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.
- I’m scared…
Cuz though we’ve just met, there’s this energy between us. - Lennon never has to sing a Paul McCartney song
- 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!” - The bass shakin’ this club like its earthquakin’
I cock arm, pass the bomb like Troy Aikman - 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 - 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) - Me and Mariah, go back like babies and pacifiers!
- As You Can Bet I Think I’m Losing My Mind This Time
This Time I’m Losing My Mind - somethin tells me you can read my mind
your brain is callin to me one more time - 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? - 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 - 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 - How you gonna do it
If you really don’t want to dance
By standing on the wall - 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” - Sunlight on a winter’s day
The mu mu, is here to stay - no need 2 worry
no need 2 cry
<o>´m your messiah and you´re the reason why - I’m the TR-808 but just call me D-Nice
- 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 - I’m the cream of the crop, I rise to the top
I never eat a pig cause a pig is a cop - 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 - 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…
im a random person..hehe but number 21 is Ignition Remix by R.Kelly 😎
yeah it is… did I do 21? I didn’t mean to… oops…
5: Counting Crows, Mr. Jones
8: Peter Gabriel, Games without Frontiers?
16: Prince, I would Die for You
19: House of Pain, Jump Around
Actually, I’m pretty sure number five is Omaha, but same artist.
2. Joytown, Kevin
5. Omaha
12. Hay Day May Day(?) Kevin Moore/Chromakey
I just know all the Kevin’s
3 out of 3…. hmmm… I guess I should have screened the comments so people couldn’t see each others answers… you know… other than the fact that I don’t actually care…
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… its actually close…
2 out of 4…
Well, #10’s Release It, I’m willing to bet. The reference to Jerome is kind of a giveaway…
Oh, and #8 is the Beastie Boys’ So Watchya Want
yup…
And, just to add one more, #15 is by The KLF. I think it’s called “No More Tears”.
correct again… btw… if you didn’t notice, welcome to my friends background. Your wife too…
Thanks! I didn’t notice. Out of curiousity, where are we in there? Or is it a “Where’s Waldo” kinda thing and you can’t say… 🙂
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)
Heh… stupid cache. I see us quite clearly now that I’m looking at the updated version.
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
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.
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.
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.
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…
Re: coincidence
well… it is a good spot. That’s why I picked it… I’m a trail blazer and stuff… I’m like 2 years ahead of the curve… Soon everyone is gonna want to be like me…
Don’t hayt the playa’. Hayt the game!
that is correct… and yet, you are the first (and only person) so far to notice that….
8. Beastie Boys “So Whatcha Want”
13. Kool & The Gang “Get Down On It”
14. Salt N Pepa “Shake Your Thang”
19. House of Pain “Jump Around”
yes to all 4…
*doing the cabbage patch*
*realizing I look stupid doing that*
*doing it anyway*
uh… 🙂
haha all the ones that i was going to say have already been said.
that’s ok… what I really want to know is who got which ones. so what did you figure out?
6. Beethoven’s Fifth
9. Morphine – “Good”
the second one is correct… the first is tricky… You’re kinda half right…
I’m guessing it’s “A Fifth of Beethoven” then?
yep…
What’s the prize?
Having my ass on your background? ;p
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…
I only noticed because you told someone and I looked at it again.
I like how myass is so nicely framed when I reply to a comment in your journal.
hmmm… maybe i should kill the whole background concept and do a new collage that’s just cute people’s butts…
Is that the butts of cute people, or cute butts of people?
Who cares. Either way, my ass is the only ass you need.
hmmm… I guess the second…
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.
I’m not able to come up with a clever sassy retort at this time.
that’s because you are all stunned and enamored by my rugged machismo…
its called the Vapors…
You’d think I would be used to that feeling by now, seeing that I am constantly exposed to your…
…what was that again?
…having trouble thinking…
…must be those darn Vapors…
yep… the ladies swoon… its not easy being this sexy…
’tis true: ’tis true ’tis pity;
And pity ’tis ’tis true.
hmmm… I’m not even sure what that means…
It means, “it’s all about the ass.”
I can dig it…
I’ma dumbass
I don’t know any of these but this one…. “Lennon never has to sing a Paul McCartney song” I HAVE to know, what is he/she trying to say about my Paul?
Re: I’ma dumbass
should be posting the answers soon…
That line is from Joytown by Kevin Gilbert… its a great song.

1. We Can Funk, Prince
2. Joytown, Kevin Gilbert
3. Dilemma, Kelly Rowland
4. We Pop, RZA
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

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
