MP3 Meme At Last

[apolla]

Surely you thought I wasn't going to pass up an opportunity to be a rock geek and confuse you with all things musical and potentially obscure?

 

1. "Are there any of the girls who'd like a little more Irish in them?"

2. "I saw myself in the mirror in profile for the first time."

3. "Now I'm grown up and playing in a band."

4. "Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout."

5. "Sometimes when you're feeling like a poor relation/Call on me and I'll give you more than conversation." If anyone gets this without looking it up, you have my undying love and respect.

6. "He always runs while others walk."

7. "Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly, Good Golly Miss Molly and boats."

8. "As I walked down through Chatham Street, a fair maid I did meet."

9. "Well lookee there/Here she comes/Here comes that girl again/Wanted to date her since I don't know when."

10. "And you may ask yourself, how did I get here?"

11. "Poor old Grandad, I laughed at all his words."

12. "To rise in the world he carried a hod."

13. "You may see a stranger, across a crowded room."

14. "She has robes and she has monkeys."

15. "Squeeze my lemon, till the juice runs down my leg." Clue: Probably not the first song you think of.

16. "Attack! Attack! Attack! That's what we lack."

17. "I see a clinic full of cynics."

18. "And I'll be at your side forever more."

19. "Tyre tracks all across your back."

20. "You had plenty money, 1942."

I've still not uploaded loads to my Dino the MP3 player, so it's not the most varied list ever. To earn my complete and undying respect, you have to get the right artist for each song, which might not be so easy on a couple that have been done more than once. Knock yeselfs out.

10. "And you may ask yourself, how did I get here?"

Talking Heads, Once in a Lifetime (??)

[apolla.livejournal.com]

Yes! :D

[annearchy.livejournal.com]

It was the only one I knew!!! &hearts Talking Heads!

[ladyaeryn.livejournal.com]

Mwah. The only thing I recognize from this is that I apparently have no musical knowledge whatsoever, LOL. (Well, #18 sounds familiar, but I don't know the artist or the title of the song - 'That's What Friends Are For'? - so it may as well not be familiar at all, and I may as well have not even mentioned it. ;))

Sorry, you're wrong!

[ladyaeryn.livejournal.com]

Like I said. *g*

13 - South Pacific, "Some Enchanted Evening"

And I knew 10, but Anne beat me. ;-)

[annearchy.livejournal.com]

OH DUHHHHHHHHHHHH!! How did I miss 13?? Since I know only 2 songs on this list??!!? *headdesk*

[apolla.livejournal.com]

It's not the South Pacific version. It's the right song, but the wrong artist.

3 Kinks, Come Dancing

10 Talking Heads, Once in a Lifetime

[apolla.livejournal.com]

Cha-ching!

[empressov.livejournal.com]

13 is "Some Enchanted Evening" methinks.
14 is Teh Doors and I'm thinking "Loooovoe Street"

[apolla.livejournal.com]

Yes on both counts, but I'm afraid without guessing the artiste for 13, you cannot enter the Music Geek Hall of Fame.

[empressov.livejournal.com]

Bing's version is my idea of the song at it's best. But I think Frank and Perry also sang it. Oh, and Etta James has a very good version of it, too.

[apolla.livejournal.com]

You're warmer with Frank. Think of the tall dude sometimes spotted standing next to him, cocky smirk on his face...

[empressov.livejournal.com]

A rat packer then--Dean?

[cadey.livejournal.com]

Let's see here now:

1. Thin Lizzy, spoken by Philip Lynott on the Live and Dangerous album. If it's in a song, I just don't know. :)) But I know it's Lizzy.

15. If it's not The Lemon Song by Zep, then I'm going to guess You Need Love by Muddy Waters.

[apolla.livejournal.com]

You're right on Teh Lizzy, although it precedes Emerald, a song about Ireland. :D

15... you had the right band but the wrong song.
