Ganked from asinpterodactyl!

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line (or first and second line if it's completely impossible) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing. I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and pick lines from any location in the songs to make things more interesting. Otherwise, #2, #14, and #26 ( Read more... )

2) Is "I will Survive" by...Diana Ross?

7) Is "Dance Magic Dance" by David Bowie.

8) Is "Sorry(?)" by Bare Naked Ladies.

10) Is "Elanor Rigby" by the Beatles.

30) Is "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane.

Diana Ross didn't do "I Will Survive," but really, what else has Gloria Gaynor done? So I'll give it to you. ^_- 7, 10, and 30 are also right.

You should know 15, by the way. I'm not sure about any of the others that haven't been guessed, but I know you know that one.

I figured out what it was, but couldn't remember who it was by (and can't guess now because I googled it).

wenchpower March 18 2011, 00:08:43 UTC

Ahhh. Fair 'nuff.

I'm so bad at recognizing music lyrics, but I think I got a few.

8) "One Week" BNL

14)"Beauty and the Beast" Angela Lansbury, Beauty and the Beast

21)"Be Our Guest" Candlestick, from Beauty and the Beast

26) "American Pie" by Don McClean?

wenchpower March 15 2011, 17:29:49 UTC

Yes on all counts!

20) "Rainbow Connection" by ... Kermit?

26) "Into the West" By Annie Lennox and Howard Shore

wenchpower March 15 2011, 17:30:09 UTC

Jawohl! I think Jim Henson wrote the actual song, but eh. It's Kermit. ;)

asinpterodactyl March 16 2011, 21:14:58 UTC

Jim Henson was a genius, but he didn't write "Rainbow Connection". It's by Paul Williams (who actually has a cameo as a piano player in the Muppet Movie) and Kenny Ascher.

Ahh. Good thing I wasn't looking for that, then!

asinpterodactyl March 16 2011, 21:19:49 UTC

You have excellent taste in music!!!

Most of the ones I know have been guessed already, but I'll take a stab at some of the others...

1. Flagpole Sitta, by, uh, Harvey Danger?

17. Is this "Who Put The Bomp In The Bomp-Shi-Bomp-Shi-Bomp?"?

27. Euphoria (Firefly) by Delerium.

wenchpower March 17 2011, 16:46:58 UTC

Correct on all counts, including my excellent taste in music. ^_-

Holy crud, you got 27! I didn't expect anyone to get 27! The only reason I know it is because mordelis used it as a character theme in our Iron Kingdoms game and I thought it was pretty.

asinpterodactyl March 17 2011, 21:48:40 UTC

I'm a big Delerium fan. If you like "Euphoria (Firefly)", you might like some of their other stuff. This one, for example. It's called "Aria", and it's one of the favorites, in part because the whole thing's in Middle English.

That is AWESOME.

Thread 5

5 "Mad World" by Tears for Fear
13 "Losing my Religion" by REM

wenchpower March 20 2011, 18:31:36 UTC

Jawohl! (Huh, it was the Gary Jules cover. I didn't even know Tears for Fears did it originally.)

gallyndur March 24 2011, 08:14:09 UTC

I figured it was the cover, which is infinitely better than the original, but I couldn't come up with Gary Jules' name. For some reason, I also have a tendency to think his last name is Jiles rather than Jules.
