Frustrated? Answers Await!
In the words of Other Brian, "If you didn't get them by now, you won't." Since Other Brian waited 6 days until he relented, I figured I should too. So, here are the songs that you guys couldn't identify. Some bizarrely obscure, and some intensely obvious.
1. “Be Happy/Be safe/Communicate/This is the end, this is the end...”
To My Surprise - Sunday
(I wasn't expecting anybody to guess the 60's-style psychedelic pop/rock side-project of the Clown guy from Slipknot. The entire album is pretty bland, anyways; not recommended. This was the most obscure selection, methinks.)
2. “It’s just murder/at least you know I care...”
Helmet - See You Dead
(The first single off of Helmet's comeback album that was released earlier this year. It's refreshing to hear from Helmet again, though the album is slightly lackluster.)
3. “And it's me they're looking for,/And it's me I will never survive,/But will be around so long...”
Coldplay - Brothers & Sisters
(A random Coldplay B-Side. There's a reason it's a B-side.)
4. “She put the seeds in me/Plant this dying tree/she’s a burning string...”
Marilyn Manson - In The Valley of the Shadow of Death
(A track off of Holy Wood, which is Manson's second least-shitty album.)
6. “All these creatures were climbing the walls/While the synergy flows through my brains/That is hard...”
Supergrass - Funniest Thing
(Crazy Brit-pop-rock at its finest. A decent song off of a very cool album.)
8. “Across the crucified/So few are chosen/I do not die...”
Rob Zombie feat. Iggy Pop - Hands of Death (Burn Baby Burn)
(Off of Zombie's Greatest Hits album. I like the song, but perhaps I'm in the minority. Sounds like everything else Rob Zombie does, because Rob Zombie is the new AC/DC.)
10. “I'm always feeling steered away/By someone trying to tell me/What to say and do...”
The Offspring - Meaning Of Life
(The song that drove OFB mad as a hatter. Back when The Offspring rocked. Yes, they used to. Shut up.)
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...”
The Rolling Stones - I Got The Blues
(With so many awesome music junkies on the Internets, I figured a Stones tune would be a shoo-in to be guessed. One of the few Stones songs that I enjoy.)
15. "Cartier, Sidney Poitier, hooray shit/What with all my niggas from around the way shit..."
Busta Rhymes - Gimmie Some More
(My favorite goddamn rap song EVER. I can still sing every word of this and keep up with Busta. This is what you should be listening to.)
16. “There's a darkness deep in my soul /I still got a purpose to serve...”
Santana feat. Everlast - Put Your Lights On
(Come on, this was DISTURBINGLY popular in 1999! Despite not rocking hard.)
18. “Everybody stutters one way or the other/So check out my message to you...”
Scatman John - Scatman
(WHEEEEE BOP BOP BA-DOP BO! BOP BA-DOP BOP BO! The pinnacle of mindlessly retarded 90's dance/pop music.)
19. “Complicate me and forsake me/you push me out so far/there’s no other feeling..."
Trust Company - Falling Apart
(Shitty, shitty nu-metal excrement. I commend you all for not knowing this. Avoid.)
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..."
Missy Elliott feat. Elephant Man - Keep It Movin'
(As with most Missy Elliott songs, awesome instrumentation, weird-but-passable rapping from Missy, and some retard stuttering nonsense in the middle of the song somewhere.)
22. “He's loved in seven languages/Diamond nights and ruby lights/High in the sky..."
Sade - Smooth Operator
(I was shocked that nobody got this. Seriously, go download it now. A classic.)
24. “Hang up your Christmas stockin'/And let me put my cock in..."
Nerf Herder - I Got A Boner For Christmas
(Another one I wasn't expecting anyone to get. Very obscure, incredibly juvenile, but it still makes me laugh. I love my strange Christmas rock songs.)
25. “Oh, yes I am/And you know what?/It's not a schoolgirl crush..."
Joss Stone - I've Fallen In Love With You
(Joss Stone is really really REALLY good. This song is awesome, times 3.)
Final Scores:
Space Lord - 4
OFB - 2
Chuckie- 1
Meg - 1
Other Brian (bpd) - 1
9 out of 25. I need to start listening to more mainstream stuff.
