maybe YOU can win a llama this time!

[schmerica]

Hi! It is time for another round of the boring game where I post random lyrics from my iTunes and you all show me how brilliant you are in having the same musical taste as me. Okay? Okay!

1. Ain't I gonna take you fishing with me someday?
Well, a man can't love a woman more than that.

2. Do the things that he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him -- "Wishin' and Hopin'," covered by Ani Difranco, malnpudl and sophia_helix

3. Your loving gives me a thrill
But your loving don't pay my bills -- "Money", covered by Josie & the Pussycats, corinna_5 and fox1013

4. You'll be awake, you'll be alert
You'll be positive though it hurts -- "A Better Son/Daughter", by Rilo Kiley, fox1013

5. When I was young I knew a girl
Who wouldn't love God as a test

6. All of my friends say they don't understand
What's the matter with this man

7. I would’ve warned you, but really, what’s the point?
Caution could but rarely ever helps -- "To Your Love," by Fiona Apple, chaneen

8. Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still -- "The Man Comes Around," by Johnny Cash, nifra_idril

9. Je vais et je viens
Entre tes reins
Et je me retiens -- "Je T'aime Moi Non Plus," by Serge Gainsbourg, streetspirit18

10. I got a lucky silver dollar
My granddaddy gave it to me, now he's dead -- "Four Leaf Clover", by Old 97's, corinna_5

11. When you say "Good day, sir"
You stab me all the way through
My tender transgender heart -- "I'm Not a Fucking Drag Queen," by Peter Outerbridge, ubixtiz

12. Didn't mean to skank your art
Should've never hung around us

13. The newspaper said, say, whatcha doing in bed
I said we're only trying to get us some peace -- "The Ballad of John and Yoko">, by the Beatles, corinna_5

14. She can stay as long as she swears
When she breathes it'll be her own air -- "The Professional," by Sleater-Kinney, viciouswishes

15. That weren't no dj
That was hazy cosmic jive -- "Starman," by David Bowie, corinna_5

16. I see that kiss-me pucker forming
But maybe you should plug it with a beer -- "Papa Was a Rodeo," by Magnetic Fields, corinna_5

17. We all know you are soft cause we've all seen you dancing
We all know you're hard cause we've all seen you drinking from noon until noon again -- "The Boy with the Arab Strap," by Belle & Sebastian, corinna_5

18. And you haven't called me in weeks
Honestly it's bringing me down -- "You Wouldn't Like Me," by Tegan & Sara, fox1013

19. And it's a surefire bet I'm gonna die
So I'm taking up praying on Sunday nights

20. When the decent folks dance a two step revival
Denial, deviation, temptation and trial -- "La Petite Mort," by Erin McKeown, azepherin

Kelly Hogan, who records for Bloodshot Records, called #16 the most perfect country song ever written the one time I saw her live.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Those are TOTALLY all correct -- although Fox gets half-credit on #3 for guessing that I am listening to the version on the Josie & the Pussycats soundtrack.

[corinna-5.livejournal.com]

Du Jour means sharing credit!

[fox1013.livejournal.com]

3. Money. I am guessing Josie and the Pussycats, here.

Sure, Erica. That's fine. Judge me for my BEING A GOOD PERSON and NOT CHEATING.

Also, I would just like to point out that no one who's not me got it either.

#2 is that one that goes "Hold him, and kiss him, and [a series of other things whose order I can't remember], and after you do, you will be his", but hell if I know the title.

:-D

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*grins* Man, that happens to me all the time with these things -- I can remember the rest of the verse, but not the chorus or title or anything.

[malnpudl.livejournal.com]

1. Ain't I gonna take you fishing with me someday?
Well, a man can't love a woman more than that.

Put Another Log on the Fire (can't remember who originally wrote/recorded it)

2. Do the things that he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him

Wishin' and Hopin' (no clue who it was, but I can sing along to the whole thing)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Hee. You've got the title for both of them, so you get half-credit if someone else comes up with the artists!

[sophia-helix.livejournal.com]

The Ani DiFranco version? I like that one.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed! Oh, crappy Julia Roberts movies.

[sophia-helix.livejournal.com]

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

[speshope.livejournal.com]

I rather believe I know what 9 is in title, but I can only say the title and not spell it, being that it's french.

Alas.

Je ne veux pas travailler! or something.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

That is totally wrong. But it is in French!

[speshope.livejournal.com]

alaaaas. That is the one of three french songs I know, and I'm fairly sure it's not the other two.

[kerrypolka.livejournal.com]

6. Well, I say, MAMA! He treats your daughter mean!

The version I know is the J Street Jumpers.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

The version I have is, uh, a lot more old-school. Hee.
