mp3 meme!

[zola]

from many on the flist :)

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 10 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. (Skip the instrumentals, the remixes and the mashups)

Heh, this is really a mixed bag. There's some classic 80's stuff and more recent stuff that's a bit more obscure, so I've given a bit extra if the first line is very short... we have one cover here from a very well-known artist--in fact, the original artist is not near as well known although most will know the song right away.


1) Light a candle lay flowers at the door for those who left behind and the ones who've gone before Duran Duran, Out of My Mind nmissi

2) On the floor of Tokyo Or down in London town to go, go Billy Idol, Dancing with Myself lillyrose


3)Looking out old a dirty old window down below the cars in the city go rushing by Kim Wilde, Kids of America lillyrose

4)Life isn't easy from the singular side down in the hole some emotions are hard to hide Billy Squier, In the Darkpennycentury

5)I get my thing in action Moby, "Verb: That's What's Happening..." Major props to pennycentury! :)


6)What is love? Lady don't hurt me... Haddaway, What is Love pennycentury


7) It seems that every day's the same and I'm left to discover on my own

8) You are the sun I am the flame you are the blood I am the same The Cult, Rise lillyrose

9) You gotta keep 'em separated Offspring, Come Out and Play nmissi

10) I love the way you look at me I feel the pain you place inside. Puddle of Mudd, Control ravenlore. I heard they had a new album out, anybody know if it's any good?

I know 9. I know other things they sing. ACK! Can't think of their name AT ALL!!!

1. Out of my mind, Duran Duran
9. Come out and Play, by offspring

Thanks for knowing #9. That was driving me crazy since I knew the band but not their name.. and I would have gotten the name of the song wrong. Was getting close to using Google.

6) Haddaway, "What Is Love?"

Heh I was a little surprised that wasn't the first one guessed what with Pepsi's superbowl commercial... :)

Guh, and TV Guide putting the original video up for Valentine's Day!

By the way, didn't Moby cover "That's What's Happening" from Schoolhouse Rock? Originally by Bob Dorough? I get my thing in action.... Good times. Goooooood times.

Yes! *punches air* I'm not the only person on earth who liked that album!

It's SchoolHouse Rock! Rocks and yes it's moby. "Verb: that's what's happening..."

That one and Skee-Lo's "The tale of Mr. Morton" (Mr. Morton is the subject of the sentence and what the predicate says, he does...) are my two favorites off the album.

Yeah, I'm one of the bazillion people out there who still can sing the entire Preamble to the Constitution. (And remember when it was just Multiplication Rock..."is brought to you by...Nabiscooooo").

I was gonna share, but since #4 is still up for grabs, I might as well call it -- "In the Dark" by Billy Squier.

"Grammar's not your gramma it's your grammar... Grammar Rock is brought to you by... your very favorite General, General Foods"

That's really scary...

They have the whole Schoolhouse Rock collection out on DVD now, I got it for my roommate's daughter and it was fun to hear all the songs again.
