eeee!

[schmerica]

My computer! My beloved computer! With internet! So I can use it all I want and not have to constantly share with the father and sister and mother eeeeee!

I think I shall celebrate with a bit of the "identify this song!" meme. Comment with title and artist, yo.

1. Well, it's always fun and games until
It's clear you haven't got the skill
In keeping the gag from going too far
Aimee Mann, "Red Vines", identified by double_helix

2. And it sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks until it goes away
And the truth is we don't know anything
They Might Be Giants, "Ana Ng", identified by sprkid

3. Toss your bear goldfish as it cycles by
Don't forget to feed your bear or it will die
Magnetic Fields, "How Fucking Romantic", identified by notemily

4. Could Mohammed move a mountain
Or was that just PR?
"Superstar", Jesus Christ Superstar, identified by jess79

5. Telephones make strangers out of lovers
Whiskey makes strangers all look good
Old 97's, "Niteclub", identified by ediebeedie

6. I could bitch, I could moan
Say I wanna be left alone
But that's not really true
Because I like my time with you
Jill Sobule, "Bitter", identified by sprkid

7. You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
But that never hurt no one
Billy Joel, "Only the Good Die Young, identified by jorit

8. I find it very very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day's through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you

9. Feeling all alone without a friend you know you feel like dying
Didn't I didn't I didn't I see you crying
Cheap Trick, "I Want You to Want Me", identified by doll_revolution

10. You were wrong when you said
Everything's gonna be all right

11. Maybe I could be the one they adore
I could be my reputation

12. I can't help but feel responsible
I always knew that you were insane
With your pain

13. You've got my number on the wall
So why don't you ever fucking call?

14. Heavens to Betsy, come on let's see
What could be worse than the wheel of history?

15. Are you hungry, did you eat before the show?
I peel potatoes, set the table, wash the floor
Sleater-Kinney, "Little Babies", identified by honkytonkgirl

16. Linoleum floor, linoleum floor
Your lyrics are dumb like a linoleum floor
I'll walk on it
I'll walk all over you
Le Tigre, "Deceptacon", identified by sprkid

17. Then you say go slow
I thought we had

18. Even though it seems it's all lies
I still believe
You should be with me

19. She said she'll take me anywhere
She'll take me anywhere
As long as I'm good and clean
Vaselines (Nirvana), "Molly's Lips", identified by sprkid

20. You're so beautiful, you're so rude
Eating mangoes in a fold-out couch
I'm scooped out

7 - Billy Joel's Only the Good Die Young

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yep!

[poisoninjest.livejournal.com]

4. "Superstar," Jesus Christ Superstar ::shows Andrew Lloyd Webber fangirl geek roots::

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Points for you!

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

Dang it, the only two I knew are already identified.

So! I'll just say congrats on the computer! Yay!!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I know! Yay indeed!!!

[brooklinegirl.livejournal.com]

really honestly truly your own computer? So you can stay in #discourse for hours and hours and not have to share at all? Yay! So very very yay!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yes!!!

(Or at least, when they make me get off, it will be for reasons other than wanting to use it themselves.)

[doll-revolution.livejournal.com]

is #9 'i want you to want me'? which is either by journey or cheap trick, i always confuse them

(because they're, like, so similar and all)

::doll rolls her ignorant eyes::

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

It is! And, yeah, Cheap Trick. (Although the version on my computer is, strangely, a cover by Letters to Cleo.)

[sophia-helix.livejournal.com]

Shoot. I know #1 is Aimee Mann, but can't recall the song without looking at my MP3 folder -- and that would be cheating.

Is it "Red Vines"?

Or am I just totally wrong on all counts? *g*

.m

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Actually, you're right on the money!

[sophia-helix.livejournal.com]

Wheee! :)

Damn. And I'm on my husband's computer, without my Aimee Mann folder. Now I can't listen to the song. ::whine::

3 is "how fucking romantic" by magnetic fields.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

yes. yes, it is.

[thefakeheadline.livejournal.com]

#11 is the Wallflowers, "Sleepwalker." #12 is the Dandy Warhols, "Heroin is So Passe." #14 is definitely the New Pornographers - I think "Letter From An Occupant"?

I so need a music icon...*g*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yes on Wallflowers, yes on Dandy Warhols (though the name of the song is technically "Not if You Were the Last Junkie on Earth"). #14 = right band, wrong song.

ooohh trivia!

[honkytonkgirl.livejournal.com]

#15 is Little Babies, Sleater-Kinney, right? and I know #10 is Built to Spill, but what song??

Re: ooohh trivia!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yes on S-K! Telling you the song fo rthe other would be cheating, yo.

[ediebeedie.livejournal.com]

5- old 97s, niteclub

I MISS YOU ERICA!!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I MISS YOU EDIE!!!

Are you really in Arizona now? That's only ... a bunch of states away from me!

(and you're right, of course.)

[hobbledehoy.livejournal.com]

nobody's gotten "bitter" yet? number six, jill sobule, of course.

and i have to take number sixteen, because of the le tigre website. "deceptacon."

and nineteen. nirvana. "molly's lips" (although at first i had the tune to "new york, new york" in my head, from "if i can make it there i'll make it anywhere" becasue i'm a silly.

xoxoxoxoxox

i'm all memetastic.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

mais oui! you are brilliant, of course. (although I was expecting you to get #2. hmm.) my version of molly's lips is actually the vaselines, but it counts anyway.

[hobbledehoy.livejournal.com]

well of course! ana ng! i actually hadn't seen it, for some reason. tmbg. xoxo

[notemily.livejournal.com]

ooh! ooh! is #14 "battle of a comeback kid"??

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Nope!

Man, New Pornographers are hard. What with the hard-to-hear and vaguely random lyrics.
