Guess the song by a line (or two) from it.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

Preferably first lines, but not necessarily.

Here we go.

Où sont tes héros aux corps d'athlètes
Où sont tes idoles mal rasées, bien habillées

1. That would be Sexy Boy, by Air. Correct?

Here's mine:

How can I explain
When there are few words I can choose
How can I explain
When words get broken ...

(a relative oldie)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

2. Yep, Welcome to DU, your turn.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

3. Is that Erasure?

4. Yep, now name the song...

since it looks as if we are the only two playing. :D

[Screaming Lord Byron]

5. Chains of Love?

[DontBlameMe]

6. Chains of Love

[DontBlameMe]

7. Ok. Try this one.

Am I a long ways from your heart? I wonder.
Is this where love ends, heartache starts? I wonder.

[northzax]

robert cray

I wonder if you ever think about me

And how good our lovin' used to be


too damn easy.

[northzax]

8. ok, easy one

"the Salvation army band played,
and the children drank lemonade..."

[DontBlameMe]

17. Dream Academy

Life in a Northern Town

[northzax]

18. moving up a notch

You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex,
A stranger with yor door key explaining that i am just visiting,
And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving.

[DontBlameMe]

27. Ya got me.

The lyrics seem really familiar, but I can't place it, and it's not in my cd collection.

Also, I probably shouldn't have chosen a Robert Cray song with title so predominately in the lyrics.

[northzax]

40. Postal Service...

title below...great CD.

[Fenris]

28. The District Sleeps Alone Tonight

[northzax]

37. impressive. next up

I'm fighting on a daily basis
for truth and honor
I'm fighting to truly face this
5000 minutes of pain

[DontBlameMe]

31. Ok. New one.

One the day the wall came down
The ship of fools had finally run aground
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight

[Screaming Lord Byron]

33. Shine on you crazy diamond. Try this.

There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for may....

[Fenris]

34. Wow. Moving into Syd territory, are we?

Put on a gown that touches the ground, ah oo!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

38. I thought it was a nice little segue. Here's another.

It's in the order of their hedgerows
it's in the way their curtains open and close
it's in the look they give you down their nose
all part of decency's jigsaw I suppose

[northzax]

47. respectable street. next up...

Since I find out that all of this
Is nothing more than emptiness
Filled with impermanence
A guided tour of your deepest fears
Designed to help you vision clear
We'll depart from here

[CrownPrinceBandar]

35. "See Emily Play"

Pink Floyd.

Howz this:

At every stroke of the bell in the tower there goes
Another boy from another side
The bulletins that steady come in say those
Familiar words at the top of the hour

[northzax]

39. what, the Clash is supposed to stump us?

Innoculated City.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

46. Alright, how about...

I get up early in the morn,
I get up early in the morn.
I slop the pigs,
Momma shucks the corn.
I get up early in the morn.

[northzax]

49. ween, anyone?

I'll be your johnny on the spot.

let's have some fun...

"well just how far down do you want to go
we can talk it out over a cup of joe
you can look deep into my eyes,
like I was a supermodel..."

[CrownPrinceBandar]

53. "Banditos" by the Refreshments...

Kevin Smith fan here.

This was fun. I'm out.

[Fenris]

50. Ween

I'll Be Your Jonny on the Spot

[DontBlameMe]

36. Nope

[Screaming Lord Byron]

41. Really? I was sure. OK, clue needed.

[DontBlameMe]

43. Right group.

Newer album

[northzax]

44. ohh, ooh, I know

it's a great day to ask that question, ain't it...

[Screaming Lord Byron]

45. Oh, it's post Waters, isn't it. A Great Day For Freedom.

That'll teach me to post at work when I'm not really thinking straight.

[DontBlameMe]

48. Yep.

Post Waters is still Floyd. Actually, I thought lapse of reason and division bell were great albums.

This is what I was going to give as a clue:

So I open my door to my enemies
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
But they tell me to please go and fuck myself
You know you just can't win.

Actually, while waiting for the reply, I popped the cd in and grabbed my guitar. Absolutely love that song!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

51. Don't worry, no slur intended. I tend to think of the Floyd in 3 phases

Syd, Waters, Dave

[DontBlameMe]

52. No slur received, sir.

I agree. Even Gilmour's solo work was decidedly Floyd.

Have you ever heard "The Screaming Abdabs"? Dark Side of the Moon before Gilmour joined the band.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

42. I wanna give a clue....

but I'm sure SLB, Fenris or Whitacre will get it pretty soon. Its an obscure song from a fairly popular group. I'll give it a bit.

[Fenris]

9. My contribution

He bought a second-hand Nova from a Cuban Chinese
And dyed his hair in the bathroom of a Texaco

[Screaming Lord Byron]

10. I know it's Tom Waits, can't remember the name, though.

[Fenris]

11. Gun Street Girl. Good job, SLB. Our Lord would be proud.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

12. Here's one.

Are you alone now
Did you lose the monkey
He gave you backaches
and now you slouch

[Fenris]

13. Ooo! Ooo! Fountains of Wayne!

Radiation Vibe!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

14. Man, you're a quick one, Fenris.

[Fenris]

15. I love that record.

I heard of them before "Stacy's Mom." When I was in seventh grade I fell in love with Apartment Life by Ivy. A certain member of Ivy is also in Fountains of Wayne. So I naturally picked up on Fountains of Wayne.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

16. Saw them on the first album tour. Good live act. Here's a new one.

You'll always come to mind,
whenever I hear that song.
The one about photographs,
Sung by Ringo Starr.
Especially in the chorus part,
You always said "Now, don't you start."

[northzax]

19. sloan- the lines you amend

good stuff, that.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

20. Well done, I was worried I'd gone too obscure. Here's too obscure.

Hermann loves Pauline and Pauline loves Hermann
they made love and gave birth to a little German
They call him MC2 because he raps like no other
an asthma sufferer like Ernesto Guevara
Too much Monte Cristo No. 4
pass the ventolin I need some more

No one will get this, but I love the lyrics

[Whitacre D_WI]

21. *ahem*

Marie Curie was Polish born
but French bred French bread
Of course she ended up dead
from radiation slow invisible suffocation
Down the 24 hour garage
or any service station
I lead my life in a quest for information
Sensurrounded by pies and books
middle-aged drivers and deranged cooks

[Screaming Lord Byron]

23. I just knew it would be you or Fenris.

They never noticed her at school they tell me s
he kept herself to herself
She used to sit and stare up at the ceiling
Hermann loves Pauline
They never noticed him at school they tell me
he suffered poor health
He used to vacantly stare out the window feeling under?

[Whitacre D_WI]

24. Fenris is a hoser.

:hi:

[Fenris]

26. Sockcucking Wuckfit

:hi:

[Whitacre D_WI]

29. Fut-nuck wss-aipe?

:shrug:

[Screaming Lord Byron]

32. Futhermucker slitchbut

[northzax]

22. you are right, that is beyond me

alas.

but, since you aren't sharing I cheated on you with google...

[Screaming Lord Byron]

25. So was your one up thread. I am clueless, I am without a clue.

It's Herman loves Pauline by the Super Furry Animals

[northzax]

30. I'll give it a couple of minutes

see if Fenris or Whitacre have it...

[Screaming Lord Byron]

54. Here's what's on my computer right now, but who is it?

Turtles have short legs, not for the walking.

[geniph]

55. Here's my contribution

So long boss, knock ’em dead, don’t worry ’bout a thing
Wish that we could come along, we’d love to hear you sing
Limo’s here, your bags are packed, the list is by the phone
Me and snake will watch your place and treat it like our own
