Weezer - Keep Fishin' (even better video than Buddy Holly)

 

I am, I am, I am,

I said I wanna get next to you

I said I wanna get close to you

You wouldn't want me have to hurt you too?

Hurt you too?

 

I ain't, I ain't, I ain't,

Buying into your apathy

I'm gonna learn you my philosophy

You wanna hear about atrocity

Atrocity

That last one was The new White Stripes radio song, the super catchy Seven Nation Army. OK, how about...

 

I like pleasure spiked with pain and music is my aeroplane

It's my aer-o-plane.

Somber sweet and sour jane and music is my aeroplane

It's my aer-o-plane.

That was Glassjaw - Everything you Ever Wanted To Know About Silence.

 

Hmm easier

 

Battalions of riot police with rubber bullet kisses,

baton curtosy,

service with a smile

That's Deer Dance, by System Of A Down.

 

Easy (for me), but we are trying to stick to mainstream songs and radio singles. The radio has never played Deer Dance because it wasn't a single, so it shouldn't be part of the game (see the rules, first page).

 

Possible one of the greatest ways anyone has ever started an album:

 

Dearly beloved

We are gathered here today to get through this thing called 'life'

Electric word, 'life', it means forever and that's a mighty long time

But I'm here to tell you, there's somethin' else...

...The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness

You can always see the sun, day or night

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills

You know the one, Dr. Everything'll Be Alright

Instead of asking him how much of your time is left

Ask him how much of your mind, baby

Cuz in this life, things are much harder than in the afterworld

In this life, you're on your own

And if the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy

Punch a higher floor!

OK, that was Let's Go Crazy by Prince. I'm disappointed no one got that one. Let's try this grunge classic:

 

Show me the power child

I’d like to say

That I’m down on my knees today

It gives me the butterflies

Gives me away

Till I’m up on my feet again

OK, that last one was Outshined by Soundgarden, easily the best song off 1991's Badmotorfinger, and arguable, Soundgarden's best song. It's really sad no one knows it.

 

I'm going to post to sets fo lyrics. If you get either one, you can post new lyrics.

 

Rock!

It's what we're all about!

It's what we live for!

Come on, shout it out!

 

Or...

 

Drove downtown in the rain

Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night

Just to check out the late-night record shop

Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane

When i'm surrounded i just can't stop

It's a matter of instinct, It's a matter of conditioning,

It's a matter of fact

You can call me Pavlov's dog

Ring a bell and i'll salivate -- how'd you like that

Dr. Landy tell me you're not just a pedagogue

Sounds familiar, but cant place it. Incidentally, a nickel & some cool points to anyone who can ID this one:

 

Ya peeps talkin 'bout "what kinda shits he on?"

You'll disappear like "Poof, BITCH BE GONE"

OK, no one got mine. It was The Foo Fighters' Big Me. That, too me, is proof no one check this thread out.

 

I was cutting the rug

Down at a place called the jug

With a girl named linda lu

When in walked a man

With a gun in his hand

And he was looking for you know who.

He said, ’hey there fellow,

With the hair colored yellow,

Watcha tryin’ to prove?

’cause that’s my woman there

And I’m a man who cares

And this might be all for you.’

 

I was scared and fearing for my life.

I was shakin’ like a leaf on a tree.

’cause he was lean, mean,

Big and bad, lord,

Pointin’ that gun at me.

I said, ’wait a minute, mister,

I didn’t even kiss her.

Don’t want no trouble with you.

And I know you don’t owe me

But I wish you’d let me

Ask one favor from you.’

"Gimme Three Steps" by Lynnerd Skynnerd (sp?)

 

That was probably the hardest one out of all the ones you put down there. Anyways...

 

"I am governor jerry brown

My aura smiles

And never frowns

Soon I will be president¡­

 

Carter power will soon go away

I will be fuhrer one day

I will command all of you

Your kids will meditate in school"

Well fuck that for a game of soldiers...maybe no one does look at this thread.

 

The answer was "California über alles" by the Dead Kennedys.

 

Anyways, this may be going down in vane but....

 

"Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street

"Out the window I'm staring as my coffee goes cold"

Joe Jackson - Is she really going out with him?

 

 

And just to prove that no one actually looks at this thread....

 

It’s been a hard day’s night, and I been working like a dog

It’s been a hard day’s night, I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you I’ll find the things that you do

Will make me feel alright

OK people that last one was The Joker, by Steve Miller Band.

 

Where do bad folks go when they die?

They don't go to heaven where the angels fly

They go down to the lake of fire and fry

Won't see them again till the fourth of July

 

Bonus points if you can name the band that did the original version as well as recorded the popular version with a much more popular band.

nirvana - lake of fire

 

could nay be arsed to check who did the original

 

oh my turn, been a while alright

 

on a cobweb afternoon

in a room full of emptiness

by a freeway i confess

i was lost in the pages

That's Like A Stone by Audioslave. The original version of Lake Of Fire was done by The Meat Puppets, and the popular unplugged version was recorded live by Nirvana with the Meat Puppets.

 

Once there was a kid who

God into an accident and couldn't come to school

But when he finally came back

His hair had turned from black into bright white

He said that it was from when

The cars had smashed him so hard

I thought I gave too much away...

 

"Everywhere" by Michelle Branch

 

Hey, don't write yourself off yet

It's only in your head

You feel left out or

Looked down on

Just try your best

Try everything you can

And don't you worry

What they tell themselves

When you're away
