On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favourite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.
...That is to say, the first twenty minus instrumentals, Korean, Arabic and anything else impossible for me to transcribe or google, Japanese in romaji, Chinese translated because my pinyin suxx0rz, yes I listen to a lot of non-English music you've noticed? Also minus anything blatantly self-defeating, i.e. songs that not only I wouldn't be able to identify either, but I'd have to make fun of you if you could.** (There were a surprising number of these.)

- And what shall she do with Thursday's rags, when Monday comes around?
- What fascinates you so? Why am I lying low? Do you like her from top to toe? You chose her like I chose you before, before
- Kitai kakeru koto to negai kakeru koto wa niteru you de marude chigau mono
- Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty, sound of their breath fades with the light
- Rua Nascimento Silva, 107; você ensinando prá Elizete as canções de canção do amor de mais
- Que si me muero sea de amor, y si me enamoro sea de vos, y que de tu voz sea este corazón
- Dar lat a mueha vatky arch sadadie gunner aiya e undu et suinan lo nur lyela un sorlai
- Arittake no hana de kazatte, soshite kuzureochite; nando demo, tadashiku nado nakutemo
- And maybe anger is your only choice, but maybe heart and fist and human voice might be the better way
- Watashi no kawaii ningyou, kirei na obi wo agemashou, akane no sango kazatta, utsukushii obi yo
- Like a cappuccino creamer, amai kaori ni sasowarete, "fura" tsuitetara - without notice I came to wonderland!
- A nightmare of you, of death in the pool; I see no further now than this dream
- And I'm not to look at you in the shoe, but the eyes, fight the eyes
- You kiss me, I'm falling; it’s your name I'm calling; you touch me, I want you; feels like I've always known you
- And looking out to a different sky will disengage me; absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade
- Trying to leave the territory that you control, I walk into a battle you arranged; I don't have a solid defense, nor a path of retreat
- Aquamarine, you're my sexy little daydream, deep blue, shadow green
- And maybe one day you can visit my condo, on a big hill you know, like nine oh two one oh
- You say the magic's gone, well i'm not a magician; you say the spark's gone, well get an electrician
- Don't forget what I wrote you then; and don't forget what I told you then; and don't forget I that meant to win; and don't forget your Ventolin

...Dang. And I did so well with Beru-chan's list.

Date: 2004-04-29 08:00 pm (UTC)4.) "Under the Milky Way." The Church originally, though i suspect there are many many covers by now...
13.) "The Dark of the Matinee." Franz Ferdinand.
8.) "Madame Hollywood." Felix da Housecat feat. Miss Kittin
20.) "Hammering in my Head." Garbage. (quite possibly one of my favourite songs of theirs, and definitely my favourite on that album. plus, yanno, the superg33k factor of it for anyone who at one time really wanted to be an audio engineer. so many tracks of goodness going on at once, and trying to pick everything out...*.*;;;)

Date: 2004-04-29 08:17 pm (UTC)Ooo, HIMH is one of my fave Garbage songs as well. Glad to see someone else who appreciates it, buried as it is on the album.

Dinner tomorrow is okay, I guess
Date: 2004-04-29 08:59 pm (UTC)Oh, yes I do. I think I'll transcribe the lyrics to the Mario Theme, unless you tell me you have a CD booklet or something.
Re: Dinner tomorrow is okay, I guess
Date: 2004-04-29 09:12 pm (UTC)Dinner tomorrow. Meet me at Taskforce sometime before 7 PM. I'll try to squeeze you on the reservation list. The food looks fabulous, and they say we can visit the kitchen because it's "on the menu". :D
