Oh, the Procrastination...

[unforth]

Okay, so I am also working, but now I need to wait until mom gets home, so I'll procrastinate while I wait for her...

Back in December, a song Meme went around, the first line one, and we all seemed to have a fair amount of fun with it. I was frustrated at the time, though, because I only had a very limited playlist to work from. So, at the risk of being lame, I'm doing the meme again, cause it was fun (I'd love to take a try at other peoples play lists again, too).


1) Random up your music and get 20 tracks with lyrics.
2) Post the first line of each song. (I took some liberties on defining first line, mostly if I thought posting that little would be impossible to figure out... :) )
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.
I'm taking a leaf from schenker28's book, and if the title is in the line, I'll just say [TITLE]. I'm gonna toss any Japanese songs onto the end in addition to the 17 tracks, as bonuses, cause most of the Japanese music I've got is too obscure for most of you, I'm sure...)

I also love this meme, it's fun for all! :) If you post it, I'll definitely do it!

[kniedzw.livejournal.com]

1. Sum 41: In Too Deep
20. Elvis Presley: His Latest Flame

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Yep! :)

[morbon-tg.livejournal.com]

You beat me in on posting! Darn you! :p

[morbon-tg.livejournal.com]

1. "In Too Deep" Sum 41
2. "The Kids Aren't Alright" The Offspring

And I wish I knew more of them that weren't already taken

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Most of the ones I thought were pretty easy (and a couple I though weren't so easy!) have been gotten already. :) Though I'm a little surprised that no one has gotten #4 yet...in particular, of the people who've answered, I'd have thought you or kniedzw would have known it...

[kniedzw.livejournal.com]

I am really hit-or-miss with this quiz. Some of them I get instantly. Some that I really should know take me forever.

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm the same way when I do this one. :) I end up kicking myself for some of the really obvious ones I should have known. And I also run into the band problem - I often don't know who sings the stuff I listen to - there are ones on the list above that I couldn't answer, I'm sure.

[morbon-tg.livejournal.com]

I was so curious after this response that I tried looking up the lyrics for # 4 on google and it couldn't even find them. Now I'm really interested to find out what this song is that I should probably know.

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not sure that you know it, but it seems like the sort of song that if you don't know it, you'd get a kick out of it...

[morbon-tg.livejournal.com]

Damn you. I just thought of something. I'm not familiar with the song off hand, but is this MC Hawkings?

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Indeed it is. :)

[morbon-tg.livejournal.com]

And now I groan. I would never have remembered the title of the song, and I'm not going to write it in here because I actually looked up MC Hawking and found the lyrics. Mike and Megan actually played some of his stuff for us once a while back.

Needless to say, Damn you for bringing this up! :p

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Why does bringing this up damn me? I don't understand...

[mistress-sin.livejournal.com]

1. sum 41 - 'in too deep' or 'over my head'
2. offspring - kid's aren't alright
19. i'm the man . . . crap by someone. i know it was in 'the big hit'.

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Yep, those are all right...I'm not sure I can give you the last without the band, though....(I'll give partial)

[kniedzw.livejournal.com]

Well, I remember the song now, though I didn't remember the band until I looked for the soundtrack's listing. Buck-O-Nine.

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Yep! :)
