10. "Imagine being a Kennedy/fool without a remedy/to watch your family die/world loves the sacrifice"
Glad I'm not a Kennedy, Shona Laing I actually knew this one but since I'd never, ever heard the song, only the name, I thought I'd better not guess... hehe.

19. "It's late at night, I'm feeling down/There are couples standing on the street sharing summer kisses and silly sounds..."
Radio, The Corrs. (the Corrs unpluggoed, I think; could be Best Of.) DAMMIT! I should have know that one...

And number 20.... *guffaw* No, I'm not really kicking myself XP

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Yeah... :p Such a good song, though. very political, and stuff.


19- heh, yeah. And twenty...? :D

[miriamus.livejournal.com]

Why are you saying we should know it? :P

[miriamus.livejournal.com]

(It's a very obscure line of the song)

[sixth-light.livejournal.com]

Because there are only eight lines in the song, and she expects us to know all of them. She overlooks the fact that we are not English soccer fans. :P

[miriamus.livejournal.com]

Or that that song only makes me think of one thing, the image I saw when I first heard it at the age of three - one of those big boat swings only it's coming out of the sky, and it's shaped like a purple stagecoach. When you get associations like that so young they stay there forever.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Miriam, you at least have sung it. it was a House music song a bit back.

And hello, EVERYONE knows that song. *HEADDESK*

Eight lines.

Eight.
And lots of them are repeats.

jeeze, I don't know, honestly.


And who are you calling an English soccer fan, missy?

[miriamus.livejournal.com]

It wasn't house music that I remember!!! Are you sure it wasn't 1998?

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

yep. :D
