Bob Marley's
Redemption
one of my favs by him....:nod:
"Lord you got me trapped woman, up on the second floor;
If I get by this time I wont be trapped no more.
So raise our window baby, I can ease out soft and slow.
And lord, your neighbors, no they wont be
Talking that stuff that they dont know."
One Way Out - The Allman Brothers. I had the right band but guessed the wrong song (Whipping Post was my guess).
Somebody besides me HAS to remember this song:
Quote:
Eshe? She went down to Holly Springs.
Rasha Don and Baba? They went down to Peachtree.
Headliner, I challenge you to a game of horseshoes,
A game of HORSESHOES!
Tennessee by Arrested Development (Love that song!!! Time to dig up that CD)
Quote:
Don't wanna hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it comin' back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do
Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes...I love the White Stripes! I'm actually listening to The Dead Weather right now which is not The White Stripes but pretty darn close...kind of. :lol: :p
Quote:
And I've been riding
On this train so long
I can't tell
If it's you or me
Who is driving us
Into the ground
Volcano-Beck..He's such a wordster
"How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be proud, easy to say no
Easy to be cold, easy to say no"
Easy To Be Hard - Three Dog Night
Quote:
In the nick of time, a hero arose
A funny-lookin' dog with a big black nose
And Bingo was his name-O? B-I-N-G-O?Quote:

I can't BELIEVE that this remains unanswered after 24 hours! What sort of culturally deprived childhoods did you people suffer through to not know these lyrics?!?
I guess I need to break it down Sesame Street style for ya:
Quote:
Up in the sky, a man in a plane
Baron von Richthofen was his name
Eighty men tried and eighty men died
Now they're buried together on the countryside
(you can tell I'm upset by the question mark-exclamation point-question mark combination :nod:)
It's Snoopy vs. The Red Baron by The Royal Guardsmen (I had to look up who sings it):banana:
Quote:
Because of pronouns, I can say:
"I wish SHE would find a rhinoceros for ME, and WE'd be happy."
You see, a pronoun was made to take the place of a noun,
'Cause saying all those nouns over and over
Can really wear you down!
Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla - Schoolhouse Rock
Quote:
In the midnight moonlight, I'll
be walking a long and lonely mile.
And every time I do,
I keep seeing this picture of you.
Here Comes My Baby - Cat Steves
(I don't know how to do the lyrics in the quote thing.)
I've been working on it baby
I've been thinking about it you see,
I've been trying to call you all day long but, you see,
I don't have your phone number, honey
I can't get next to you - Al Green
Quote:
Look at all those movie stars
They're all so beautiful and clean
When the housemaids scrub the floors
They get the spaces in between
Beverly Hills - Weezer
Quote:
Black Nepalese, it got you weak in your knees
Just seeds and dust that you got bust on
You know it's so hard to please
Newcastle Brown can sure smack you down
You take a greasy whore and a rollin' dance floor
You know you're jailhouse-bound
*grrrrrr I know this one....
My thoughts too....Quote:

Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
sometimes it pays to have kids!

On the sidewalk
And the hinges fell off of the gate
And this morning at breakfast
I spilled all the coffee
And I opened the door on my knee

Quote:
She does nothing to deserve it
He looks at her 'cause he wants to observe it
We sit back like they taught us
We keep quiet like they taught us
He just wants, he wants to prove it
She does nothing to remove it
We don't want anyone to mind us
We play the roles that they assigned us

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass

You recall the night they met was warm with laughter
The words and music as she turned away.

Quote:
I took a little nap where the roots all twist
Squished a rotten peach in my fist
And dreamed about you woman
I poked my finger down inside makin a little room for a ant to hide
Natures candy in my hand or can or a pie
Peaches - Busted (googled)
I've got a brand new attitude,
And I'm gonna wear it tonight
I'm gonna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight

Would you mind if I tried to?

You carry hate that I don't feel
It's over now, what have you done?

I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend

Pay my respects to grace and virtue

Wave goodbye
Wish me well..
You've gotta let me go
Human - The Killers

Well the girls would turn the color of an avocado
When he would drive down their street in his El Dorado
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare
Okay, this one was kind of tough. It was "Pablo Picasso" by the Modern Lovers (although the version in the movie Repo Man by the Burning Sensations is probably the most well-known version). "Pablo Picasso was never called an a**hole...not like you." Great song.

Feminists don't have a sense of humor (tsk, tsk, tsk)
Feminists just want to be alone (boo-hoo-hoo!)
Feminists spread vicious lies and rumor,
They have a tumor on their funny bone.

Slip Slidin' Away - Paul Simon
Quote:
And I shout that you're all fakes
And you should have seen the look on your face
And I guess that's what it takes
When comparing your bellyaches
And it's been a long time
Which agrees with this watch of mine
And I guess that I miss you
And I'm sorry if I dissed you
Trailer Trash by Modest Mouse (googled to revive).
I've enjoyed making you
miserable for years
found peace of mind in
playing on your fears
How I loved to catch your gold
and silver tears, but now my dear
What a dark and dreary life
Are you reaching for a knife?
Could you really kill your wife?
Yeah! Oh, Yeah! by The Magnetic Fields
Quote:
On the street where you live
Girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint
A touch of sable in their eyes
All your life all you asked
When is your Daddy gonna talk to you
But we're living in another world
Tryin' to get your message through
Runaway - Bon Jovi (no need to google)

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

It's a shame this game seems to have fallen out of favor here on the forum. It just sinks down to the bottom and off the front page time and time again. So sad.

A fight between the blue you once knew
Floating down the sound resounds
