Muuuusic memeage!

From elainetyger, only I added comments to all mine because I'm me like that:

1. A song that makes you sad: "We Are The Champions" by Queen (they played it right after reading off the names of everyone who'd died from AIDS in the past year at the AIDS walk in April)
2. A song that reminds you of a vacation: "Consequence Free" by Great Big Sea (climbing Mount Rushmore...)
3. A song you really like, but are ashamed to admit it: "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls (*blushes*)
4. A song that you heard live: "Man, It's So Loud In Here" by They Might Be Giants (and on the line "everything's disco," a huge disco ball lit up and started spinning... DAMN, it was awesome...)
5. A song from a band constisting mostly of women: "All Hands On The Bad One" by Sleater-Kinney (I saw them live with vito_excalibur, but they didn't play this song, unfortunately)
6. A covered song: "Hit Me Baby One More Time" by Billy Boyd (yes, that Billy Boyd)
7. A song that instantaneously brightens your mood: "If I Were Gay" by Stephen Lynch ("if I were gay we would tear down the walls/but I'm not gay, so won't you stop cupping my... hand")
8. A song that is neither English, or German: "Oceano" by Josh Groban (I don't care if the neighbors play him too much or if draughanten hates him for using tonal correction, I still absolutely love this song)
9. A song sung by a woman: "Into the West" by Annie Lennox
10. A song that makes you wanna dance: "Tainted Love" by Marilyn Manson (I cannot hear this song without bouncing all over the place like an idiot. This is a fact.)
11. An instrumental: "Popcorn" by Spiffy (I played this about a billion times in a row after this incident)
12. A song about sex: "All Day Long I Dream About Sex" by JC Chasez (oh god, oh god, I just realized this is the guy from N*Sync!)
13. A song from your favorite band: I refuse to label any one band my absolute favorite, but I do so love Pretty Hate Machine-era Nine Inch Nails. "Sanctified" is still my favorite NiN song.
14. A song from a solo musician: "Summertime" by Ray Charles (because dude, Ray)
15. A song that contains the name of a city: "Say Goodbye Hollywood" by Eminem
16. A song from a soundtrack: "The Night All The Lights Went Out" by the Ataris (notable only for the line "If I could make a wish tonight/I'd wish upon a satellite," one of the best lines I've ever heard)
17. A song that makes you cry: "Run" by Snow Patrol (but only sometimes, when I let myself)
18. The original from No. 6: "Hit Me Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears

Now, the one where I post lyrics and you guys try to figure out what song they're from:
1. This is what we've waited for/This is it, boys, this is war "99 Red Balloons" by Goldfinger, guessed by slightly_wrong
2. Forcing old ladies to feed them some bread/Who could deny they'd be better off dead? "March of the Sinister Ducks" by the Sinister Ducks, guessed by slightly_wrong
3. Oui, moi, je veux l’anarchie/Le temps de la cité, c’est fini! "L'Anarchie Pour Le U.K." by the Sex Pistols, guessed by lillifries
4. And she smiled as their lips met/A scene we won't forget/'Cause it was close to nineteen paragraphs long
5. With a name I'd never chosen/I could make my first steps/As a child of twenty-five "Chocolate" by Snow Patrol, guessed by slightly_wrong
6. And I see all the young believers, your target audience/I see all the old deceivers, we all just sing this song
7. There's dust on my guitar, you fuck/And it's all your fault "You Suck" by the Murmurs, guessed by lillifries
8. One look could kill/My pain, your thrill "Poison" by Alice Cooper, guessed by slightly_wrong
9. I can't imagine any flesh and blood could be his match/I can even take him in the bath "Coin-Operated Boy" by the Dresden Dolls, guessed by slightly_wrong
10. I think you need some education/I think you need some thought control "Revolution" by 30 Seconds To Mars, guessed by burlesquebunny
11. I'm glad we have this new technology (for porn!)/Which gives us untold opportunity (for porn!) "The Internet Is For Porn" by Avenue Q, guessed by slightly_wrong
12. Oh you're lookin' so toned up on that cross/Got a sleek swimmer's body, nothin' soft on Jesus
13. When everything feels like the movies/Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls, guessed by slightly_wrong
14. What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing/And what do we think we might see? "The Rainbow Connection" by Kermit the Frog, guessed by slightly_wrong
15. Girls will be boys and boys will be girls/It's a mixed up mumbled up shook up world "Lola" by the Kinks, guessed by slightly_wrong
16. It's time we saw a miracle/Come on it's time for something biblical
17. Yeah I'll have my coffee black/Hey look we're bombing Iraq
18. Brenda's strange obsession was/For certain vegetables and fruits! "88 Lines About 44 Women" by the Nails, guessed by slightly_wrong
19. And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad/The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had "Mad World" by Gary Jules (that version, anyway), guessed by slightly_wrong
20. Y'all don't know what it's like/Being male, middle-class and white "Rockin' the Suburbs" by Ben Folds, guessed by mamagotcha

If you want any song from either meme (except Britney's original version of "Hit Me Baby One More Time" *shiver*) I'll upload it for you.

EDIT: Dude, I just noticed the juxtaposition of numbers 12 and 13 of the second meme. I desperately want to make a Mel Gibson joke.

OTHER EDIT FIVE SECONDS LATER: And 16 and 17! O.o

Nice sweep! 'Course, I gave you most of those.

[jedusor.livejournal.com]

I'm a bit disappointed in you for not getting 6, 7 or 12, though. And I guess I haven't ever played you 20, have I? You'd love it.

[slightly-wrong.livejournal.com]

i got 12, i spent a few minutes think whether or not i wanted to find the actaul name and artist, then decided i'd be more amused to see who else got it.

[slightly-wrong.livejournal.com]

but you'll have to play me 6,7 and 20 cause i'm pretty sure i've never heard any of them.

[kaberett.livejournal.com]

Well, 10 is obviously a reference to Pink Floyd's The Wall...

1 is gorgeous in the original in German, but probably not screamy enough for you... (:p)

No clue 'bout the others. Sorry. (:

[mamagotcha.livejournal.com]

Obviously.

Hey, I don't think you can say someone who counts Ben Folds among her top five favorite artists and "Mad World" among her top five favorite songs only likes screamy music. I like pretty much all music except bad country, bad pop and Johnny Cash. I happen to have heard the original German version of "99 Red Balloons," and one of the two covers I have sings one of the verses in German. It is indeed a beautiful song.

That last was me, forgetting to log my mom out of LJ. Sorry 'bout that.

[lillifries.livejournal.com]

Hehe, 3 should be Anarchy in the UK in FRENCH, right? *grinsmadly* *waves*

[lillifries.livejournal.com]

And is 7 You Suck by The Murmurs?

[mamagotcha.livejournal.com]

20 should be Ben Folds, "Rockin' the Suburbs," right?

the rest... whiff! (*waving hand over head*)

[jedusor.livejournal.com]

Uh, Mom?

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls/It's a mixed up mumbled up shook up world

You really should know that one. Also, "Rainbow Connection". And I would be surprised if you'd heard some Alice Cooper. Or were you just looking at the as-yet-un-guessed ones?

10. is Revolution by 30 Seconds to Mars.

and I don't know the title of 17, but I know it's by Nellie McKay.
