I’m loving these music threads, so here is a game that could get more posts than “The Guy Above You” thread.

Its very simple.  Here’s the rules:

I will start off by posting a set of lyrics from a song of my choice.  Your job is to guess the song (and artist, if possible).  If you get it right, then you post the next lyric, and so on.  We’ll see who can win the most times.

Here’s the first lyric:

-
Candyman teasing the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tortured by the weight loss
Programs cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end, cut, cut
On the fence, could not to offend
Cut, cut, cut, cut
-

Oh, and I’ll give you a hint.  Its probably by my favorite band.  Good luck.

Brad

Great thread, Brad!

The answer is the Dave Matthews Band.

Ah, yes, but can you guess the song?  Its one of their radio singles.

Brad

Sorry.

Remember Two Things

That’s one of their albums, but I’ll give it to you.  The song is “Ants Marching” and it is track one on Remember Two Things and track seven on Under The Table And Dreaming (diff. versions).  Your turn, Mr. Editor.

Brad

Sorry, I was cheating and using Sherlock.  Apparently it’s not foolproof.

That’s OK, I will take my turn!   It’s not really that hard, especially if you know me, but this is one of my all-time favorite songs (We need Eolake to get in here.  He’s a music fiend too.):

Every year is the same, and I feel it again
I’m a loser.  No chance to win.
LEaves start falling, come down is calling
Loneliness starts sinking in.

Yeah, knowing your favourite album did help. It’s I’m One off Quadrophenia by The Who.

Okay, how about:

I tried but I could not find a way
Looking back all I did was look away
Next time is the best we all know
But if there is no next time where to go?
SheÒ‘s the sweetest queen IÒ‘ve ever seen (CPL593H)
See here she comes, see what I mean (CPL593H)
I could talk talk talk, talk myself to death
But I believe I would only waste my breath
Ooh show me

BTW, thanks Bryan for the song…Disc One is now in the player.

I think that will be the great thing about this thread…listening to the songs people really love and want to share. Of course, it would be a little easier with Napster in full force.

Re-Make/Re-Model

How’s that?

Next up…
- Gonna get a set of better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs just so my
irons aren’t always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
that make me think the wrong thing
-

Good luck!

Brad

Barenaked Ladies, the song is One Week.

Here’s one for you. Every good Mac user should remember this…

Hop in my Chrysler, it’s as big as a whale and it’s about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money.

Bang bang bang on the door baby! Knock a little louder baby!
Bang bang bang on the door baby! I can’t hear you
Your what?.... Tin roof, rusted!

Love Shack, B52’s. I feel like riding in a big caddy convertible right now.

BTW, the Re-Make/Re-Model song above, well named by bpsmith is by Roxy Music off their first album (1972).  Great stuff.  Going to see them in Chicago at the end of this month.

Okay, here’s one:

out on tour, the smashing pumpkins
nature kids, they don’t have no function
i don’t understand what they mean
and i could really give a f*ck.
the stone temple pilots,
they’re elegant bachelors
they’re foxy to me are they foxy to you?
i will agree there isn’t absolutely nothing
nothing more than me

Okay…I’ll try to bring this one back to life.

That was Pavement with Range Life off Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain.

Someone else’s wanna spin the wheel?

Here is a layup (I hope).

Well you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking
Racing around to come up from behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Pink Floyd, Dark Side Of The Moon, Time.

What?  I’m old?  Crap!

Because I am both old, and apparently crotchety, I’m going to go a tad more obscure with this. I offer a hint, however, which is Bauhaus.

A gut pull drag on me
Into the chasm gaping we
Mirrors multi reflecting this
between spunk stained sheets and odorous whim
Half an eye, flick, shudder within
Assist me to walk away in sin
Where’s the strong the Theseus laid?
[To] Find me out this labyrinth place!

I get bored, I do get bored!

Bauhaus, In The Flat Field, from the album of the same name. Eggcellent choice, Bryan. (Vincent Price impersonation).

This one’s not too bad…

I’m an alligator
I’m a mama papa coming for you
I’m a space invader
I’ll be a rock ‘n rollin’ bitch for you
Keep your mouth shut
You’re squawking like a pink monkey bird
And I’m busting up my brains for the words

David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust, Moonage Daydream.

One of my fav albums.

Man, we are dating ourselves here, though I would like to say that I am actually about 10 years to young to actually be into that scene. 

OK, off to another of my favorite bands, The Church.  I offer the name of the band, because this is another obscure one.

You’re shivering again
After all that we’ve been through
Is that all you can do?
I didn’t want to come here
Now I don’t want to go
Is there some trick involved in this?
As if you’d tell me so

Everything is going wrong
All my songs are coming true

And another thing
That halo you wear on your head?
I haven’t seen one of those for years
Now where have you been?
