On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favourite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.

Some of these are easy. Some are absolutely totally obscure.

1. This is my heart of hearts, I want to get your party started. And put you in the red.
   
2. pick 'em up, eat 'em up, pick 'em up beat 'em up, pick 'em up picklehead, pick 'em up picky.
   
3. I smashed a camera. I wanna know why. To my eye deciding which lies i have been hiding.
   
4. Strobe lights and blown speakers. Fireworks and hurricanes. I'm not here. This isn't happening. I'm not here. I'm not here.
   
5. When you got that spiderbite on your hand I thought we would have to break up the band.
   
6. I want to go to London. I want to sleep in Spain. I ain't no player hater but I'll kill your fuckin' game.
   
7. How can someone so inconsistent mess up so consistently?
   
8. If it feels good do it. Even if you shouldn't. Don't let people mess you around.
   
9. People they are weird and people they act strage. Get yourself together. Shake shake shake shake. Shake shake shake shake.
   
10. Give me peace and give me truth. I want to run into flowers.
    
11. Boyz. Pressing million dollar buttons. Boyz. Turning jams up to eleven
    
12. Golden streams of ice in the cold. Hold up a city of gold that lives in broad daylight.
    
13. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
    
14. Her azz is a spaceship I want to ride. Her azz. She's sexy!
    
15. So careless with my self respect I thought I could take it on.
    
16. You gotta feel that beat. And we can ride the boogie. Share that beat of love.
    
17. Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard. The transportation is here. Close enough but not too far, Maybe you know where you are. Fightin' fire with fire.
    
18. It's very ordinary for the secretary to take a man away from his wife. Girls, we make it necessary for the secretary to put a little joy in his life.
    
19. Taking out my hand. He lifts me up and we both stand. We could be in the army or the klan 'cause when we're brothers in blood then we are brothers in band. Solid is the rock of my man.
    
20. It's night time. I'm sleepy. Will you take me home? It's snowing. Out here. Will you keep me warm?

I only know what are probably the easy ones. 4, 5, 17.

[nfotxn.livejournal.com]

4. Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely
5. Flaming Lips - The Spiderbite Song
17. Talking Heads - Burning Down the House

Awesome, just in time for me to post the answers and winners. Danke!

#6 is it Goldchains?
#11 is Beck,
#13, is it Devo doing Satisfaction?
#14, N.E.R.D. with She Wants To Move (out of state?, I wonder)
#16, Michael Jackson, Rock With Me

Best of luck to everyone!

Several sound familiar but I can't place them. I only id-ed Wilco as #3. I hereby surrender my kewl guy music cred.

[notofthisworld.livejournal.com]

I can only get the Radiohead and the King Cobb Steelie ones.

[plaidninja.livejournal.com]

I recognized
The Flaming Lips
Sloan
Beck
The Hidden Cameras
and Michael Jackson (God, I love this song)

[shawnsyms.livejournal.com]

I recognized the HC's "The Man That I Am with My Man" and that was all...

Oh wait, "Rock With You," also...

[schillerium.livejournal.com]

(3) Wilco, "Kamera"
(4) Radiohead, "How to Disappear Completely"
(5) The Flaming Lips, "Spiderbite Song"
(8) Sloan, "If it Feels Good, Do It"
(15) King Cobb Steelie, "Rational"
(16) Michael Jackson, "Rock With You"
(19) The Hidden Cameras, "The Man That I Am With My Man"

I have a funny feeling I got some of the "harder" ones and missed some of the "easier" ones, though. I have to admit, though, that I only got the Michael Jackson one because it was already mentioned in an earlier comment.

(15) King Cobb Steelie, "Rational"

I thought it was "Below the Stars".

[schillerium.livejournal.com]

Whoops. You're right, it is "Below the Stars".

I guess I must surrender my Canadian indie rock crown to the superior memory.

[bfirrera.livejournal.com]

Okay...I'm apparently totally out of it...the ONLY one I recognized is the Michael Jackson one ("Rock With Me").

[beardoc.livejournal.com]

I'm amazed at the literary genius of #13. I hope they won a Grammy or something.

[notofthisworld.livejournal.com]

If it had been 13 yeahs, I would have guessed it was Lithium by Nirvana. But it's 14, so I have no clue.

[schillerium.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's something by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs?

(Yes, there really is a band by that name.)

[nfotxn.livejournal.com]

It's "Yeah" by LCD Soundsystem and it's entirely facetious.
