highschool students have the coolest memes…

I never got around to doing the random songs from your iTunes meme, so I’m going to do this variant instead. And so, the music meme, as stolen from the delightful jazzyjess:

On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favorite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs and artists.

  1. I’m scared…
    Cuz though we’ve just met, there’s this energy between us.

  2. Lennon never has to sing a Paul McCartney song
  3. I never been the type to
    break up a happy home
    but something bout baby girl I just can’t leave alone
    so tell me now what’s it gonna be?
    She said “you don’t know what you mean to me!”

  4. The bass shakin’ this club like its earthquakin’
    I cock arm, pass the bomb like Troy Aikman

  5. In the middle of the night there’s an old man
    Threading his toes through a bucket of rain
    Hey mister if you want to walk on water
    You’re only going to walk all over me

  6. Da da da dummmmmm
    Da da da dummmmm
    Da da da dum — ding-ding ding-ding da-ding-ding da da da da da da dummm
    (its an instrumental, that’s the best I can do)

  7. Me and Mariah, go back like babies and pacifiers!
  8. As You Can Bet I Think I’m Losing My Mind This Time
    This Time I’m Losing My Mind

  9. somethin tells me you can read my mind
    your brain is callin to me one more time

  10. Jerome! (Yes?)
    Whose Stella is this? (My Stella)
    Whose Stella is this? (My Stella)
    Then what’s she doing over here with me? (Uhh, uhh)
    What’s she doing over here with me?
    Who told U that women like men with no money?

  11. Maybe he is just a rollin stone
    Wandering from here to there
    Searching for a place to call his home
    Wonder if he even cares

  12. come on won’t you hear my story
    if you listen i will stay
    normal words are getting boring
    i am not sane i am not sane

  13. How you gonna do it
    If you really don’t want to dance
    By standing on the wall

  14. It’s my thing, and I’ll swing it the way that I feel
    With a little seduction and some sex appeal
    It’s Friday night, and I just got paid
    I’m checking out the fella with the high-top fade
    Moving in closely, ready for the kill
    Steppin’ on a dancefloor, think you’re ill
    But if I guy touch my body I just put him in check
    I said, “We just met”, “We can’t do that yet”

  15. Sunlight on a winter’s day
    The mu mu, is here to stay

  16. no need 2 worry
    no need 2 cry
    <o>´m your messiah and you´re the reason why

  17. I’m the TR-808 but just call me D-Nice
  18. With that shit you stressin, this rap profession
    Now peep Tical, the son of the Shaolin
    Isle plus my style, Criminology pays
    The last times and days, Johnny fuckin Blaze

  19. I’m the cream of the crop, I rise to the top
    I never eat a pig cause a pig is a cop

  20. father knows, my sister knows, and my friends, they’re happy for me
    the priest he says. you should thank God. for the blessing of such beauty
    and the last words that I heard him say

  21. Now, usually, I don’t do this but uh….
    Go head’ on and break ’em off wit a lil’ preview of
    the remix….

I really don’t expect anyone will get all of these, but I’m curious as to who can get which ones, so please post whichever ones you recognize… I’ll probably answer them all at some point later. One of the songs is listed in my Current Music. The trick is to figure out which one…

        1. May 4, 2004 at 7:54 am

          My first instict was “beethoven’s fifth” for the instrumental one. I’ve been told that I am wrong. But how wrong am I?

    Well, #10’s Release It, I’m willing to bet. The reference to Jerome is kind of a giveaway…

    1. May 4, 2004 at 3:26 am

      Oh, and #8 is the Beastie Boys’ So Watchya Want

            well, I can tell you if you really want me to… but how much fun would that be? You see yourselves every day, don’t you know what you look like?

            I will say that the two of you are in different pictures.

            (if you really want, I can just give it away)

          2. May 4, 2004 at 8:58 am

            heh… now I have to wonder if you really found your picture or if you’re just embarrassed to admit that you don’t really remember what you look like

          4. May 4, 2004 at 10:20 am

            Actually, Meredyth was laughing at me for not being able to see the pictures of us, too. I began to wonder if I was blind or just stupid. Turns out it was closer to the latter.

            well isn’t the wife pretty much always supposed to be smarter than the husband? I thought that was the point.

        2. May 6, 2004 at 9:40 am

          coincidence

          the pic you have of Regina (nowishhere) – I saw those photos being taken. I was walking in Schenley Park that day and wondered what was going on. It was fun to watch. 🙂 Were you the photographer? I don’t remember the photographer, just the woman posing on the wall.

            May 6, 2004 at 9:51 am

            Re: coincidence

            yeah, I took them… I used it to make this Photosketch. The whole series of photos is here. Only are you sure it was that photoshoot? I did it maybe 2 years ago, in fact, yeah, it was around carnival 2002. But when I did that particular shoot there were three girls with me.

          2. May 10, 2004 at 12:50 pm

            Re: coincidence

            The photos I saw being taken were this calendar year – since I started working here in March. So it couldn’t be the same photo shoot. But someone wearing a very similar outfit to her was posing on the same wall. How odd…

      the second one is correct… the first is tricky… You’re kinda half right…

      1. May 4, 2004 at 3:26 pm

        I’m guessing it’s “A Fifth of Beethoven” then?

            no my dear… having your ass on the background is a prize for me… 😉

            I’m surprised you noticed… most people had to be told…

          3. May 4, 2004 at 5:34 pm

            I only noticed because you told someone and I looked at it again.

          5. May 4, 2004 at 6:35 pm

            Is that the butts of cute people, or cute butts of people?

            Who cares. Either way, my ass is the only ass you need.

            No that your ass isn’t lovely, but I’ll have you know I am way too much man for a single ass,

            Hmm… that sounds a lot weirder than it was supposed to. It was supposed to just be all lecherous and naughty… instead it sounds kinda like I’m undergoing mutations or something.

  8. May 5, 2004 at 9:03 am

    power of the internet

    5. Omaha, Counting Crows
    6. only one i couldn’t look up by lyrics, i’ll go with Beethoven’s

    7. Fantasy Remix, ODB & Puff Daddy
    8. So What’Cha Want, Beastie Boys
    9. Good, Morphine
    10. Release It, Prince

      Re: power of the internet

      most of them are more or less right (one was wrong)… the artists aren’t all correct… here are notable things to mention:

      3) is Kelly Rowland featuring Nelly, or Nelly featuring Kelly Rowland (its on both of their albums)
      6) Yes, Walter Murphy and the Big Apple Band
      7) “Fantasy (Bad Boy Remix with O.D.B)”… Puff Daddy just produced it. It’s Mariah Carey Featuring the Ol’ Dirty Bastard
      10) “Release it” by Morris Day and the Time (Prince wrote it, but he wrote most of the Time’s songs. His voice is in the song but only the words “Release It” as a sample)
      17) The only song that was wrong. “D-Nice Rocks the House” by Boogie Down Productions (D-Nice was in the group. He later went solo, and did “Call Me D-Nice” which I also have, but its a different song)
      18) “Wu-Gambinos” is by the Wu-Tang Clan. Raekwon the Chef/Lou Diamonds is a member, but its a Wu-Tang song. Those lyrics in particular were by Johnny Blaze/METHOD Man
