JMH's Lyrics Quiz

[Jedi Master Harrison]

A few people have mentioned about a song lyrics game. In this thread I'd like to quote some lyrics and see who can guess the song and artist. I listen to a wide variety of music, so there should be something for pretty much everyone in here. I might give out different amounts of points depending on how hard I think they should be to get and we'll just keep score for fun. I'll try and put at least 2 sets of lyrics on each day to keep it interesting.

Ready? Good. :cool: Here goes:

"We're free to fly the crimson sky, the sun won't melt our wings tonight."

[Horse_Head]

I'd answer but I cheated. :P

[Jedi Master Harrison]

^ :bop: Well, I thought this would be quite an easy one to start, especially if anyone knows what my favourite band is! Well anyway, I'll leave each quote for up to 24 hours, if no-one gets it then I'll move on and I get the points! :nahnah: Maybe I should do quote lyrics two at a time to give people more chance. :scratchchin:

[sharyntyre]

U2 even better than the real thing

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Well, this has been a rip-roaring success. :doh:

OK, let's try a wide variety of lyrics then. If there isn't something here for everyone then I'll close the thread and crawl back under my rock. :laughing: Title and artist of who performed the following lyrics please:

1. For forty days and for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice

2. When Im tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away

3. I hear your voice, its like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, oh God I think Im falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

4. I've seen em come; I've watched em go,
Watched em rise, witnessed it and watched em blow.
Watched em up high, suddenly watched em grow.
Watched the lawsuits when they lost the dough.
Best friends and money: I lost them both.

5. Dont question why she needs to be so free
Shell tell you its the only way to be
She just cant be chained
To a life where nothings gained
And nothings lost
At such a cost

6. Late night
Come home
Work sucks
I know
She left me roses by the stairs
Surprises let me know she cares

Edit: Shar got the tune from my first post as I was typing, hooray! I'll give you 1 point each for the title and artist and a bonus point for being the first to answer correctly!

Leaderboard:

Sharyntyre: 3

[Solo]

1) Billie Jean - Michael Jackson (while he was still human)

3) Like a Prayer - Madonna

I will leave the rest to others.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Correct Solo! Aha, a nice easy one to start getting this thread underway properly. 2 points sir! And then you sneaked in an edit and got Madonna correct too! Double points and you are our early leader!

Leaderboard:

Solo 4
Sharyntyre 3

[Solo]

^:howdy:

[Kapit]

2: More Than A Feeling -- Boston

5: Ruby Tuesday -- Rolling Stones

6: All the Small Things -- Blink182 (I'm ashamed to know that)

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Ah, the Birthday boy comes from behind to take the lead! All correct! Again, I think all were quite straightforward and so worth a point each, but I'll give you an extra point for admitting to Blink 182. :lol:

So, just no.4 to go for now (I'll put some more up within the next few hours). As a clue, I'm expecting somebody like Shar to get this one.

Leaderboard:

The Beatles: Kapit ~ 7 points
The Stones: Solo ~ 4 points
The Who: Sharyntyre ~ 3 points
The Spice Girls: The rest of the GS ~ 0 points.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

OK, next bunch, starting with the only one outstanding from the last lot. :)

1. I've seen em come; I've watched em go,
Watched em rise, witnessed it and watched em blow.
Watched em up high, suddenly watched em grow.
Watched the lawsuits when they lost the dough.
Best friends and money: I lost them both.

2. Hide in the hiding place where no one ever goes.
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes.

3. Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.

4. I'm tired of giving a reason
When the future is what we believe in
We love the winter, it brings us closer together

5. Oh the things that you say
Is it life or
Just a play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to
remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

6. Oh uh huh make it magnificent
Tonight
Right
Oh your hair is beautiful
Oh tonight

7. So get down on your knees honey
Assume an attitude
You just pray that I'll be waiting
Cos you know I'm coming soon

Oh - and bonus points for whoever guesses the song title and artist of the quote in my signature. :wink:

Edit: The quotes not yet answered (as of my last post in this thread) are bold. Those not have already been guessed.

[Kapit]

Took me WAY too long to figure out this one:

2. Mrs. Robinson -- Simon & Garfunkel

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Correct! Although you missed out on possible bonus points by not saying that The Beatles and The Lemonheads also covered it. :nahnah:

No. 7 should be got by someone who is into 'classic' metal.

[Blizzard]

I know who sings #7, but I have no idea what the song is called.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Well you can get 1 point at least!

[Blizzard]

Okay, #7 Iron Maiden.

I didn't see how rules and points worked.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Ah well, I kinda just make up the points as I go along. :ohwell: It depends on how hard I think they are to get. The one you have got half right is harder than the others, I think. Can't you even guess what it is called? :scratchchin:

[Master_Kinnon]

Can't believe I've missed this thread, gutted! Anyways:

#1 Dr Dre - The Watcher
#4 Manic Street Preachers - Masses Against the Classes (LOVE THIS SONG!)
#7 Iron Maiden - Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter

[Jedi Master Harrison]

:laughing:

[Master_Kinnon]

At least we're both bad Irish boybands :laughing:

[Kapit]

We need more lyrics

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Yes, you do! But thanks to a monster hangover you had to wait! :nahnah:

Also, I'm afraid MK I have to deduct a point off you and give it to Blizzee as she got Iron Maiden first, something I neglected to comprehend when I last posted at 3am! :doh:

1. Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and i went into a dream

2. Everything u do is success
Make the rules
Then break them all cuz u are the best

3. We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.

4. Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.

5. The sun goes down like a bad bad dream
You're wound up tight, gotta let off steam
They say they can break you again and again, if life is a radio, turn it up to ten

6. It started long ago in the Garden of Eden
When Adam said to Eve, baby, you're for me

7. This bloke can't stand to see you black and blue
I give you something sweet each time you
Come inside my jungle book
It's just too good

7. (Damn) Wish I was Your Lover - Sophie B. Hawkins

[Jedi Master Harrison]

I was away this weekend. That put me way back in the scoreboard.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Ok, lunchtime didn't quite happen but here are the next lot:

1. All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms

2. I've been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town

3. You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites

4. Some say
Tomorrow's another day
You stay
I may as well play

5. Don't be shy, we've been here before
Pull your shoes, lie down,
And I will lock the door

6. Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here, I can't quite remember

7. It's 8:15, and that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you're coming home

8. Give me back my heart tonight
I'm sick of never smiling cause you're so uptight
Cause we know its not alright
When neither one of us is putting up a fight

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Yes, but you're always the first to answer and if you get too far ahead no-one else will play! :nahnah: I think we have a similar wide-ranging taste in music too. I think I shall award 1 extra point for no.5 and 2 for no.8, they're harder, IMO.

[Sargoth]

Can't believe I've missed this thread, gutted! Anyways:

#7 Iron Maiden - Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter


I dispute this one. :) It was originally recorded by Bruce Dickenson's solo band for one of the Nightmare on Elm St. soundtracks. Maiden re-recorded it and released it as a single off of No Prayer for the Dying about a year later.

[Sargoth]

6. Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here, I can't quite remember

Guns -n- F%$&ing Roses: Paradise City

[Jedi Master Harrison]

^^ :lol: I'm never gonna get everything right in this thread! I don't even like Iron Maiden, I was just trying to pick music from all genres so as to include as many Senators as possible! I tell you what, I'll give you a bonus point for knowing the origins of that song. :wink:

^ Correct! 2 points.

Ok then, new lyrics:

1. The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal are mine to see on clear days
You thought that I would need a crystal ball to see right through the haze

2. And when the money comes in for the work I'll do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you

3. Could fill spoons full of water,
Save them from the desert sands.
But a little spoon of your forty-five
Saved you from another man.

4. it wasn't me she was foolin'
cause she new what she was doin

5. hey fellas and the people that don't give a funk, all the lovers,
all the haters and all the people that call themselves play-ers hot mamas

6. Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging

7. When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home

8. So we started to dance
In my arms, she felt so inviting
That I just couldn't resist
Just one little kiss so exciting

[Master_Kinnon]

Lol nah no googling for me, there are some I have struggled on though! Like this new lot!

[Blizzard]

Wow, I have no clue. Pretty soon I am going to be left in the dust and called Milli Vanilli!

[Sargoth]

#4: Aerosmith - Walk this Way

[Jedi Master Harrison]

^ Correct, I won't mind that you didn't mention Run DMC too. :wink:

Ah good, these ones are harder and will make people think! If we're struggling I'll put some clues up at some point tomorrow. 3 of them are very hard IMO. The rest are easily gettable, but I have chosen the least prominent lyrics and kept them short!

[Kapit]

1: I Can See For Miles -- The Who

2: I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) -- The Proclaimers (I remember a lot of my friends loving this song when we were younger. Dunno why)

3: Spoonful -- Willie Dixon (Though I know the Cream version)

8: Come A Little Bit Closer -- Jay and the Americans

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Wow, I have no clue. Pretty soon I am going to be left in the dust and called Milli Vanilli!

Just keep trying, I'm sure there'll be plenty you can get as we continue on! :)

Good work Kapit, some more difficult spots you've made. Yeah, I was thinking of the Cream version of Spoonful, but I googled it and you are correct it was written by Willie Dixon - 4 points for that. I'm disappointed Flo didn't make it here and get 500 miles, that would have made me laugh, a classic stereotype of Scotland! 2 points for that and The Who, plus 3 for Jay & The Americans, although you did miss out on a further bonus point as I actually prefer the Roy Orbison cover. :wink:

Elvis: MK ~ 23 points
Michael Jackson: Flo ~ 20 points
Roy Orbison: Kapit ~ 20 points
Phil Collins: Zach ~ 6 points
Paul Young: Sargoth ~ 5 points

James Blunt: Blizzee ~ 1 point

[Kapit]

...plus 3 for Jay & The Americans, although you did miss out on a further bonus point as I actually prefer the Roy Orbison cover. :wink:


Well of course Roy Orbison is better, but I was shootin for originals, so :nahnah:

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Wow, seems I have stumped a few people! :) Rather than give out more lyrics that will give them away, how about some clues.

For number 5 the artist consists of 2 words. The first is what Emp is when he's around women (:nahnah:) and the second is something you eat.

Number 6 is again food related - something you might put in a dish to spice it up. A sunny place may also be involved.

Number 7 is really easy and I'm surprised no-one has got it. This 80's artist wasn't in hell with this track.

5. hey fellas and the people that don't give a funk, all the lovers,
all the haters and all the people that call themselves play-ers hot mamas

6. Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging

7. When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home

[Sarah-Leia]

6 - Red Hot Chili Peppers?

[Jedi Master Harrison]

That'll get you 1 point - and the track is?

[Sarah-Leia]

Um...ah...I don't know, Andy, cow, hey, we saw lots of cows yesterday and the day before...

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Well, that is nice Sarah, but you're still only getting 1 point! :nahnah:

James Blunt: Blizzee ~ 1 point
Gary Barlow: Sarah ~ 1 point

[Sarah-Leia]

Ha, you think you're funny, don't you, Andy? Well, you make me laugh because you're NOT funny!

I demand 2 points.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Sue me. :tease: You can have 2 points when you name the song. I've almost given it away saying that it is also something to do with somewhere where it is often sunny!

[Kapit]

THAT'S what that is. I thought it was somewhat familiar

6: Californication -- Red Hot Chili Peppers

[Jedi Master Harrison]

^ Yup, 1 point as Sarah already got the group.

Ok, more lyrics for the remaining 2 outstanding. I'm sure these will be given away now and you'll certainly kick yourselves over number 7!

5. Hey ladies Hey fellas
And the people that don't give a funk
All the lovers all the haters
And all the people that call themselves playas
Hot mammas, pimp daddies
And the people rollin' in the Caddies
Hey rockers, hip-hoppers
And everybody all around the world

7. When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When Im lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me
In this world were just beginning
To understand the miracle of living

#5 Limp Bizkit - Rollin'

I kept wanting to say it was Kid Rock. :)

[Jedi Master Harrison]

^ A-Ha is incorrect I'm afraid, that's another band. -10 points. :rofl: I'm so not funny.

Yup, got there in the end! Only 1 point though as clue-aided. Ok, someone get that last one. I won't have a chance to put up new lyrics until tomorrow night................

[Jedi Master Harrison]

You have all failed me for the last time. :vader:

The outstanding track is obviously (:nahnah:) Heaven is a Place on Earth by Belinda Carlisle. Did no-one else live through the 80's?! :doh:

Ok, so some new lyrics needed then:

1. Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just gonna let it fly

2. Make me feel, make me feel
Like I belong
Don't leave me, you won't leave me here
All Alone
Cast your eyes
Like summer skies
Blue earth and the ocean
Clearer than the skies

3. Everybody needs a place to rest
Everybody wants to have a home
Dont make no difference what nobody says
Aint nobody like to be alone

4. Let's play Twister, let's play Risk.
See you in heaven if you make the list.

5. They never get tired of putting me down
And I'll never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind.

6. Politician grannie with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels ?
So without love and a promise land
Were fools to the rules of a goverment plan
Kick out the style ! bring back the jam !

7. Maybe I will never be
All the things that I want to be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why

8. Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Correct. "Maybe I don't really wanna know" though. :lol: Definitely Maybe was the name of the album. Leaderboard updated. I hope you enjoy having the rest of the Senate under you. :laughing:

[Sargoth]

I hope you enjoy having the rest of the Senate under you.

No complaints here!

[flo fett]

:laughing:

[Jedi Master Harrison]

OK, well there's still 4 sets of lyrics up there to guess, I'm afraid I'm away on business for the next week, so will have little if any internet time. I hope to be back to form with this next weekend, but then it is not quite the raging success I hoped it would be anyway! :laughing:

[Kapit]

You've got a gang of loyal followers. That's all that matters

[Kommandant Felix]

I'm just musically retarded. :lol:

Otherwise, I would be posting here a lot.

[sharyntyre]

I got lucky with the opening post, I'd just listened to a bunch of U2 the night before. I'm much better at recognizing the tune than lyrics, but this is a cool thread.


Dusty Springfield: Sharyntyre ~ 3 points

:(

that's just shameful for someone who listens to as much music as I do, day in and day out.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

OK, it seems like we need some clues:

1. A mainly female group. The drummer's not too hot though! :laughing:

2. A female vocalist, 1 hit wonder (maybe not in the US, not sure), weather related title.

3. "I need some food for a bodypart", said the guy who was not an employee. Either that is cunningly cryptic, or it's just rubbish! :lol:

5. Tarantino soundtrack related.

[sharyntyre]

1. Cansei De Ser Sexy- no title ideas at all

:giveup:

[sharyntyre]

A good point to the Radio, songs NOT in my collection....

3. Springsteen- hungery heart

[Jedi Master Harrison]

^^ Incorrect, I've never even heard of that group!

^ Correct, my clue was obviously genius! :laughing:

^^ I hope nothing 'popped out' whilst bopping! :laughing:

You are correct Blizzee. As you were honest enough to say you looked it up and no-one else has got it, I'll give you both points. :)

I'm just gonna give the answers to the other 2 now, you've all had long enough. :whip: Number 1 is The Coors ~ What Can I Do To Make You Love Me, number 2 was Zoe ~ Sunshine On a Rainy Day.

Ok, so you still have to wait until Friday for more lyrics now though. Sorry! :ohwell:

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Ok, well I'm not gonna be around too much for the next week, so we're gonna change the rules slightly - and it will make it better anyway.

From now on, you can only answer 1 set of lyrics at a time.

So, for example, Shar can have 1 guess at a set of lyrics but then has to wait for, say, Flo, to have a guess before he can have his next guess. So that'll give more people a chance to get some right as those who are online when I first put them up used to have an advantage. To help you decide which one to guess first (if you know more than one!), I'll tell you what points I'll award in brackets after the quote.

12. MC Hammer- Can't touch this.


my hip hop buddys give me a hard time for liking Hammer and Will Smith, no street cred, they say.

7. ZZTop- Gimme all your lovin

[Kommandant Felix]

Wow...you people are good.

I mostly listen to music without lyrics (ie classical and jazz), which makes me rather useless here. I still try, and fail miserably.

Hey...why don't you post the musical notes and then maybe I'll be able to compete :P

[Sargoth]

Sargoth sez: More Metal!! :viking: :rockon:

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Well, the new 'only 1 answer per person' at a time didn't seem to work, did it? :laughing: But as I wasn't around to regularly update it, I'll allow them, but only 1 guess at a time and then wait for someone else to guess from now on!

All 4 answers from Solo and Shar are correct, but that still leaves a few lyrics so I'll add a bit more to them (or maybe a clue) and perhaps that will allow people to guess.

Solo, everyone with musical taste knows the effect that the Velvet Underground has had on future rock/pop artists. Sweet Jane is an absolute classic and anyone who is not familiar with it should listen to it! Shar, Hammer may be cheesey, but it's still classic! KF, sorry mate, I'm not that talented! Sargoth, you may struggle a bit to find too much metal in here, that is one genre that I'm not too big on, but I'll see what I can dig out for you.


2. All alone
But I'm in a crowded room
I'm sinking, in quick sand tonight
You pick me up, And I shine across the sky till morning,
Then you colour me in
Guess it won't amount to much
Seems to me I've lost my touch
I'm back in line

Don't believe a thing they say today
Turn around and walk away
Everything will go your way, I pray
Seems we all get lost amongst (5 pts)

By an Australian.

4. Promises, promises turn to dust
Wedding bells just turn to rust
Trust into mistrust
I need a little room
To find myself
I need a little space
To work it out
I need a little room
All alone (2 pts)

It's grim up north.

8. You`ve got a little
Way to go before you
Find the knowledge that you`re
Searching for so you`ll
Turn the big world
Upside down
To find the things that you
Never wanted
I see a
Pale girl in a
Blue room with a
Pink dress and a
Wide smile I need a
Pink smile on a
Dark night from the
Right girl to be
Sure it`s right (4pts)

A sad member of the clergy

10. It's Just A Feeling
You Have To Soothe It
You Can't Neglect It

Eyes bloodshot, stressin, chills up your spine
Huh, sick to your stomach wishing I wrote your rhymes (3 pts)

Ebony and ivory, females.


14. She stripped to the beat
But her clothes stay on
White light everywhere
But you can't see a thing
Such a squeeze

Save you from your misery
Like rain across the land
Don't you see
The colour of deception
Turning your world around again (3 pts)

The lead singer committed the act of part of the title of this song.

Ah, well, Enter Sandman is one of the few Metallica tracks I like, hence I picked it - and I couldn't name one Megadeath song so I just googled it - it could have just as easily been a rare B side. :ohwell:

2. House of Pain - Jump Around

That was the tune me and all the guys used to go nuts to when we were about 18, happy times! :rockon: In fact, I'm gonna give you a bonus point for that one, just cos I'm in a good mood and it has brought back good memories!

Now, c'mon people, still quite a few more to go - I expected them to be all done by the time I came back. Where's MK and Flo when you need them?

17 Cindy Lauper, Girls Just Want to Have Fun

[Sargoth]

^ Doh!!! :pinch:

[sharyntyre]

^ hehehe, I know, I kept looking at those lyrics going I know that song, and then when he posted the hints it hit me in the head like a brick. I ended up with that silly diddy stuck in my head for hours last night.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Correct! I thought that was a pretty obvious one! I'll add in some more lyrics for the rest of the outstanding tunes and give it a couple more days before moving on. I'm certain some of these are 'gettable'! :)

3. The saddest thing I’ve ever seen on my tv screen
Was a dying man who died for his dream
Toughest thing I’ve ever heard
Was that new-born scream in this naked world
People say I’m so automatic
People say I’m not so systematic
When I’m down I’m in manual, lord
And time on time again I walk on by
With the look of love
(3 pts)

Well, well, well.

4. Got some friends rollin’ wit you baby then thats cool
You can leave em with my homies let em know that I got you
If you didn’t know, you’re the only thing that’s on my mind
Cuz the way you staring miss you got me wantin to give it to you all night
Lookin' in your eyes while you walk the other side
I can't take it no more, baby I'm commin for you
You keep doin' it on purpose winding and working it.
If we close our eyes it could be just me and you. (3 pts)

Current chart hit (well in the UK anyway), male artist

5. Well you can turns the lights down low
Somethings are better that way
And you can tell me all your stories
But please spare me the plays
Cos you don’t have to say you love me
And you don’t have to save any tears
No you don’t have to say you love me
Baby it’s alright (3 pts)

An 80's classic! Denim and blonde.

7. Well, I've never prayed,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold , I am here with my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no (2 pts)

One of my all time fave songs, I believe the song was actually penned by the Rolling Stones.

11. I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
-------------------------------
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed (2 pts)

Scandanavian

12. High on diesel and gasoline, psycho for drum machine
Shaking their bits to the hits,
Drag acts, drug acts, suicides, in your dads suits you hide
Staining his name again
Cracked up, stacked up, 22, psycho for sex and glue
lost it to Bostik, yeah,
Shaved heads, rave heads, on the pill, got too much time to kill
get into bands and gangs (3 pts)

Brit pop

13. Somethin' - filled up - my heart - with nothin' - someone - told me not to cry.
But now that I'm older,
my heart's colder,
and I can see that it's a lie.
children - wake up - hold your - mistake up - before they - turn the
summer into dust. - if the children - don't grow up - our bodies get
bigger. but - our hearts get torn up - we're just - a million little
gods causing rain storms - turning every good thing to rust. - i guess
we'll just have to adjust. (2 pts)

If I was asleep I would need to.........

14. You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're something else
Where you are and
Where you sat, you see
You're making me
Laugh out
When you strike a pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know
You're not fooling anyone
When you become
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
Watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
Tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool
To me
Tell me (2 pts)

You wanted metal. :laughing: This is about as soft rock as you can get from a female artist.

18. Let the rhythm go ride
you got it?
You sneak inside
you search your mind to
move to ease pulsation
raise vibration
sensation.
War!
is not inflation
mind and body
you must be free to.
Please
take it on with nothing to lose
ev'rything to win!
Money controls you
holds you
rolls you
you're not too old to new
taste it
free yer soul
let rhythm embrace ya
gotta be what you wanna
if the gook don't get ya
the rifle's gonna.
I'm serious as cancer
when I say........... (2 pts)

Classic dance song, the rap element.

20. Looked through the paper.
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking
That it’s either black or white.
Thank God it's not that simple..........
--------------------------------------
I bite my lip.
I buy what I’m told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I’m always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it’s crowded and cold (3 pts)

It's not out in the open.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

New lyrics:

1. It flies sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your Zodiac sign
It flies out of a dream
It's anti-septically clean

2. If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

3. I never really gave up on
Breakin' out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around

[Snake_Judge]

1 Is Silver Machine by Box of Birds (or Hawkwind)

2. Everybody hurts by Corrs

3 Read my mind by The Killers

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Nice one Snake! Although perhaps I should just remind eveyone that you are only allowed to guess 1 lyric at a time and then wait for someone else to have a guess, to give everyone a chance. But since you are new to this game, I'll give you 6 points and a head start over everyone else! :rockon:

Silver Machine - I was thinking of the Hawkwind (I think that was the original?) version. I'll give you The Corrs as they did do a cover of the REM classic, although I'm not sure if it was commercially released.

More lyrics - Snake, you can't guess one until someone else has. :wink:

1. Come closer
Baby closer
Reach out and feel my body
I'm gonna give you all my love
Ooh sugar don't you hurry
You've got me here all night
Just close your eyes and hold on tight

2. He's got morning glory, life's a different story
Everything going jackanory, in touch with his own mortality
He's reading balzac, knocking back prozac
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
Oh it's the centuries remedy
For the faint at heart, a new start

3. To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
Dance go rush to the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom

No worries mate, but you gotta wait until someone else guesses now! So if I were you I'd hide that guess quick before someone else steals it! :)

[Snake_Judge]

what guess?

[Talcy]

Vanilla Ice - Ice, Ice Baby.

God help me. It was the first line of the last verse I recognised.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

what guess?

LOL, quick Snake, guess again now!

Vanilla Ice - Ice, Ice Baby.

God help me. It was the first line of the last verse I recognised.

Ha ha! I might actually give you minus points for getting that one mate! Correct!

I hope you washed your hands and keyboard after typing that filth. :nono:

[sharyntyre]

ya know, much to my own disgust, I find my self bopping to that tune when it comes on the radio. and he is from Miami...something about that beat, thank Queen for that, though Ice will still swear it's not ripped off from "under pressure"

[Jedi Master Harrison]

I hope you washed your hands and keyboard after typing that filth. :nono:

Actually, I copied and pasted it, from a website called 'Sargoth's all-time favourite tracks'. :nahnah:

Yeah, I dunno how he can still claim that wasn't ripped off! What a :donut:

Anyway, 1 remaining track:

1. Come closer
Baby closer
Reach out and feel my body
I'm gonna give you all my love
Ooh sugar don't you hurry
You've got me here all night
Just close your eyes and hold on tight

1. - "Red Light Special" by TLC

I'm afraid not, dear sir.

1. That's the way love goes ~ Janet Jackson

Correct. You're on fire Snake! :rockon: Just remember someone else has to have a guess next before you can clean up again! :laughing:

New lyrics:

1. Now he hurt you and you hurt me
and that wasn't the way it was supposed to be
so baby tonight let's leave the world behind

2. What I need from you is not available in stores
Seen a side of you that I really feel
Doing way too much, never keep it real
If it doesn't change, gotta hit the road

3. It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breakin'

considering they played this song every day on every radio station back in 200X, unfortunately i had the privilege of memorizing the lyrics as well.

Excellent - more fresh blood for the game. :) You are of course correct in the guess and that it was over played on the radio!

[Jedi Master Harrison]

2. Love don't Cost a thing ~ Jennifer Lopez Correct. You know your music buddy!

poot! if only i had found this thread earlier, i would be at the top of the leaderboard!

There is still plenty of time for you to catch up!

As for the chain letters game, well, you just need to keep going and going and when the letters fall right you'll get a massive score as I did. Anyway, you are the only player I consider as competition. :wink: (That's just a tease to everyone else, not being big headed!)

Ok, next lot of tracks:

1. To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is

2. We've all got our
Own funny moods
I've got mine,
Woman you've got yours too

3. Strong words
In a ganges sky
I have to lie
Shadows move in Paris
Ring out from a bruised postcard
In the shooting yard

4. I can remember when I caught up
With a pastime intimate friend.
She said, "bet you’re probably gonna say I look lovely,
But you probably don’t think nothin’ of me."
She was right, though, I can’t lie.

5. Baby
I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please, don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues

Not quite....................you can have 1 more guess at that.

[Snake_Judge]

Eh you miss every now and then, I'll let some one else take it

[Solo]

I thought we were allowed make as many guesses as we could. Anyway, I learnt my lesson. One guess on every contest. Fine, I can live with it.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

You can have as many guesses as you like in one contest in total BUT after you have guessed one answer then you have to wait until someone else guesses before giving another answer.

I just did that to stop it being unfair. For example, if I post at 11pm here, but you are already in bed, it would be unfair if Snake (for example) guessed all 5 in a row and you didn't get a chance to play. :)

[Jedi Master Harrison]

:lol: :bop: Maybe there are some similar lyrics in there. This song was a big hit in the 80's.

[Zach30019]

Since its been awhile and nobody else has guessed, can i break the rules and make another pathetic attempted to guess a song?

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Yeah, go for it! I'm gonna be 'AFK' for a few days, so forgive me if I don't answer you right away!
