. "What happened after the storm?
Was everyone okay?"
8. "Suddenly it came into existence
Smokestacks belching into the sky
When they approached, it moved into the distance
It seemed as though they'd be denied."
Damn it, Sufjan... "Year Of The Tiger" is lacking in words too, unless you can't the lo's or la's or whatever. It's pretty and all, but you're not helping.
9. "Love is insane, and Baby
We are too."
10. "Death is the answer
to calculations composed
of motions that are the same."
11. "So note all ye lovers in love with the sound
Your world be shattered with nary a note
Of one Cupid's arrow under your coat."
Sufjan's musical interlude: "Tahquamenon Falls"
12. "Roll me in designer sheets
I'll never get enough." ("Call Me" by Blondie! silverspring18 pwned ur asses! ...'cept this was an easy one.)
13. "This is like pulling teeth
Said the man with the gap-toothed smile." ("Returns and Exchanges" by Cursive! Damn, trinora, way to freakin' go!")
14. "Yeah yeah
oh yeah

really really really really really really really really really really reaaaally
yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah ye-eah
really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really yeah yeah

I really don't like him at all." ("Oh Yeah Yeah" by Marzipan! Way to be a total geek, ddrussianinja!)
15. "Where the air is clean
and the people aren't mean
even sight unseen I know
I've got to gooooooo!"
16. "Cold silence has
a tendency to
atrophy any
sense of compassion." ("Schism" - Tool! I knew incuzepmama would get this one...)
Big surprise, more Sufjan Stevens! "Year Of The Rat!"
17. "I'll fight with all I've got
I'm a number one hero!"
18. "JayowenstarclusterA.X.
Breathe slowly. Breathe out
Cause car wrecks
Your destiny's not manifest
The best."
19. "You've been created
severed from life and limb
stranded an infant
on the front step of the universe."
20. "It's getting too loud
It keeps on pushing you out
Into the arms of 1994." ("Homecoming King" by Guster! silverspring18 got you again!)
21. "I have a meeting with that nun today
We're gonna talk about cock-blockin' with the reverend who's gay."
22. "First I'll buy some beads. And then perhaps a leather band to go around my head. Some feathers and bells. And a book of Indian lore. I will ask the Chamber of Commerce how to get to Haight Street and smoke an awful lot of dope. I will wander around barefoot. I will have a psychodelic gleam in my eye at all times. I will love everyone I will love the police as they kick the shit out of me on the street. I will sleep. I will... I will go to a house. That's... that's what I will do I will go to a house where there's a rock and roll band because the groups all live together. And I will join a rock and roll band I will be their road manager. And I will stay there with them and I will get the crabs but I won't care."
23. "Milk the scapegoat
Milk it dry
Put it down
And watch it die."
24. "And if you're happy I am too
And if you're sleeping I'm with you."
25. "We shot the sun from the sky
Apollo dead at our feet
We wander lost in the rye
And gather 'round in the street."
And finally... 25 songs! With words! Hooray. Some easy, some near impossible. NO CHEATIN'!
