Meme-age!

After (far too much!) poking around through old CD's of mine, I managed to find a few of my ollllld play lists. All in all, this was made from a list of only about 300 songs, so it's not an accurate reflection of my music (sigh) but it's the best I could do without my main computer, and this meme was too much fun for me not to want to give it ago - I've had so much fun trying other peoples!!

So!


1) Random up your music and get 17 tracks with lyrics.
2) Post the first line of each song.
3) Allow people to procrastinate by trying to identify the song and artist from those first lines. They'll post comments and then you cross out songs when people get them right. The ones who are wrong will be pleasantly mocked.
4) Smite all cheaters who go to search engines for their answers.
Note that I skipped songs I didn't know well enough to be able to sing, because I can't actually PLAY the mp3's, this was made just from an old play list. Sigh. I'm also taking a leaf from [livejournal.com profile] schenker28's book, and if the title is in the line, I'll just say [TITLE]. And I only included Japanese songs if I thought there was a chance anyone would know them. :)

2. One tin soldier by... Coven? So many covers of that one...

8. 500 miles by The Proclaimers

[identity profile] unforth.livejournal.com 2006-12-09 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Correct! The version of One Tin Soldier I have is Me First and the Gimme Gimme's, though. :)

[identity profile] dyrecorn.livejournal.com 2006-12-08 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
8 - The Proclaimers - I'm gonna be / 500 miles
16 - Yakusoku wa iranai - Excaflowne Opening - I'm not sure who sings it off hand

[identity profile] unforth.livejournal.com 2006-12-09 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed. I was going to injure you if you didn't get Yakusoku wa Iranai, since I know you like it almost as much as I. And the singer is Sakamoto Maaya.

Hm, interesting! No, actually, but this song was originally written by Yoko Kanno, I wonder if they have really similar openings? I will look into it...

[identity profile] moonartemis76.livejournal.com 2006-12-09 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'm guessing #5 Full Of Grace by Sarah McLachlan
#8 500 Miles by I don't remember who
#11 Mr. Bojangles?

[identity profile] unforth.livejournal.com 2006-12-09 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
That's a no on number 5, but the others are right. :) I don't know much Sarah McLachlan music...number 5 is a kind of weird one, I'd be kind of surprised if anyone gets it, though ya never know...

[identity profile] nekomata.livejournal.com 2006-12-09 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
