Fun music game-thinger I snagged from ironheadjane

[thedarksiren2]

I have picked a line of lyrics from 20 different songs. Guess the origins of the lyrics, but DON'T USE GOOGLE TO LOOK IT UP! Now, the POINT was for these songs to be random through your play list, but since my random thinger isn't working so well, we'll just do this off the top of my head.~8D Whoever guesses the most songs correctly wins a mix tape from me (sorry, the CD burner doesn't work~8P). I am not going to respond to any answers for the next 24 hours, so on with the game!

1. "Though he's far away, I'll find my love someday...someday when my dreams come true!"

2. "Nothing can be as savage as love, one taste is never enough."

3. "I like gettin' girls & givin' 'em pearls with their legs across my shoulders!"

4. "Cause I'm the glass you break to touch, but you never want me much"

5. "Wind in time rapes the flower trembling on the vine"

6. "Sometimes the last thing you want comes in first"

7. "...and buy hommus, and tabouli, and rice cakes! rice cakes! rice cakes!"

8. "Shut my mouth and strike the demons, cursed you and your reasons"

9. "I am not this shy or strange or jaded"

10. "Suddenly a sunbeam thrilled me through my weary heart, it was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen."

11. "Fate up against your will, through the thick and thin, you will wait until you give yourself to him."

12. "Curling up inside my private tortures, I nuzzle into pain"

13. "Why'd ya fill my sorrow with the words you borrowed, from the only place that you've known?"

14. "You're the bedtime story, the one that keeps the curtains closed"

15. "You've got your good things and I've got mine"

16. "Don't change a hair for me, not if you care for me"

17. "You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot..."

18. "Intimacy is when we're in the same place at the same time dealing honestly with how we feel and who we really are"

19. "Life is really what you make it they say, I can't even make my mind up today"

20. "Suddenly all time and space loses its meaning when I see your face"

Have fun. I think I'll sleep now.

very good, Danielson!

BTW...Miranda Sex Garden does a really kick-ass version of this song, in case you've never heard it. I think I may have told you that before, but I'm currently hung-over, so I am allowed to forget such things!~;)

Wow. i feel so dumb.
i dunno ANY of these.

*puts her dunce cap on*

heh...don't be too hard on yourself. I have a few friends who listen to as many genres as I do (which only stops short of country {except for Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline~8}, most mainstream R&B & "gangsta" rap), so it's not such a fair game.

I am kinda bummed no girls got the answer to #1 though...I thought all little girls grew up on Disney.

Ah well...if you're curious, here are the answers (http://www.livejournal.com/users/thedarksiren/468487.html#cutid1).

Thanks for playing!

"Destroying Angel" is the Pimps song. I'm surprised at how many people are familiar with anything off that album. It wasn't even released in this country and it was their best by far.

[thedarksiren.livejournal.com]

I knew you'd recognize that.~8)

It's a fantastic album. Definitely my favorite of all theirs.

17. "Fairytale of New York" -Kristy & Shane

Seeing I got it, I thought everyone would.
Maybe it's my ear for the sentimental.
