omg i am so so so so bored

[schmerica]

I am going to make an effort not to just spam all weekend, but man. Boredom.

More lyrics.

1. Listen in as shin-kicked Jim relates his story sad
About a boy who kicked until his shins were all but rubber bands
Decemberists, "Song for Myla Goldberg" (sprkid)

2. And they'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go
I was singing this song
Johnny Cash, "We'll Meet Again" (lattara)

3. Although I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off
And countless screaming Argonauts
They Might Be Giants, "Birdhouse in Your Soul" (sprkid)

4. We wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner
But we would eat Kraft Dinner
Of course we would, we'd just eat more
Barenaked Ladies, "If I Had $1000000" (sprkid)

5. I take you home now watch me get you hot
You're just a parrot when you're screaming and you're shouting
More crackers please, more crackers please
Le Tigre, "Deceptacon" (sprkid)

6. Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free
At night I lock the door and no one else can see
Madonna, "Into the Groove" (sprkid)

7. I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
Whose reality I knew was hopeless to be had
Fiona Apple, "Paper Bag" (cacklebang)

8. Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Mister Charles Darwin had the gall to ask, yeah yeah yeah yeah
R.E.M., "Man on the Moon" (sprkid)

9. Found your mittens behind a box of pictures
You would wear them before I brewed the tea

10. He took her by the hand
Walked her back home
They took the long way
Old 97's, "Question" (notemily)

11. I ain't gonna hurt nobody
I ain't gonna cause a scene
I just need to admit
I want sugar in my tea
Weezer, "The Good Life" (brooklinegirl)

12. And you're a bass player in a band that got a deal
Dealing with assholes instead of explosives
Jill Sobule, "Resistance Song" (sprkid)

13. I'm so sick of tests
Go ahead and flunk my ass

14. One kiss from me and you'll be overjoyed and overawed
One kiss from me and you'll see God
Magnetic Fields, "We Are the King of the Boudoir" (fantasmabob)

15. Uriah hit the crapper, the crapper
Uriah hit the crapper, the crapper
Uriah hit the crapper, the crapper
Pixies, "Dead" (sprkid)

16. You're the boy with all the leather hips
Sticky hair sticky hips stubble on my sticky lips
Franz Ferdinand, "Michael" (cacklebang)

17. And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Jesus Christ Superstar, "Everything's Alright" (lattara)

18. Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm, then you pull it back
Life is hard, you know, ohwayoh
So strike a pose on a Cadillac
Bangles, "Walk Like an Egyptian" (gurrier)

19. I've been staring at the sun some time
It gets dark inside but I don't mind
Josie & the Pussycats, "Spin Around" (fox1013)

20. And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
David Bowie, "Five Years" (cacklebang)

with my procrastination i ruin the fun

[hobbledehoy.livejournal.com]

1 the decemberists - song for myla goldberg (which came up random on my itunes very recently, it reminds me of tonguetwisters in choir class)
3 - they might be giants - birdhouse in my soul
4 - barenaked ladies - if i had a million dollars
5 - le tigre - deceptacon

. . . i feel like if i answer them all you get to post another one. . .

6 - madonna - you can dance
8 - rem - man on the moon
12 - jill sobule - resistance song (which was in my head earlier today, the "and i had a small mustache" bit)
15 - the pixies - dead

i go away now. (;

i don't want to write this paper.

neither do i want to whine to you on aim, though, cos that's mean.

fun things to do on sunday, maybe?

Eee, look at you and your brilliance.

Re: the Decemberists -- I think "unique New York" is really one of the hardest tongue twisters to say. That and "red leather, yellow leather."

And fun things on Sunday would be very nice.

Also! I wanted to ask you if you know who I have to go to about my mailbox, what with the key being lost. I kind of haven't check my mail in a week now.

Re: with my procrastination i ruin the fun

[hobbledehoy.livejournal.com]

i would suggest going to the mail window to try to get your mail, but you'll have to report your lost key to housing eventually and pay to get it replaced.

now figuring out what kind of fun things is the hard part (as i choke on my popcorn). i'd been thinking of going to a bookstore to read the grim grotto but i don't know.

tossing lavender leather into the tongue twister makes it worse. but yeah, unique new york is renound for being the hardest. . . i am good at it mostly because of choir classes - we always did the long version that they use in the song. i almost feel like it's a tribute. (smile) i saw the decemberists live at sasquatch last year. it was great. i was right in front of the accordion. literally *right* in front.

[lattara.livejournal.com]

Dammit. I recognize two of the songs, but I can't remember who sings them (although one of them has been sung by many people in the past).

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

If the one that's been sung by many people is #2, I'll pretty much accept whatever for that -- I know my version of it is a very recent cover.

[lattara.livejournal.com]

Okay, then! Number two is "We'll Meet Again" by Johnny Cash (in my version it is, at least.)

Number seventeen is "Ecerything's Alright" from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar - sung by at least as many people as number two.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yep! That's actually the version of "We'll Meet Again" I was listening to, as well.

[cacklebang.livejournal.com]

7- Paper Bag - Fiona Apple

16- Michael - Franz Ferdinand

20- Five Years - David Bowie

I'm a sucker for guessing games.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too. And woo, all correct.

18. Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm, then you pull it back
Life is hard, you know, ohwayoh
So strike a pose on a Cadillac

The Bangles, "Walk like an Egyptian"

20. And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there

David Bowie, "Five years"

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

"Walk Like an Egyptian" it is. It was hard trying to figure out how to write "ohwayoh", too.

[brooklinegirl.livejournal.com]

11. "Good Life" by Weezer

17. "Everything's All Right", Jesus Christ Superstar, YAY!

*smooches you on your lonely weekend*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about you when I was typing up the JCS one, too! Although someone else got to it before you. Heh.

[notemily.livejournal.com]

10. "question" by old 97s

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

aka, the song that makes me melt every single time I hear it ever, yes.

[umbo.livejournal.com]

17 is Everything's Alright from Jesus Christ Superstar. I knew a couple others, too, but they'd already been guessed.

[umbo.livejournal.com]

And I didn't check the comments first, but I see BLG beat me to this one too!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Heh. It's a cutthroat game!

[fox1013.livejournal.com]

I KNOW something!

*is irrationally proud*


19 is from Josie and the Pussycats!

[fox1013.livejournal.com]

..."Spin Around"!

And this post needs to go through or I will CRY.

*cries demonstratively*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Don't cry! It went through! You are briliant and adorable!

[moireach.livejournal.com]

Today's random trivia: Michael Stipe wrote "Man on the Moon" 'cause he wanted a song with more "yeah"s in it than one of Kurt Cobain's. Heh.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Heh, I didn't know that.

[fantasmabob.livejournal.com]

14 is the Magnetic Fields, "King of the Boudoir"

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Indeed it is!
