Song Lyrics Game

[mere1975]

We've done this before, and it's fun (especially for those of us at work.)

Post a lyric (don't be too douche-baggily obscure please) and next person identifies song/band. Then they post a lyric. Yes?

I'll start out with an oldie and a goodie.


"I hope you know this will go down on your permanent record!"

- Mere "oh yeah?" 1975

[katie]

kiss off, violent femmes! (good one, mere!)

"i'm always so dubious of your intent / like i can't afford to replace what you spent."

ka"GO!"tie

[ChrisLovesYou]

Heimdalsgate like a Promethean Curse. I think I spelled one of those words wrong. It's of Montreal, though.

"I'm not a real doctor, but I AM a real worm, I am an actual worm, I live like a worm."

[Irock]

Dr Worm, TMBG

*really wanted to post something from Velvet Goldmine but Mere's warning put me off it*

"I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck"

edit: it actually could be "lonesome," rather than "lonely." Yeah I think it's "lonesome."

[mere1975]

Don McLean - American Pie
(Think you had it right with "lonely.")

"They call me hell, they call me Stacy, they call me her, they call me Jane"

- Mere "newer one" 1975

[katie]

the ting tings - that's not my name!!! (jason and i went through a two week obsession with the ting tings and would blast the cd through dallas whilst singing and dancing in the car.)

"my mouth is full, your heart is an apple."

ka"sta-CEY"tie

[edit] is this too hard? i can redo if it is. [/edit]

[eebs]

arcade fire - my heart is an apple

"I came in here for the special offer, a guaranteed personality"

[Dalya]

the clash - lost in the supermarket

"hello, world, here's a song that we're singin'"

(easy but it makes me giggle)

[ChrisLovesYou]

Come on Get Happy by the Partridge Family, of course.

This one, I think, is a bit of a departure from usual Forkers fare:

I'm tossin', enforcin', my style is awesome
I'm causin' more Family Feuds than Richard Dawson

[katie]

that would be "wu tang clan ain't nuthin' to f' wit" by the wu-tang clan.

"my heart's in the basement / my weekend's at an all-time low"

[mere1975]

"my heart's in the basement / my weekend's at an all-time low"

Internet says it is Queen Bitch by Bowie?? I only looked it up so we can move on. (1 point to Katie, or something like that!)


"The world is collapsing around our ears, I turn up the radio"

- Mere "hey hey hey hey" 1975

[sam]

Radio Song, R.E.M. (Is it cheating that I was in the car when you (probably) last heard this on Friday?)

"Pickin up the pieces, nephews and nieces. Chocolate in a peanut butter cup, called Reese's"

[aquaphase]

Ahh! Radio Station by Run DMC


here we go, one for the money, two for the show / Now clap your hands if you got a bank roll

[Irock]

Hurricane Chris - Hand Clap?
ok, I cheated. But nobody knew it.

Easy one:
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery say he must go free

[aquaphase]

Hurricane Chris - Hand Clap?
ok, I cheated. But nobody knew it.

Actually, it's Lil' Wayne - Got Money
