Tessie's favourite meme! :p

[yubsie]

It's been a while since I've inflicted a lyric meme on you guys! New posting justified by luciouspandora. :p

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s)* from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly (No lyric hunting! That is cheating!)

I was nice and skipped: "Look Down" from Les Mis... in Japanese, "Juicia Ante Pilatos" from Jesucristo Superstar, "C'est Pour Demain" from Les Miserables in French, the overture of Jesus Christ Superstar (did you really want to guess Daaaaaaaananananaaaaaaaaaaaaah? :p), "Bring Him Home" from Japanese Les Mis

I knew some Canadian named Katie would get that one. :p

[akeyoftime.livejournal.com]

I never get these, so it's really kind of exciting :P

[yubsie]

I never get people who aren't Tess's. Apparently my musical tastes are different. :p

But yeah, I figured it would be you or neekabe would get that Moxy Fruvous. :p

[akeyoftime.livejournal.com]

I know I know 28 but the title isn't coming to me. :(

[yubsie]

Yep on 27. :D

And I should HOPE you know 28. :p

[ardnaid.livejournal.com]

Is it Avenue Q - At The North Pole Global Warming Surfin' Party? :(

[yubsie]

Yes, yes it is. Which I got from you. :p

[ardnaid.livejournal.com]

Aha, that was my first thought, but then I started second guessing myself and I thought it might be a Weird Al one. Shame on my brain for not working right today.

[dramedy.livejournal.com]

18 - Jamiroquai - Deeper Underground?

[yubsie]

Correctamundo!

[amatyultare.livejournal.com]

15. Bowling Song (Almighty Malachi, Professional Bowling God) <--Love that song.

[amatyultare.livejournal.com]

(By Stephen Lynch, of course)

[yubsie]

YES! I didn't think anyone would get it!

[gabri-jade.livejournal.com]

#10 - Out There, from The Hunchback of Notre Dame soundtrack.

Also, your music is on crack. But good crack. :p

[yubsie]

Right movie, but that's not the title. :p

I heart my crack. :p

[gabri-jade.livejournal.com]

Rats! Well, the only other title I remember from the movie is God Help the Outcasts, and I know it's not that. :p

It's fun crack. Kind of bewildering at times, but fun. :p

[yubsie]

Yeah, not so much. :p Mi got it, it's Heaven's Light/Hellfire :p

The bewilderment is half the fun!

[bouncyflea.livejournal.com]

3. Tori Amos - Cornflake Girl

29. 30 Seconds to Mars - The Kill

:)

[yubsie]

Yes and yes. People are actually GETTING STUFF this time!

[miana-dude.livejournal.com]

is 7 This Used to be my Playground by Madonna?

10. Heaven's Light/Hell Fires from Hunchback of Notre Dame

and 11... fuck, it's one of our house cup songs.

[yubsie]

Yes and yes. :p

And 11 is indeed a house cup song. Silly. :p

[neekabe.livejournal.com]

4 9 23 make me think of the star wars musical ^_~

19 is VAST Land of Shame
30 is Garnetts homemade Beer

[yubsie]

*Gasp* 9 isn't even the right FANDOM! :p

4 and 23 aren't the musical, but are obviously SW filk. :p

And you got 19 and 30 right :p

[neekabe.livejournal.com]

Yeah, those were guesses based piurely off of content ^_~

I was hoping 30 was Garnett's HOmemade Beer. Haven't heard the song in years but if there was another song with that rhythem I was going to have to explode ^_~

[yubsie]

Content definitely makes fandom obvious.:p

Really, how many songs can there be about wishing you hadn't drunk it now. :p

[barbiejedi.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking that 4, 9, and 23 come from the Star Wars Musical but don't have the foggiest idea which song.

12 is Don't Fear the Reaper a.k.a. The Cowbell Song That Didn't Actually Use Cowbell by The Blue Oyster Cult.

[yubsie]

4 and 23 are SW filk but not from the musical, 9 isn't even SW. :p

12... FINALLY! Why did it TAKE so long for someone to GET that one? Believe it or not, it was actually even the Blue Oyster Cult version! :p

[barbiejedi.livejournal.com]

I only got it because I just finished rereading The Hogfather and only now got the joke about the motto on Susan's family crest. XD



(I tried cheating and googling 9 but it just gave me your entry. So I can't even look up the fandom. :P)

[yubsie]

That song got me banned from the CD player. Specifically, the Prozak for Lovers version with PLINGIES. Sandman!Death requires plingies. :p I'm amused that it was actually Blue Oyster Cult though, considering I have, I kid you not, ELEVEN VERSIONS. :p

(Mwahaha! My music, it is obscure! This means I'm justified in ticking "Music no one else listens to, EVER" on the geek test. :p)

[seryan.livejournal.com]

Quote:

12. All our times have come

Don't Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult / Oingo Boingo

[seryan.livejournal.com]

Oh, someone got it. Teach me not to look through the comments. :P

[yubsie]

I just like people GETTTING the blasted thing, it TOOK long enough. :p

[seryan.livejournal.com]

I sent you the Oingo Boingo cover of this, did I not?

[yubsie]

Yes, yes you did. It was a nice addition to the collection. :p

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

11 is Mi Will Do It! by Ravenclaw House's procrastinators.

23 is Princess Leia Be Our Guest... which is filk. By someone.

[yubsie]

Yes and as close as anyone is going to get (aka guessing artists is lame :p)
