Name says it all. You give a snippet of a rock song and people try and guess the song its from and the band/individual who sings it. If no one gets it in the first 2 posts you post a hint. If no one for 5 after that you give it up.
If you get it right you post the next song.

I'll go first-
"I Know it's most unusual to come before you so. I found an ancient miracle I thought that you should know"

Not that hard, right?

Can we say that the person who answers correctly also posts the next snippet, thus giving the game some momentum?
 
Posted by A Drummer (Member # 9807) on :
 
Yeah, I'll add that to the first post to make it clearer.

I was shocked to look up and see Rita Hayworth there in a place so seeded.

Sure that's not "a place so seedy"?

Planet Telex by Radiohead.


Here's mine:

"I want to write the perfect song, and play it just for you while you are tangled up in sleep. I need you more than I'll ever know. Until I stop breathing, my lungs will take you for granted."

seeded... seedy... point of view really... it fits so well with the rest of the verses that its hard to tell the difference... you obviously know the song though KarlEd, I think we have similar tastes in music.

"Wild Night," first by Van Morrison and remade by John Mellencamp & Michelle N'dageocello (sp?!?!)

Mine:

"I went to see the doctor of philosophy
with a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
he never did marry or see a B-grade movie
he graded my performance, he said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
got my paper and I was free"

My next one:

"...That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now..."

Metallica. It's either One or Sanitarium....I think it's One.

It's "Running Blind" by Godsmack.

Can you guess who and what this is?

"Mayday every day, in my heart.
Could've had a heart attack, in my heart.
We don't know anything, in my heart.
We all want something fair, in my heart."

Here is my next one...

"...Nothin' satisfies, but I'm gettin' close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope..."

That's "All My Life" by Foo Fighters.

Here's mine:

"Everthing tastes the same, in my eyes
Every day, every taste, in my eyes"
 
Posted by striplingrz (Member # 9770) on :
 
Steve, you trying to confuse people? Thats Nirvana - Tourettes. A different verse this time you sly dog. LOL

Here is my next one...

"...Like a movin' heartbeat in the witching hour
I'm runnin' with the wind, a shadow in the dust ..."

Def Leppard, at their peak, Animal.

Man, I'm am going to have to dig out that tape cassette and give that album a well stretched out listen to

Here is my next one:

"I don't know what when or why
The twilight of love had arrived"

By the way, I believe the actual lyric is "you can test it but it will not foam". 'taste it but it will not form' makes no sense.
 
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
 
I felt like reviving this thread, so guess this song:

"When I was spat onto the earth in a stream of guts/By Mother Nature, that green-eyed slut"
 
Posted by RivalOfTheRose (Member # 11535) on :
 
"hate everyone" - say anything

"you don't form in the wet sand, you don't form at all / you don't form in the wet sand, I do."
 
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
 
I may know the answer, but I'd rather give someone else the chance since I just posted a song lyric. [Smile]

"Wet Sand" - Red Hot Chili Peppers

"You say that money, isn't everything,
But I'd like to see you live without it."

I didn't think so."

Baby Did a Bad Thing, by Chris Isaak

Here's mine:
"Slowly the day breaks apart in our hands
And soft hallelujahs flow in from the church"

And an extra one:
"My life's an open book,
You read it on the radio"
 
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
 
First one: "Daybreak" by Snow Patrol?

Extra credit: "Wrecking Ball" by Neil Young

Next up:

"I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes
-And-
I certainly haven't been spreading myself around"
 
Posted by Phillyn (Member # 12597) on :
 
Yeah, I'll give it to you SteveRogers, the song is actually called The Lightning Strike, but it's a 3-part song and those lines are from the third part, called Daybreak.
 
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
 
Ah, blast. My girlfriend listens to them sometimes, so that's the only reason I knew it. But I clearly am not personally familiar enough with it know the difference. [Big Grin]
