Playlist Meme

[judecorp]

Stolen from yarnaddict, slytherindyke, and the birthday girl michael622:

1. Put your playlist on shuffle.
2. Post the first lines to the first 25 songs to come up (along with these instructions).
3. Have people guess the songs and artists in comments to the post.
4. Post the answers to the ones people guessed correctly. A couple of days later, post the first two lines of the ones no one got and get people to guess again.
5. Repeat, adding the next line to the unguessed songs each time, until they're all guessed/you've posted the whole song/you've gotten bored/no-one's going to get the damn thing if you don't tell them.

1. Freedom and blood, I make my mark and fight for tomorrow. Tegan and Sara - Proud

10. Remember, boy, that your forefathers died. Lost in millions for a country's pride.

1. Tegan and Sara - Proud
7. - oh carp - who sung this? and isn't that the title? "Judy's turn to cry" ?
16. James - Laid
17. Ani DiFranco - Both Hands

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's the title. A bunch of songs came up with the title in the first line. How annoying! (Towards the end I cheated and skipped a couple more that were like that.)

#8 is Eminem's "What I am", right? And #16 is James' "Laid" for sure. I probably know more fo them...but it's late and I'm tired ;-P~

Lame. Me.

I only knew, "but she only comes, when she's on top." But they sound interesting. I can't wait to see what they are 'cause I'll download 'em.

Lame.

7 - leslie gore - judy's turn to cry?
15. dar williams - flinty kind of woman
17. ani difranco - both hands

[oxlahun.livejournal.com]

Several of them are familiar, but #23 is the only one I know both title and artist for. That's "We Built This City", by Starship.

[thespian.livejournal.com]

3. New York's My Home - a standard, but I'll guess Robert Goulet. Or this might be Open Letter to NYC by the Beasties, but I thought the New York's My Home sample was later than the start.
7. Judy's Turn to Cry - Lesley Gore, though the copy I have is by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and I know there's a cover by Tracey Ullman
13. Pretty in Pink, Psychedelic Furs
20. Instant Pleasure by Rufus Wainwright
23. We Built This City by Jefferson Starship and I am so embarrassed.

[thespian.livejournal.com]

Judy's Turn to Cry has always struck me as the most vengeful song on the planet, btw.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Ha! I just like it because it, like, has my name in it and stuff.

(And I like the vengence, yo! And I like that it's the sequel to "It's My Party.")

23.
Don't be embarrassed. At least you did get the name of the group wrong. They had shortened it to just "Starship" by that point.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Nope, the sample is at the start of "Open Letter to New York." At least the version that I have anyway. Good job!

#4 is The Magnetic Fields - all my little words

[gimmeapony.livejournal.com]

The only one I know is #13: Psychedelic Furs, Pretty in Pink.

[rizzo41.livejournal.com]

#14 is "House of Bamboo" by Southern Culture on the Skids

[cfred.livejournal.com]

#9...Is that "Telephone Man" by...ack! Can't think of her name right now!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Nope!

[smurfbrother.livejournal.com]
