Lyrics meme, again.

[labellementeuse]

Done this one before, but it's fun, so woo.

1. Shuffle your playlist.
2. Of the first 25 songs that come up, no matter how embarassing, put your favourite lyric on your LJ. Try not to include the title.
3. Open season to your f-list to see who can guess the most songs.
4. Strike the songs off as they are guessed correctly. No cheating like duh.

This one's gonna be more interesting I think- I have more songs and more friends. *amused*



1. Down by the riverside/is bound to be a better ride/than what you've got planned.

This IS 50 Ways to Leave your Lover, which persephone_kore got, but I am fairly sure it's not S&G, so artist is still open. (I could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure S&G never recorded this one.) Nope, I was wrong- they did it for the Concert in Central Park. I have what I think is the original version from Simon's career after the breakup and before the concert, but never mind, she's got it. :)

22. I'm wishin' you the best

And Desiree and Dave, I"M SORRY to both of you. It was my mother. *forkstabs* Stupid bloody Telemann...

ETA: Um, people keep saying 10 is "familiar" and now I'm half amused, half guilty- so I left out a word between "knees" and "I'm begging," and that word is the title of the song. Okay? XD

Whee.

[tanizard.livejournal.com]

Nooo, it's Verona by Elemeno P!

[disturbed-kiwi.livejournal.com]

Y'know, you're right.

I blame 'The Girl From McD's' because I don't hear those lyrics with that tune anymore...

[tanizard.livejournal.com]

Ah, see, I haven't heard that yet, so I've yet to be corrupted.

Although I have heard Drunken Pilot Coma to the same tune. <3 Stables Labels Vol. 3.

Bill and Ben from The Rock did it.

[disturbed-kiwi.livejournal.com]

I went into Mc'D's
She said, 'can I take your order please.'
And she smiles when she sees me
Because its company policy
Hows it ba-by
"Chocalate sundae, plastic spoon"
"Extra sauce eh?"
"Okay" *giggles*
The girl at Mcd-e-e-e's.

and after getting her to come out with the singer

I had a quater pounder with my big mac.
Special sauce on her six pack.
Now she smiles when she sees me
Because its company policy
How's it bab-by?
"Chocalte sundae, plastic spoon, f*ck off"
"ohh feisty"
The girl at McD-e-e-e's

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

I like this game too- I've probably done it about five times bu it;s different every one. XD Although I think i've had The Boxer Ever time... *amused*

[persephone-kore.livejournal.com]

2. "California Dreaming" -- The Mamas and the Papas

14. "Please Please Me" -- The Beatles, I think.
21. "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" -- Simon and Garfunkel strike again
23. "Who Will Save Your Soul"? -- can't remember the artist

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that's heaps. :D Good ones, too...

[sennical.livejournal.com]

7. Sounds like one of the songs on the Shrek soundtrack.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

It is, actually. But which one?

(So's 13, BTW. :p)

[miriamus.livejournal.com]

6 - Elemeno P, Verona
9 - AVRIL! haaa.
10 - Vaguely know, not sure.
14 - Beatles, Please Please Me
22 - Destiny's Child, Survivor
24 - Queen, Killer Queen

*didn't read other answers, all these are sure to have been said*

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

They have, but no worries. :-P

[miriamus.livejournal.com]

I'm doing this now myself, in fact!

[persephone-kore.livejournal.com]

I don't know who else sang "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover," but it's on my parents' copy of Simon and Garfunkel's "Concert in Central Park," and I'm pretty sure that's their voices in the version I hear on the radio now and again.

It's listed sixth from the end here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005JLEM/102-9179309-5373704?v=glance&s=dvd&n=507846&vi=tech-info) on Amazon under "Edition Details," though.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I see. I have the original Paul Simon version from his solo career- i think "There Goes Rhymin' Simon." Anyway I have it on the "Best of Paul Simon" double disc.

Anyway, it's yours. :p

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see.

Well, I suppose it's possible Garfunkel just stood around during that song...

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

XD yeah, I guess. :p

Actually, I think they palyed stuff from his albums together there- I'm petty sure Art has done quite a few PS covers, which is kinda sad. I used to talk about them with my music teacher and we could never agree- he thought it was Art's voice that made the duo, I thought it was PS's songwriting. I still think I'm right, of course, but Art really did/does have a truly amazing amazing voice, he just couldn't do much else.

Ooh, that's a little harsh. But Paul's always been my favourite anyway. :p

[megaffe.livejournal.com]

18. No Angel - Dido
I know I recognise some of the other unguessed ones, but you know I'm hopeless with titles.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

*g* I thought that one would go in about ten seconds.

You know 13. Really, you do. The title's really obvious too.

[miriamus.livejournal.com]

Oh by the way (yeah I could have emailed but I don't want to) Erin reckons it would be a good idea for the three of us to see a movie together sometime :)

[miriamus.livejournal.com]

Did you read that comment there?

[nzlemming.livejournal.com]

1 is Hazy Shade of Winter by Simon and Garfunkel (and the Bangles)
10 is Layla by Eric Clapton (as Derek and the Dominoes)
16 is The Boy in the bubble by Paul Simon (Graceland Album)

[nzlemming.livejournal.com]

and 7 is Stay Home by Self ;-)

[nzlemming.livejournal.com]

and 13 is Like Wow - Leslie Carter, I think (the Shrek clue tipped me on that one)

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Woo, well done! XD All right... v nice especially because I felt kinda guilty about Layla. ;)
