Music Meme

Aug 30, 2006 18:20

After much entertainment trying my hand at heisenbug's & flexagon's song meme posts... I couldn't help but try my own. So, I generated a list of 100 random songs, eliminated all local/really obscure stuff, and got rid of duplicate artists. That's right, no 2 songs on here are by the same artist ( Read more... )

Ha! The meme has mutated! As far as I know, the original meme required you to write down the first 25 songs that came up, no exceptions, no provisions for instrumentals. I think the "no duplicate artists" rule is the best of the mutations.

I'm completely stumped.

Some of these lyrics are great, but I don't recognize any of them. Damn.

(It's really been surprising to me how little anyone's songs are being recognized. The other 3 times I've seen this meme, everyone had a lot of Tori Amos and that all was snapped up, but beyond that the recognition is really sparse.)

Some of these lyrics are great...
Yeah, I thought that as I was copying them. They made me think of this quote from High Fidelity: "did i feel depressed because because i listened to pop music or did i listen to pop music because i was depressed"

14 = jack johnson, 21 = white stripes

That's all I've got.

Half right. jg26 August 31 2006, 16:00:53 UTC

You got 21, but not 14.

Oh, I forgot... Song title?

Hotel Yorba, but I only got that from googling...googling I was doing to verify my answer for 14: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/v/various+artists/badfishboss+dj+jack+johnson_10170053.html

I don't know the titles to many songs, I'm amazed I even got two artists without the music, but those are both very rhythmic artists, which helps me a lot with putting written lyrics together with music in my head.

Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day.

(I got lucky and it was playing while I was looking at the lyrics...)

Re: #10: jg26 September 1 2006, 21:03:22 UTC

What are the odds on that?

I'd say "pretty slim," but I've been returning to the meme a little to frequently today, so probably not-so-slim. Whatever....it's a Friday before a long weekend...
