Music meme!!!

[timelord1]

Yeah, I stole this from onabearskinrug. I never talk to her any more. Dang!

1. Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.
2.Record the first few lines of the first thirty songs that come up that do not give away the name of the song. Skip instrumentals, but don't skip the embarrassing ones.
3. Make hapless LJ denizens guess the song names and artists. Google is cheating. For musical songs, the name
of the musical is acceptable in place of the artist.
4. Least hapless LJ denizen wins admiration. That's right, just like a lobbyist in budget season, the points don't matter.


1. Live in my house, I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back with 1,000 kisses! guessed right by onabearskinrug: "I'll Cover You" from Rent!

2. Kiss me mother, kiss your darlin'
Lay my head upon your breast
Throw your loving arms around me
I am weary - let me rest. guessed right by annissag: "I Am Weary, Let Me Rest" by the Cox Family!

3. I dream about how it's gonna end
Approaching me quickly
Livin' a life of fear
I only want my mind to be clear guessed right by jessicaqueen: "Suicidal Dream" by Silverchair!

4. Release me
No remnants were ever found of it
Feeling the hot bile
With every fake smile
Though no evidence was ever found
It never went away completely

5. If I needed you so desperately
To come to me and talk to me
To take my heart and hand into your comfort zone
Where I'm not alone

6. Come single belle and beau unto me pay attention
Don't ever fall in love - it's the devil's own invention
Once I fell in love with a lady so bewitching
Miss Henrietta Bell down in Captain Kelly's Kitchen

7. Love that girl! Oh, gee, my oh gee!
Well, oh gee!
Why I love that girl (love that girl!)
Oh please, listen to me - hear my plea!
Why I love that girl (love that girl!)

8. Isn't it enough, isn't it enough
Just to be wild and free?
Caught up in the rough
Caught up in the rush of life starin' at me?

9. Restless tonight, 'cos I wasted the light
Between both these times I drew a really thin line
It's nothing I planned, and not that I can
But you should be mine. I'll cross that line. guessed right by sweet_anise: "One Thing" by Finger Eleven

10. You can put it down lack of patience
Put it down lack of sleep
But it's in my head to stay in bed
Tucked under the sheets

11. If I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
I would buy you a house
(I would buy you a house!) guessed correctly by onabearskinrug: "If I Had A Million Dollars" by Barenaked Ladies!

12. We set sail at half-past morn,
looking for a new tomorrow,
don't know when we're coming home,
so we'll drink, and we'll dance,
and we'll drown our sorrow!

13. Please don't let me argue any more
I won't make you worry like before
Can't remember what we fought about
Late, late last night we said it was over

14. You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life! guessed right by, again, onabearskinrug: Dancing Queen by ABBA!

15. (meep) Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!

16.I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border, got visas in my name guessed right by jessicaqueen: Paper Planes by MIA

17. Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're in chains by your own sorrow
In your eyes, there is no hope for tomorrow guessed right by onabearskinrug: Chiquitita by ABBA!

18. Oh baby, let's get down tonight
ooo...Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin', and
Baaaaaby I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger guessed right by develish1: Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye!

19. In the attics of my life
Full of cloudy dreams, unreal
Full of tastes no tongue can know
And lights no eye can see

20. Truckin', got my chips cashed in
Keep truckin' like a doo-dah man
Together, more or less in line
Just keep truckin' on!

21. Saturday Night
We look alright
We're going out
Boring.
Paris, France
Londontown
NYC
Boring. guessed right by sweet_anise: Boring by the Pierces

22. Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass, they slip away, across the universe guessed right by onabearskinrug: Across the Universe by the Beatles

23. It's not that you're fairer than a lot of girls just as pleasin'
That I doff my hat as a worshipper at your shrine
It's not that you're rarer than asparagus out of season
No, my darling, this is the reason
Why you've got to be mine...

24. I was so high I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
Chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye, she got on a plane
Never to return again, but always in my heart guessed right by onabearskinrug: This Love by Maroon 5!

25. You're way too beautiful, girl!
That's why it'll never work
You'll have me suicidal, suicidal
When you say it's over guessed right by jessicaqueen: Beautiful Girls by Sean Kingston!

26. Saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was lookin' for the place called Lee Ho Fuk's
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein!

27. If I'm lost at sea
Tell my mother, my father, my sister, my brother
My friends and my foes
And all my past lovers that I will miss them so
But, Lord, I had to go

28. What makes you think that it'll all work out in the end.
Afraid to feel bad. Better off to try and pretend.
I'm immortal, immune to all that is wrong.

29. It's not easy having yourself a good time
Greasing up those bets and betters
Watching out they don't four-letter guessed right by onabearskinrug: I Can't Decide by Scissor Sisters. First one to name the DW episode in which this song appears gets...I do'nt know...something. :)

30. Everybody's gonna love today,
Gonna love today, gonna love today!
Everybody's gonna love today
Gonna love today - anyway you want to
And, anyway, you've got to love, love me! guessed right by jessicaqueen: Love Today by Mika!

#2 is "I am Weary (Let Me Rest)" by the Cox Family. That may be cheating as this song appears on my list as well.

All the others I knew have already been guessed. :)

9. One Thing (...Finger Eleven?)
21. Boring (The Pierces)

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

I'm horrible at these - all I recognised was...Hallelujiah Chorus? Tchiakofsky? (I'm horrible at spelling, too)

[jessicaqueen.livejournal.com]

LOL, I'm interested in what this 'something' I might get could be, so: "I Can't Decide" appears in Last of the Time Lords. Still one of the funniest things I've ever seen John Simm do.

*holds hands out for cookies*
