Weekend Meme: Random Playlist Lyrics Meme
>> Saturday, August 23, 2008
Alright, I think I got this by digging through Chris' My 2 Cents, I'm about to deem that guy the Meme King, since his meme category is so extensive. This one interest me the most. As I've stated multiple times, I love music. But I think I'll do very bad at games like "Don't forget the lyrics." I'm often surprised at what I was singing after reading the actual lyrics of the songs. Oh well.
These are the rules:
1. Put your mp3 player or music player on your computer on random.
2. Post the first four lines from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (Skip repeat artists).
3. Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
4. Leave your guesses in the comments. Some will be super easy, but try not to cheat by Googling.
From my 4000+ songs iPod, these are the first 20 which are not Chinese and not from any comedian acts or musicals.
Here goes:
1. It ain't 5-0 (naw)
That's the funk yo' (yeah)
Don't act like you didn't know (nuh)
It's just the way it goes (yeah)
2. You are a getaway car, a rush of blood to the head
But me, I'm just the covers on top of your bed
You steer away in a rear view mirror, you make my head swim
I keep you warm and won't ask you where you've been
3. I know this will be
Something I remember in my head (something I remember)
Sharp words push me back
Hanging on to anything I can (anything I can)
4. There was a garden
In the beginning
Before the fall
Before Genesis
5. Ain't gonna be no eyes to make me turn away
Ain't gonna be no kiss to make me contemplate
Walking out the door
And never coming back no more
6. Humdi Lila Allah Jehova
Yahweh Dios Ma'ad Jah
Rastafara fyah
Dance, sex, music, hip-hop
7. Clap ya hands everybody
If you got what it takes
I'm Timbo and I want you to know
That these are the brakes
8. It's been a long time
Since we started
And all of the hurting we've been through
I find that I'm still in love with you
9. Get over the sorrow, girl
The world is always going to be made of this
You can't trust in it
Unless you breathe in bravely
10. (Catch me, catch me I'm falling, I'm falling in love with you)
There ain't nothing I can do, I'm way too deep with you
(Catch me, catch me I'm falling, I'm falling in love with you)
I've only got my heart to lose, should I be scared of you?
11. Oh brother I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you
Cos I don't know what to do
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
12. Just when you think you know the direction of the wind
You find it's only taken over you
And then before you know you're at a different place
A place you do not even recognize
13. You had plenty money in 1941
You lost it all and then where you run?
Why don't you do right
Like some other men do?
14. To just act like we never were
To come around and not show hurt
How dare we greet by shaking hands
Just months ago I was your man {was your man}
15. Suavemente
Besame
Que quiero sentir tu labios
Besandome otra vez
16. I need a gun to keep myself among from harm
The poor people are burning in the sun
But they ain't got a chance
They ain't got a chance
17. There's maybe a way I can tell you
'Cos with everyday things continue
To get more compromised,
So who will fantasize a new generation politicised?
18. Oh do you remember (ooh)
When the family was everything? (ooh)
Oh do you remember? (ooh)
It was so long ago and so much has changed (ooh)
19. I would do anything
Anything you say
If you would just be mine
What more, what more can I say?
20. There's no need to argue anymore
I gave all I could but it left me so sore
And the thing that makes me mad
Is the one thing that I had
Have fun and have a great weekend! I'll reveal the answers on Tuesday.
