So I came across this interesting alternative to those get-to-know-me games people send around. I think what a person listens to says a lot about them. I also like that it melds two of my favorite things: music and trivia. So, if you have an iPod I challenge you to pass this along. If you don't, blindly pick 20 songs from your favorite CDs.
I will list the first line of the first twenty songs that popped up in my iTunes library when set it to shuffle (no matter how embarrassing they are), and you have to guess the song and the artist by the first line. Once a song has been determined, post a comment so people can move on to figure out the rest of the songs. Entering the lyrics into a search engine is cheating. So, don't be crazy enough to think I'll believe it if you answer all correctly.
OK . . . I have edited the wordless that popped up: Fugata as performed by Yo Yo Ma and some random soundtrack music; and I omitted the Chinese, Japanese, and Lebanese songs that no one in their right mind would ever get, nor could I ever write the words to those. I did, however, include the #1 MOST VIRAL Romanian song of all time.
1. Alo, Salut, sunt eu, un haiduc,
2. Put the keg on my coffin and think of me ever so often.
3. Whatever Lola wants Lola gets, And little man, little Lola wants you.
4. I thought I saw a man brought to life.
5. Well you ask me if I'll forget my baby--I guess I will someday.
6. Take away the sensation inside--the bittersweet migraine in my head.
7. I've got a symbol in my driveway--I've got a hundred million dollar friends.
8. Under ground I'm waiting, just below the crowded avenue . . .
9. Spend all your time waiting for that second chance . . .
10. Lover, I'm on the street. Gonna go where the bright lights and the big city meet.
11. Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be.
12. Well the Lord said "Let there be" and there was.
13. Lines on your face don't bother me.
14. I want to run. I want to hide.
15. Where do we go, nobody knows.
16. Kick it! You wake up late for school, man you don't wanna go!
17. It's been a hard day's night.
18. The space in my mind is too small for you. The space in my heart is too small for you too.
19. There's a port on a western bay and it serves a hundred ships a day.
20. Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky . . .
I have WEIRD taste in music.
This is how I ink . . .
"Dragonfly"
"Elvis"
"Man of Steel"
"Psalm 92:12" -wood block
"We Shall Come Rejoicing" -lino block

Okay so 9 is Sarah, Angel and 16 is the Beastie Boys, You gotta fight for your right to party.
I really suck at song lyrics so I'm surprised I knew any at all...yay me.
Hmm...#11 is Come as you are by Nirvana and #17 is It's Been a Hard Day's Night by The Beatles. I have no idea if those are the actual song titles, but I feel fairly certain that the artists are correct.
This is so fun. If the grading monster doesn't eat me, I'm going to post this soon.
11 - Nirvana, Come as You Are
14 - U2, Where Streets Have No Name
15 - Coldplay, God Put a Smile
17 - Beatles, Hard Day's Night
18 - Waterdeep, Big Enough to Hold me :)
Yay, me! I knew some! And the ones Abby knew, of course.
