How well do you know song lyrics?
 

The Rules
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 10 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Bold the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly. Also, edit the answers in once guessed.
Step 4: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: The person who guesses the last song in the current list gets to post their list next.


Notes: For now, English lyrics only please, no translations. Please save a list of answers for reference in case you forget!

Also, if it is an alternate version or remix of a song that shows up on your player, it may begin with different lyrics than the original. Please post the original lyrics unless it is distinguishably different.

7. Madonna - Erotica
8. Madonna - Human Nature
9. Madonna - Nothing Fails
10. Tori Amos - Crucify

Sorry guys, my "random" shuffle is biased towards a couple different artists..:laugh Makes this considerably easier.

I can't guess!! :dead2 lol. Yours are so hard haha.

By the way, we can only use songs in English, right?

Well I suppose we could use translations too, it's just that there could be inconsistencies in how each song is translated and confusion would arise. Do you think we should try it?

i only recognise a few heh.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5. did it again
6.
7.
8. erotica
9. express yourself
10.

Oh I LOVE this game! I used to live for it on Facebook haha. Lets see...

2. It's either Gimme Gimme Gimme by ABBA or the cover that Madonna did. Knowing the poster, I know which one I'd guess ;)

Darn I didn't know very many :(

so biased, i don't listen to english songs!! T.T

Number 4 is Love Profusion by Madonna, and 10 is Crucify by Tori Amos :D

EDIT: Should we wait until your list is completely guessed before posting our own, or could I do that anytime?

Great job! Number nine isn't Express Yourself, but it's still a good guess.

Correct, it's ABBA! Madonna actually only sampled Gimme Gimme Gimme in her song "Hung Up." I probably would have died if she covered it. :laugh

I wasn't aware this game was on Facebook too. Somebody showed it to me on LiveJournal and I thought it would go over well here.

Way to go Jake on the Tori lyrics! I figured people would get that one last. :laugh I feel kinda dumb now that I actually created the thread and didn't think too hard about how this was going to go down. We could do multiple quizzes simultaneously but I think sorting out the replies would get a bit confusing. On the other hand, if we only did one at a time, it would be hard to choose who goes after who.

Anybody have any ideas?

whoever guesses the last song goes next? *shrugs*


btw, when did you become a mod? O.o;

I'm fine with that rule if everyone else is! :) If things get slow on the guessing end the person with the list can give hints so we can give other people a turn.

I just started out as a temporary forum helper in the Chat Room. :D

oh wait now i remember.
9 = human nature

*edit: i mean 8 = human nature. i juz realised i got the numbers all wrong hehe. :)
*edit: I CANT BELIEVE I DIDNT GET #4!!! >_< its one of my fav of hers. >_<

OOH I KNOW 9. I know that it's from American Life... I love that CD, um, Intervention? No.. that was about the babies. Let me sing it in my head..

YAY I GOT IT. Nothing Fails, right? :D

Woo! :shimmy It's all good, we all have brainfarts sometimes. I know I do! :laugh

You are correct sir! Intervention, Nothing Fails, and X-Static Process are my faves on AL. I love the whole acoustic and intimate feel to the album.

Only a couple more guys! Here's a hint, think Spice Girls, Irish female singer, and disco diva from down under!

number 6 is Wow by Kylie!

Sure is! :D Only two left!

1) Why Do We Cry When There's No More Goodbyes?

2) How Many Special People Change?

3) I had a lot to stay, was thinking my time away.

5) Today is gonna be the day that their gonna throw it back to you.

6) Could you whisper in my ear, the things you wanna feel?

7) I don't want this moment to ever end.

8) I wondered through Fiction to look for the truth, buried beneath all the lies.

I swear I know some of the others, they'll come to me :D

9. COWBOY STYLE by the lovely Kylie Minogue! Omg how did I not get that the first time around? :laugh No wonder it sounded so familiar...

9 (spookshow's list) is (You Drive Me) Crazy by Britney Spears. I seriously know nothing from your list besides that and the Shakira one. I'm never gonna be able to post my list :(

spookshow you posted two number fours! haha Well the second number four is Ride A White Horse by Goldfrapp. :) Number one sounds SO familiar, I can't quite put my finger on it..

oops! i didn't even realise, but yes, correct!

and number one is done by a German rock band, but i've also heard a dance remix/version of it with female vocals if i remember correctly. Song title: "send me ________" (insert the rest if you can!)

i'll be back with hints when i can be bothered ;)

4a is Down with the sickness by Disturbed <333333333

and 5 is All I Need by Within Temptation <33333 I love those bands

spookshow can we get some hints please?

^sure thing! I've been a bit distracted lately...
but anyway, here's your hints! i'll be a bit obvious in some, because as I said, my ipod is full of random stuff.

and very good job lala! nice to see someone here who listens to disturbed and WT :D


1. I'll give you the original two lines and the next two (and a bit) lines: "do you believe in heaven above, do you believe in love? Don't tell a lie, don't be false and untrue, it all comes back to you..."
and after checking wikipedia, it's actually a cover of an Australian dance song released in the 1980's (but which i've heard dance remixes of).
This band is from Norway (but i'll accept the original band/group)

2. another female fronted metal/rock band. Somewhat comparable to Nightwish, Within Temptation etc. From their latest album (2006).

3. i'm kind of suprised no fans of this female pop singer have spotted this earlier. A lady of many (album-inspired) personalities.

6. Female Belgian singer. This song was in the 06 Eurovision, placing just outside the top 10, title is in the language of love ;)

7. This is an old rock song. Supernatural fans may recognise it from an episode in the second season (where the brothers get involved in a bank heist). As this is an old song/band i'll give you the album that this song came from: "Pieces of Eight" (it's one of their more popular songs)

8. Aussie pop singer, was on an Aussie soap show. This was the first track from her debut solo album. (She has a fan thread on AHS somewhere too)



happy guessing!

I 'm alright at remembering lyrics. I usually just remember segements of songs lol!
