First lines music meme

Picked up this meme because it looked like fun. The playlist is my main writing playlist, which is all I've listened to in ages except for the radio and random youtube links.  Normally I'd say this is pretty obscure stuff, but I'm curious to see what some of my new f-listies are familiar with.

Step 1: Set your primary playlist to random and shuffle it.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play (or more, if you like!), no matter how embarrassing the song. If you want to, skip instrumentals, songs that have the title in the first line and songs that aren't in the first language of the majority of your flist (it makes it easier for most).
Step 3: Tag people if you want, but anyone is allowed to guess the answers.
Step 4: Strike through and add the artist and title below the lyric when someone gets one right.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating. Please don't.
Step 6: If after 30 days, there are still gaps, put people out of their misery.

8. "I've got nothing to say, someone has taken my place."

9. "I went out with a waitress, the way I always do..."

10. "I want to be with you, I want to be clear..."

11. "Everything that keeps me together is falling apart"

16. The Moldy Peaches - Anyone Else But You.

No idea about the rest! 4 sounds familiar, but not enough for a guess.

It so totally is! **hugs** And one of the songs I had to skip because the title's in the first line was "Skullcrusher Mountain". So glad somebody got this one@

"Things have been okay for me, except that I'm a zombie now, and stuff..."

My fave of all his many, many songs, has to be "That Spells DNA". I was singing that chorus for an hour after the first time I heard it, and laughing as well. Kudos for excellent song choices. Also, have you seen the 'Skullcrusher Mountain' t-shirt? It's kinda fantastic....

Oh, nineties nostalgia. :) 1 & 15 are both Stone Temple Pilots. Interstate Love Song & Sour Girl. Yes?

[identity profile] moragmacpherson.livejournal.com 2010-12-05 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
90's nostalgia? I'll have you know I bought both of those records on the very day they came out! Okay, so I'm something of a codger (at least it was the music of my youth?). Oh, and you're also totally right.

[identity profile] whomadethatup.livejournal.com 2010-12-06 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, no! Don't feel self-conscious! I was totally right there with you! Did I say it wrong? I was having fond memories of my teenage years, is all I meant. If you're a codger, then so am I. ;)
