Here's how it goes, I've put all my mp3s in the player, and Hit random to come up with twenty-five songs.  I've posted the first sentence or so of each song, and it's up to your to guess the title and artist (in the case of the songs that have no lyrics, I just hit the button again.)

Now, you can easily cheat and use google, but come on, try not to. 

Dunno how hard this will be, my collection isn't very extensive by most standards, after all, I only have a measly 400 mp3s on my computer (all of which I either bought from online services or burned from legally purchased CDs, of course!) :teddyr:

Enjoy!

1.   “You and I in a little toy shop, buy a bag of balloons with the money we’ve got.”

Actually, this is a remix, but if you put the original artist in, it still counts.

2.   “There’s a big brown cloud in the city, and the countryside’s a sin.”

3.   “I get up in the evening, and I ain’t got nothing to say.”

4.   “I lie awake and dread the lonely nights, I’m not alone.  I wonder if these heavy eyes can face the unknown.”

5.   “Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear, and I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear take the wheel and steer.”

6.   “We’re not going to take it.” (That’s a giveaway.)

7.   “When in the springtime of the year, when the trees are crowned with leaves.”

8.   “One by one, stings my eyes, each is gone, each a disguise.”

9.   “I am the passenger and I ride and I ride.”

10.   “Well, I don’t know why I came here tonight.”

11.   “You gave me this, made me give. Your silver grin, still sticking it in.”

12.   “Yeah, desert sky, dream beneath a desert sky. The rivers run but soon run dry.
We need new dreams tonight.”

13.   “Nihilistic mystics, apostolic alcoholics, messianic manics, cataclysmic and prolific. In the age of super-boredom, hype and mediocrity, celebrate relentlessness, menace to society.”

This is actually a remix of the song, first lyrics in the original version are different, but bother versions contain this verse.

14.   “I can't reject this empty hole, I cannot count the bloody cost.”
 
15.    “Since I was born they couldn't hold me down, another misfit kid, another burned-out town.”

16.   “Lucky you were born that far away so we could both make fun of distance.”

17.   “Closing time, open all the doors and let you into the world.”

18.    “And in the end we shall achieve in time, the thing they call divine.”

19.   “No one’s going to give it away.  They make it hard for the people today.”

20.   “Wake up, grab a brush and put on a little make up.”

21.   “Between the liquor, the bend and the noise in my head. Between your mind and my crime.”

22.   “This magic moment, so different and new, was like any other, until I meet you.”

Another giveaway, but bonus if you can guess which version of the song I have on my playlist.

23.   “Every breath you take, every move you make, every bond you break, every step you take, I’ll be watching you.”

24.   “Big wheels keep on turning, carry me home to see my kin.”

25.   “You tell me I can't slow down, you tell where I gotta be, I spin into the darkness
but I swear that I can't see a thing in front of me.”

5.) Incubus-Drive
15.) Skid Row-Youth Gone Wild
24.) Skynnrd -Sweet Home Alabama

9.- iggy pop 'the passenger'

20: Chop Suey - System of a Down

23: Every Breath You Take - The Police

Correct!

Yep!

Oh jeez is no one going to name 6?


4. Dokken - Dream Warriors
6. We’re not going to take it - Twisted Sister
21. Kmfdm - Brute

Yep! 

Course, I always thought the second song was kind of funny, they make stalking seem so sensual. 

I remember one time I was thinking about that song and came up with some more lyrics to it...

"Every shower you take,
every date you make,
everytime you drive,
no matter where you hide,
I'll be watching you."

I mean, I figure go the full nine and show how creepy this dude really is!  :)

Hey, correct!  Wasn't sure if anyone would know number four or not. 

Surprised no one's guessed 22...

22 Lou Reed - That Magic Moment

Didn't want to rattle them all off, give others a chance you know.

1.  99 Red Ballons.

That particular version is by Goldfinger.

If the first one is actually 99 red ballons and it is a sort of cover/translation of the 80s song by German singer Nena it's ahelluva lot different...

14. "Juke Joint Jezebel" KMFDM - Surprised to see not one but two KMFDM songs, from the same album no less.
17. "Closing Time" by Some '90s Band - Note: May not be actual band name.

Semisonic?

Actually the Nena title was 99 LuftBallons and Americanized title was 99 Red Balloons.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngl7U-L3YLk

Well, like I said, I have about a little less than 400 mp3s on my computer, of them twelve are songs by KMFDM, so 25 random chances out of 400 songs, producing three by the same band is about... ahh, hell, someone else can do the math.

And yes, Closing Time is by SemiSonic.

Updata, okay, so we've got

1. 99 Red Balloons - Goldfinger
4. Dokken - Dream Warriors
5. Incubus-Drive
6. We’re not going to take it - Twisted Sister
9. Iggy Pop - The Passenger
14. Juke Joint Jezebel KMFDM
17. Closing Time by Semisonic
15. Skid Row-Youth Gone Wild
20. Chop Suey - System of a Down
21. Kmfdm - Brute
22. Lou Redd - This Magic Moment (from the Lost Highway soundtrack, prefer this version to the original.)
23. Every Breath You Take - The Police
24. Skynnrd -Sweet Home Alabama

If we're still having trouble after a day or two, I'll post some more lyrics. 

3 - Springsteen (or cover version), "Dancing in the Dark"

Bo-yeah!  :)

Okay, I'm going to post some more on these, help everyone out... :)

2.   “There’s a big brown cloud in the city, and the countryside’s a sin.  The price of life is too high to give up, it's gotta come down again.  The worldwide war is over and done, and the dream of peace comes through.”

7.   “When in the springtime of the year, when the trees are crowned with leaves.  When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew are dressed in ribbons fair.  When owls call the breathless moon in the blue veil of the night ”

8.   “One by one, stings my eyes, each is gone, each a disguise.  Smiling, so aware
Precious moments are so rare, Boiled thoughts, evaporated - gone. Can't bear the loss of never loving you So jaded, so wrong ”

This one might be the toughest on the list, get the feeling the group isn't exactly the most well known. 

10.   “Well, I don’t know why I came here tonight. I've got a feeling something ain't right.  I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair, And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,”

11.   “You gave me this, made me give. Your silver grin, still sticking it in. You have some machine soul machine. Soul of Machine. The longest kiss, feeling furniture days ”

12.   “Yeah, desert sky, dream beneath a desert sky. The rivers run but soon run dry.
We need new dreams tonight. Desert rose, dreamed I saw a desert rose. Dress torn in ribbons and in bows Like a siren she calls to me”

13.   “Nihilistic mystics, apostolic alcoholics, messianic manics, cataclysmic and prolific. In the age of super-boredom, hype and mediocrity, celebrate relentlessness, menace to society.”

Can't believe NO ONE guessed this one yet...

Okay, second line, "This is counter-culture from the underground, eternal revolution this is our sound."

16.   “Lucky you were born that far away so we could both make fun of distance. Lucky that I love a foreign land for the lucky fact of your existence. Baby I would climb the Andes solely To count the freckles on your body. Never could imagine there were only Ten Million ways to love somebody”

18.    “And in the end we shall achieve in time, the thing they call divine. And all the stars will shine for me When all is well and well is all for all. Forever after, living in the meantime wait and see."

19.   “No one’s going to give it away.  They make it hard for the people today.  To get what you want, you've got to do it yourself.  Don't be afraid to drive the nail in the wood. Or drink the bottle if it tastes so good. You'll go the distance. You never thought that you could."

25.   “You tell me I can't slow down, you tell where I gotta be, I spin into the darkness
but I swear that I can't see a thing in front of me. You're closing in behind. I've got headlight in my eyes. Don't get too close to me, can't you see that we'll collide”

7. Is "Mummer's Dance" by Lorenna McKennit

10. Is "Stuck In The Middle With You" by Steeler's Wheel

13. Is "Megalomaniac" by Kmfdm

All correct, except for some reason, the version I have says "Stuck" is by Bob Dylan.. but maybe the file info is wrong... it's the same version from Reservoir Dogs though...

Alright, guess everyone's bored of this one, so I'll go ahead and reveal the answers...


2. Merle Haggard - "Rainbow Stew"

8. kidneytheives - "Layers"

11. Bush - "Mouth"

12. U2 - "In God's Country"

16. Shakira - "Whenever, Wherever"

18. Spacehog - "In the Meantime"

19. Cheap Trick - "Reach Out" (from the Heavy Metal soundtrack)

25. Rob Dougan - "I'm Not Driving Anymore"

Anyway, thanks to everyone who played!  Hope you enjoyed it!

Aww damn it! I can't believe I didn't get the Cheap Trick one! Shame on me!

BTM, is there a round 2?

[/quote]

Gamemaster?  Dude, I'm just the first guy to try it on this board.  Actually, I stole the idea from a friend's livejournal post!  :) 

So, if you want to try, go ahead! 

My collection may be a bit of a challenge (though there are several gimmes here), but I'll give it you guys a chance if you want.  Several songs are covers, so the original or best known version counts.  There are several alt-country numbers and jazz standards in here, with a couple of classic rock tunes as well.  Almost nothing here is from after 2000.

1. "I drive alone home from work, and I always think of her."

2. "All night, all I hear, all I hear is your heart."

3. "Once I loved, and I gave so much love to this love it was the world to me."

4. "There's a silver stream laid across the sky, and this city lifts up it's arms to it."

5. "When I first saw you standing there, a dozen thoughts went through my mind."  (Obscure)

6.  "Jennifer save me."

7. "I don't want no aggravation, when my train has left the station, if you're there or not I may not even know."

8. "The smell of the bakery from across the street got in my nose."

9. "Gotta get off, gonna get, have to get off of this ride."

10.  "God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay."

11. "I'm quittin' my job in the mines, gonna travel that road through the hills and the pines."  (Very obscure).

12.  "Nobody's fault but mine, it's nobody's fault but mine."

13. "How can I tell you that I missed you in all those letters that I meant to write?" (Obscure)

14. "I'm trembling, and you got the touch."

15. "I cover the waterfront, watching the ships go by."

16. "Now that you've found yourself losing your mind, are you here again?"

17. "Friday left me fumblin'' with the blues, and it's hard to win when you always lose."

18.  "Reach a hand to the crescent moon, grab hold of the hollow."

19. "Hey good lookin', what you got cookin'?"

20. "It was the time of the preacher,, when the story began 'bout the choice of a lady, and the love of a man."

21. "I don't know what you're thinking, should I stay or say goodbye?"

22. "Everybody's talkin' at me, I don't hear a word they're saying, only the echoes of my mind."

23. "Don't start them talking, I could talk all night."

24. "Back on the corner, I'm singing the blues, I can see my reflection in the shine of your shoes."

25. "So I try hard to be good and do the things I should, I give up everything that I enjoy." 

I'll hit the obvious ones first on Rev's list...

12.) Nodody's Fault Led Zep
19.) Hey Good Lookin' Hank Williams Sr

To sweeten the pot, here is my list...obviously let me and Rev know which your list you are answering from.  If anything this will show off the ridiculous mix of stuff on my Ipod.

1.) Gripping the wheel his knuckles went white with desire.  The wheels of his mustang exploding on the highway like a slug from a .45. 

2.) Its poetry in motion.  When she turned her eyes to me. 

3.) I want to know, why the people are everywhere.  And I want to know, where to go if I get scared. 

4.) Opportunity knocks once lets reach out and grab it, together we’ll nab it, we’ll hitchhike bus or yellow cab-it. 

5.) But I really want tonight to last forever, I really want to be with you.  Let the music play on down the line tonight. 

6.) Twisting turning schizophrenia, falling deep into dementia. 

7.) And as a matter of fact it blows my mind you would even talk to me.  Because a girl like you is a girl come true, a real life fantasy. 

8.) Six foot two and rude as hell.  Gotta get him in the ground before he starts to smell.   

9.) This is the noise that keeps me awake, my head explodes and my body aches. 

10.) Am I black or white?  Am I straight or gay?

11.) Did you read the news today?  They say that dangers come our way. 

12.)  These tears I cry, they aren’t in vain.  They’re only to hide my guilt and shame.  I forgive you and now I ask the same of you. 

13.) That old man he’s a real mother f*cker gonna kick him on down the line. 

14.) Do you think I could have a drink, cause its so hard to swallow.  Yeah, so hard to swallow. 

15.) She was pretty from New York City.  Walkin’ down that same old fair lane. 

16.) Eyes bulging from their sockets With every swing of my mallet I smash your f**king head in, until brains seep in through the cracks

17.) Wrapped up like a deuce another runner in the  night. 

18.) I think you threw an oath on me Well, hold it, baby, just you wait and see

19.) Now you talkin' like you made a change The more you talk, the more things sound the same

20.) Dance all night, play all day, don’t let nothing get in your way. 

21.) Have you seen junior’s grades?

22.) I met this girl around quarter to ten We made it once, she said, "Make me again."

23)  When you're old, nobody will know that you was a beauty, a sweet sweet beauty A sweet sweet beauty, but stone stone cold

24.) Make love not war sounds so absurd to me.  We can’t afford to say these words like this.  Or else our world will truly rest in peace.
 
25.) Many distant miles away Past the shores of ever dark There stays a magic man Who bears an evil mark

I'll give you 12 because it matches, but that wasn't what I was playing.  "Nobody's fault but Mine" is an old spiritual, the version I have is by David Bromberg.  Looks like Led Zep took the traditional lyrics and changed them a little bit.  I wasn't aware they covered it.  I've never even heard "Presence"!

THE SONG THAT YOU'LL HAVE AS THE TITLE OF THIS?
Zeromancer - Dr Online

Well, it is the beginning of the end...

Hmm... don't really know too much country, except for some old school stuff from the 80s... let's see...

10.  "God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay."

Well, of course, that's "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" classic Christmas song, which version you have could be anyone's guess as I'm sure there's about several hundred of them.  :)

14. "I'm trembling, and you got the touch."

Hmm. is that by chance the song "The Touch" by Alabama?

For Darksider...

1. Is "Black Sunshine" by White Zombie

6. Is "Frayed Ends Of Sanity" by Metallica

7. "Every Little Step" by Bobby Brown??

8. "My Name Is Mud" by Primus

13. Is "Mr. Brownstone" by Guns N' Roses

16. "Hammer Smashed Face" by Cannibal Corpse??

22. Is "Shake Me" by Cinderella!! yay!!

That's all I got dude....

All correct, awesome job  :thumbup:

Hey, Darksider...

15. "Train Kept A Rollin'" by Aerosmith

21. "And The Cradle Will Rock" by Van Halen!

25. "Medicine Man" by Pantera

10 is correct, of course.  It's one of the dead giveaways.

14 is incorrect.  They're not all country/alt-country, which makes it more difficult.

Darksider:

2) is Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me with Science"

17) is "Blinded by the Light", the original Springsteen version.

I know all the "Blind" songs.

Correct again good sir

correct Rev  :thumbup:

Darksider...

4. Is "Movin' Right Along" by Paul Williams

5. "Last Train To London" by ELO

9. Is "Push It" by Garbage??

12. Is it "Human" by The Human League? (love that song!)

19. "My Lovin'" by En Vogue

24. Is "Rest In Peace" by Extreme

>11.) Did you read the news today?  They say that dangers come our way. 

Sounds like "Land of Confusion" by Genesis (and there was a cover by Disturbed) although that's not the first line of the song (unless, of course, you're playing a variation of the game, then it's cool.)

But, as I recall, the first line is, "I must have dreamed a thousands dreams, been haunted by a million screams, but I can hear the marching feet, moving into the street." 

Wow, all that from memory!  :)

Johnny Cash - Time of the Preacher

Well, it's a bit of a giveaway.

"Everybody's Talkin'" Harry Nillson

Correct!  My version of "Movin Right Along" is directly from the Muppet Movie soundtrack. 

Correct!  Ok here's whats left:

3.) I want to know, why the people are everywhere. And I want to know, where to go if I get scared. (90s rock)

10.) Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay? (really early song from a pop legend)

14.) Do you think I could have a drink, cause its so hard to swallow. Yeah, so hard to swallow. (this band got pelted with rocks in Portugal)

18.) I think you threw an oath on me Well, hold it, baby, just you wait and see (has a girl's name in the title of the song)

20.) Dance all night, play all day, don’t let nothing get in your way. (80s pop rock)

23) When you're old, nobody will know that you was a beauty, a sweet sweet beauty A sweet sweet beauty, but stone stone cold (classic rock band)

I think mine were a bit too hard, so I'm going to add some hints.

1. "I drive alone home from work, and I always think of her.  Late at night I call her, but I never say a word."  Alternative rock band from the 1980s.

2. "All night, all I hear, all I hear is your heart.  I twisted you over and under to take you
The coals went so wild as they swallowed the rest."  Alt-country songstress.  Released 2000.

3. "Once I loved, and I gave so much love to this love it was the world to me."  Jazz standard.

4. "There's a silver stream laid across the sky, and this city lifts up it's arms to it."  Current "folk noir" band.  Voltron would get this one.

5. "When I first saw you standing there, a dozen thoughts went through my mind.  You know I ain't no fortuneteller, but I can damn sure tell the time."  (Obscure).  R&Bish singer songwriter from the 1990s.  I doubt anyone will get this.

6.  "Jennifer save me."  Sung by Jeff Tweedy but not with Wilco.

2. "Almost every day I see the same face on broken picture tube..."

3. "Now if there's a smile on my face, it's only there trying to fool the public."

4. "Watch out; you might get what you're after."

5. "Alcohol on my hands, I got plans to ditch myself and get outside."

6. "I dare you to be real, to touch a flickering flame."

7. "We passed upon the stairs, we spoke of was and when."

7. "Man Who Sold The World" David Bowie

12."Knocking On Heaven's Door" Bob Dylan

15. "Separate Ways" Journey

Exactly right! Of course, since I'm a philistine, the David Bowie song was actually the Nirvana cover, but what can you do?

Mofo's list...(I'm no good at this stuff...but I know a couple of these...I think...
#10-...a guess...hmmm...Sheep-Pink Floyd?
#11-REM-End of the World as We Know It
#14-the Beach Boys-Cease to Resist (once was Cease to Exist by some crazy guy...think his name was Chuck something...!)
#19-Sex Pistols?  :question:

Arg! I really do suck at this...ah well... :bluesad:

Mofo,

2. "f**king Hostile" by Pantera?

Mofo
17 Lords Of Acid - Sit On My Face (?)

Smokey Robinson - Tears of a Clown


This is not a song; it's my weekend shopping list.


I think the name of the song is "People Who Died."  I'm not sure who the singer/band is, I don't think it was anyone famous - a one-hit wonder.  Not the Sex Pistols.  It's on the "Basketball Diaries" soundtrack.  Close enough?

This is not a song; it's my weekend shopping list.

[/quote]
Wild guess here, is it Queens Of The Stoneage, can't remember the song title though.

5. "When I first saw you standing there, a dozen thoughts went through my mind.  You know I ain't no fortuneteller, but I can damn sure tell the time."  Vinx, Temproary Love.

10.  "God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay." Picked: "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen."  The version is by Aimee Mann.

25. "So I try hard to be good and do the things I should, I give up everything that I enjoy."  Louis Armstroing and Ella Fitzgerald, "Necessary Evil"

Sorry, RCMerchant, but those aren't quite the titles. #10 though is a bit of a trick, since it's kind of a novelty song from the '90s involving the Gregorians.

#2 is indeed "f**king Hostile" by Pantera.

#17 is "I Sit in Acid" by the Lords of Acid

#3 is correct, "Tears of a Clown" by Smokey Robinson

#11 is "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" by Queens of the Stone Age (Note: That first line is almost all of the lyrics in the entire song.)

#19 is "People Who Died" by the Jim Carroll Band, the guy who the movie The Basketball Diaries was actually about.

Round Two for me.  Most of these ended up being extremely easy. 

1.) At night I walk this stinkin' street past the crazies on my block.
2.) I just think of you and  I start to glow and I need your light and baby you know.
3.) Girl you're like a book with a page torn out.  You can turn a whisper to a shout. 
4.) I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, that much is true. 
5.) I'd kill myself for you, I'd kill you for myself. 
6.) get yourself cooler, lay yourself low  coincidental murder, with nothing to show
7.) The siren sings a Lonely song of all the Wants and hungers
8.) Wake up bloodshot eyes struggle to memorize the way it felt between your thighs.
9.) Darkness, imprisoning me, all that I see, absolute horror.
10.) The lesson now is don't give in, aim for a new tomorrow.
11.) Too high to get over, to low to get under, you're stuck in the middle and the pain is thunder.
12.) If I had my druthers, I'd screw a chimpanzee.
13.) So i tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why.
14.) Now you're punching and your kicking and your shouting at me.  I'm relying on your common decency.
15.) Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you never come around. 
16.) I made excuse for a million lies but all I got was humble kidney pie.
17.) Mama says that I never never mind her. 
18.) And would it pay you more to walk on water Than to wear a crown of thorns
19.) You, took all there was to take  And left me with an empty plate  And you don't care about it 
20) I wanna run, i want to hid i want to tear down the walls that hold me inside.

4.) I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, that much is true. 

Shoot, I know this song, just not who sings it.  Another part goes something, "Don't you want me, baby?  Don't you want me ooooh!"  Or some such.

9.) Darkness, imprisoning me, all that I see, absolute horror.

Metallica - "One"

13.) So i tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why.

Telsa - "Signs"

15.) Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you never come around. 

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" - by Bonnie Taylor (with Meatloaf) there was also a faster dance version by Nikki French.  Song's been like the theme of my life of late... :(

20) I wanna run, i want to hid i want to tear down the walls that hold me inside.

"Where the Streets Have No Name" - U2

Wow, four for sure!  That's a record for me on these things!  :)

7.) The siren sings a Lonely song of all the Wants and hungers
"Blood, Milk and Sky" White Zombie

12.) If I had my druthers, I'd screw a chimpanzee.
"DMV" Primus

Close enough on the first guess.  Its the Human League who sings it.  Good job  :thumbup:

All correct, good job  :thumbup:

Darksider,

17] is from "metal health" (quiet riot) isn't it?
