This won't be entirely random, more like, I'm just gonna pick 20 songs from stuff currently residing on my hard drive. The last time I did it truly random, shit ended up in there from bands like Le Shok or Primate 5 which I wouldn't get if they appeared in someone else's entry. These things should be solveable anyway, or what's the fun in it? I think 4, 5 (although I included only one line to make it tougher), and 12 are bunnies the rest of them depend on where your genre allegiances lie. At the very least, I'm sure someone on my f-list has heard of each artist (save possibly one). So here's lyrics from twenty songs lying on my laptop.
Googling = cheating. Have fun.
Junior-high love affair is O.K.
Jump on the big wagon 'cos I'm So Cal
I'm big in every way
I was conceived and I was born
I once was lost but now I'm found
Tell your bunch I'm boss I'm run this town
I leave all suckers in the dust
Those dumb mother fuckers can't mess with us
Bama lam the damn thing's gone blind
4. Well I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kickin' and a-gougin' in the mud and the blood and the beer
6. I'm so old, you're so young
I know! You know! Everybody, everyone let's go!
Oh baby baby you're so sweet!
Oh goddamn I.. I. oh.. Wooo!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Look at these - my ruby-red ruby lips
8. If you're alone and you got the shakes
So do I, baby and I got what it takes
And I twisted the speedometer off the end
My foot glued like lead to the floor
That's all there is, there ain't no more
10. Shari was a waitress at the only joint in town
She had a reputation as a girl who'd been around
On Main Street afer midnight, a brand new pack of cigs
A fresh one hangin' from her lips, a beer between her legs
It makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
And I'm taking myself to the dirty part of town
Where all my troubles can be found
Choice is yours; don't be late.
13. Yo, when I'm fishin'... let's keep one thing clear
The bait's over there. The brew's right here.
Two six packs and a big bag of ice
Didn't even catch a bite, but the brew tasted nice.
Back to the bar - strawberry daiquiris and them coladas
I need a whole lotta them fruit drinks to get me a buzz
I must tell ya I'm the Kool-Aid kid
When you serve my drink please stick it in the fridge.
14. You don't know me but you don't like me
You say you could care less how I feel
15. A smut villain, chillin' like Gilligan out on an island
Fishin' with my string and bamboo - caught somethin' in a see-through nighty
Might be a little tasty... a 300 pound white girl
No one to see this... boom, I drop my fluid like a chemist
16. Heybah heybah, hobah hoobah habah
Heybah heybah, hobah hoobah habah
Heybah heybah heebah habah hobah hoobah habah
Heybah heybah, hobah hoobah habah
(I will offer my oral services to anyone other than
mybluenotepad who gets this one)17. I had a canary that couldn't sing
I had cat that let me share my pad with her
I bought a dog that killed the cat that ate the canary
What is truth?
18. Apologize that I acted foolishly
Increasingly desperate pleas for your return
Sorrow for my infidelity
The vain hope that my sins are forgiveable
Appeals for one more opportunity
Drop to my knees to illicit a crowd response
Modulation and I hold a high nooooooooooooooooooooooote!
19. I know what I want tonight and I see it comin' up the street
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm only seventeen.
20. If I was a preacher, I tell you what
I'd save a million souls... Even you
If I was a miner, I tell you what
I'd be a DAMN good one.
11. Jesus & Mary Chain - Head on (also covered by Pixies)
12. Nirvana - Come As You Are

maybe that should be a fun meme for the REAL music geeks... taking very OBVIOUS songs (and one of the more obvious parts from them) and truncating lines down to the point that they are incredibly hard to figure out... they would have to still be a certain order of words that are specific to that song, but out of context with no melody, music, or a complete thought of lyric...
"less dangerous. Here"
"mother, she's never satisfied. Why do we scream"
"her knees. There were three"
"in my hair. Warm smell"
"man's town. The first"
wow... it was hard just thinking of these to make them... ;-)

"School-girl sleazy with a classy kinda sassy little skirt climbin' way up her knees/There were three young ladies in the school gym locker when I noticed they were lookin' at me"
maybe on one of these mind-numbing rides while my new guy is doing all the driving all make up a nice long one just for shits and giggles
Re: gonna wash that man right outta my hair
These are hard.
2. I don't have any idea what the name of it is but I THINK it's Run DMC.
3. That's an easy one. :) Isn't that on a commercial now?
5.That's hard. But I am almost sure that I know. At least I can remember lyrics that go with it. "pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name.. something, something, something ... the nature of my game (I am REALLY not 100% on this) Gah! That's hard. But I vaguely remember that going something like "let me please introduce myself.. I'm a man of wealth and taste.." something something and a bunch more somethings "use all your well learned politics.." I will think of it before the end of the day. Just give me time.
12. That's was an easy one too. :)
Re: These are hard.
2. Yes.... "Hit It Run"
3. I don't know if it's in a commerical or not, but it was featured rather prominently in the film Blow
5. Take all the time you need - you're on the right track.
12. Yeah, too easy.
i have no idea who sings it orignally but Hootie and the Blowfish do an awesome cover of it along with a Public Enemy song, Three is a magic number from school house rock, and some other cool songs, but anyway it is in the song "Love the one You're with" live from Hootie and the Blowfish...
