So, anyone know any songs about dysfunctional families or sibling rivalry? :p

Vicki did it, which gives me a reason to do it again

1.) On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first thirty songs on the list that you randomly chose.
2.) Write down one (or two [or] four) lines of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line.
3.) Have your friends comment and see if they know the songs. (NO CHEATING!)
4.) When someone guesses correctly, strike out the line and list the correct name of the song next to it.



1. I gave a letter to the postman
He put it in his sack
Bright and early next morning
He brought my letter back Return to Sender, Elvis Presley (non_horation, ravenclaw_devi

2. But now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong

3. Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet

4. If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks

5. When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows begin to spread
Fancy gloves though has macheath dear
So there’s never, never a trace of red Mack the Knife, Frank Sinatra (sunshine_queen)

6. And now there's twice as much grief,
Twice the strain for us;
Twice the despair,
Twice the pain for us
As we had known before I Loved You Once in Silence, Camelot (sunshine_queen)

7. But I never thought the things in my head
Could really happen in my bed!

8. How could I miss what he meant?
He suddenly seemed less intelligent No Protection, Pansy Division (non_horation)

9. No Sleighbells
No Santa Claus
No Yule Log
No Tinsel Christmas Bells, Rent (mayhemwench)

And saw the yoga light

12. I have hours
Only lonely

13. Sexual transmission which always engrosses
The devious mind but it's only meiosis The Mitosis Waltz, Moxy Fruvous (non_horation)

14. Just don't give into the madness
Or wrap it 'round you so tight
I can comfort a child who's afraid of the dark
I pity the one
Who's afraid of the light Afraid of the Light, Terrence Chua (non_horation)

15. And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore
I don't think that you even know what you're looking for
For my own sanity I've gotta close the door

16. But you have to go there to get milk in a bag
They say "Eh?" instead of "What?" or :Duh" Oh, Canada, Five Iron Frenzy (non_horation)

17. Oh my god she looks like a frog Stick it to Delores, Harry and the Potters (non_horation)

18. Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better Hey Jude, The Beatles (thecleric007, non_horation)

19. It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We’d ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive

teach me to live . . .
give me the strength

But he's the best Dark Arts teacher we've had My Teacher is a Werewolf, Harry and the Potters (non_horation)

24. Our proper, cool First Officer was drugged with something green,
And hauled into an alley, where he suffered things obscene.
He sobered up in Sickbay and he's none the worse for wear,
Except he's somehow taught the bridge computer how to swear.

25. Football players getting tackled
CEOs getting shackled
Seeing actors never reach the ending of their Oscar speech! Schadenfreude, Avenue Q (thecleric007, non_horation)

Except Solo, who's in carbonite Max Reebo Band (mayhemwench)

Too real when I feel what my heart can’t conceal The Great Pretender, The Platters (non_horation)

30. Is that It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fish-men?

9. No room at the Holiday Inn, oh no
And it's beginning to snow

Christmas Bells, RENT - one of the songs I really wish they'd left in the movie. I also think it was silly to have Finale B but not, you know, Finale.

26. Is that the spoof of Piano Man? It was Max Rebo Band, wasn't it?

[yubsie]

Right on both counts. :D

People who make movies out of musicals tend to be silly. Such as the people who made Oklahoma! and left out the best song in the show. And the people who left Now I Have Everything out of Fiddler. :P
