Blatantly Stealing Stolen Ideas To Blatantly Fill Space
From the awesome OFB and the equally awesome Other Brian comes this fun little game to do with your mp3 list. Here are the rules, set in stone by Other Brian himself, who probably cut-and-pasted (or outright shoplifted) them from some other person's helpless, hapless, hatless blog/livejournal/blurty/masturbatory webspace:
So, here's the first 25 lyrical examples of my randomized playlist of over 58 gigabytes of mp3 files. Try your best, and NO GOOGLING!
1.)“Be Happy/Be safe/Communicate/This is the end, this is the end...”
2.)“It’s just murder/at least you know I care...”
3.)“And it's me they're looking for,/And it's me I will never survive,/But will be around so long...”
4.)“She put the seeds in me/Plant this dying tree/she’s a burning string...”
5.)“I should have known this right from the start/Only hope can keep me together...”
The Police "Message In A Bottle"- correctly guessed by The Space Lord
6.)“All these creatures were climbing the walls/While the synergy flows through my brains/That is hard...”
7.)"Shedding these vows to the flesh of/Sweat soaked monuments/That just fall apart"
Himsa "Rain to the Sound of Panic"- correctly guessed by The Space Lord
8.)“Across the crucified/So few are chosen/I do not die...”
9.)“Well look out/Here I come again /And I'm bringing my friends...”
Wilco "Outta Mind (Outtasite)" - correctly guessed by Chuckie.
10.)“I'm always feeling steered away/By someone trying to tell me/What to say and do...”
11.)“When I was a baby we would/Go out to the park/and sit out in the fountain...”
Eels "Selective Memory"- correctly guessed by the Incredible OFB
12.)“He used to do surgery/On girls in the eighties...”
Radiohead "Fake Plastic Trees"- correctly guessed by Other Brian (bpd)
13.)“And I'll bust my brains out for you/And I'll tear my hair out/I'm gonna tear my hair out just for you...”
14.)“I never give a warning twice/Anything could happen like a rolling on the dice...”
Tesla "Cummin'Atcha Live!"- correctly guessed by The Space Lord
15.)"Cartier, Sidney Poitier, hooray shit/What with all my niggas from around the way shit..."
16.)“There's a darkness deep in my soul /I still got a
purpose to serve...”
17.)“Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody…”
Blink 182 "Going Away To College" - correctly guessed by Meg
18.)“Everybody stutters one way or the other/So check out
my message to you...”
19.)“Complicate me and forsake me/you push me out so far/there’s
no other feeling..."
20.)“Its about that, what time would that be?/Wind yah waist line to the base line/Slow it down now get the beat right..."
21.)“Consume the young, thoughtless ones/Eat their brain, leave them blind/And then destroy..."
Arch Enemy "Despicable Heroes"- correctly guessed by The Space Lord
22.)“He's loved in seven languages/Diamond nights and ruby lights/High in the sky..."
23.)“Winner fake all..."
They Might Be Giants "Fake Out In Buenos Aires"- correctly guessed by OFB. IN BUENOS AIIIIIIREEEEES!
24.)“Hang up your Christmas stockin'/And let me put my cock in..."
25.)“Oh, yes I am/And you know what?/It's not a schoolgirl crush..."
Answers should only be submitted via the comments below this post. I'll post the answers along with the names of the people who correctly guessed the song titles and artists within this post as people answer. In maybe a week or so, if there are any left, I'll make a new post with all the correct answers, and chastise all who failed to guess them (though, admittedly, some of these are kinda hard). CHASTISEMENTS FOR ALL!
Good luck you princes of music geekdom, you kings of the Internets!

From the awesome OFB and the equally awesome Other Brian comes this fun little game to do with your mp3 list. Here are the rules, set in stone by Other Brian himself, who probably cut-and-pasted (or outright shoplifted) them from some other person's helpless, hapless, hatless blog/livejournal/blurty/masturbatory webspace:
Step 1: Put your media player on random.
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
So, here's the first 25 lyrical examples of my randomized playlist of over 58 gigabytes of mp3 files. Try your best, and NO GOOGLING!
1.)“Be Happy/Be safe/Communicate/This is the end, this is the end...”
2.)“It’s just murder/at least you know I care...”
3.)“And it's me they're looking for,/And it's me I will never survive,/But will be around so long...”
4.)“She put the seeds in me/Plant this dying tree/she’s a burning string...”
5.)“I should have known this right from the start/Only hope can keep me together...”
The Police "Message In A Bottle"- correctly guessed by The Space Lord
(Unless you are well-versed in Japanese, you probably wouldn’t get the song from the anime series Cowboy Bebop that came up here, so let’s continue to the next one.)
6.)“All these creatures were climbing the walls/While the synergy flows through my brains/That is hard...”
7.)"Shedding these vows to the flesh of/Sweat soaked monuments/That just fall apart"
Himsa "Rain to the Sound of Panic"- correctly guessed by The Space Lord
8.)“Across the crucified/So few are chosen/I do not die...”
9.)“Well look out/Here I come again /And I'm bringing my friends...”
Wilco "Outta Mind (Outtasite)" - correctly guessed by Chuckie.
(right here there was a spoken word interlude thing from a Poison the Well album. Moving on...)
10.)“I'm always feeling steered away/By someone trying to tell me/What to say and do...”
11.)“When I was a baby we would/Go out to the park/and sit out in the fountain...”
Eels "Selective Memory"- correctly guessed by the Incredible OFB
12.)“He used to do surgery/On girls in the eighties...”

13.)“And I'll bust my brains out for you/And I'll tear my hair out/I'm gonna tear my hair out just for you...”
14.)“I never give a warning twice/Anything could happen like a rolling on the dice...”
Tesla "Cummin'Atcha Live!"- correctly guessed by The Space Lord
(This is where a sweet piano solo by Aphex Twin would go, would it to have lyrics)
15.)"Cartier, Sidney Poitier, hooray shit/What with all my niggas from around the way shit..."
(Music from Final Fantasy VIII)
16.)“There's a darkness deep in my soul /I still got a
purpose to serve...”
(MORE Aphex Twin, if you can believe it.)
17.)“Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody…”
Blink 182 "Going Away To College" - correctly guessed by Meg
18.)“Everybody stutters one way or the other/So check out
