Ok, here's how to play. it's really easy to sing along to a song when it's on the radio but when you have no music it's really easy to forget verses and words etc. so i am going to sing a song to the best of my memory without cheating by looking up the lyrics then i'll name 3 well-known tunes for someone else to choose the the one they know best and sing to the best of their knowledge and then name 3 songs of their own for the next person, if this works out it should provide some good chuckles. ok i'll start with Jane's Addiction's Been Caught Stealin':

been caught stealing, once, when i was 5, i enjoy stealing, it's just as simple as that, well, when i want something and i don't want to pay for it, i walk right, through the door, i walk right through the door, and it's mine, mine all mine, oh my girl, she's one too, she's gonna steal a shirt, stick it under her skirt, and grab a razor for me, and she'll walk right, through the door, she'll walk right through the door, and its mine, mine all mine, it's mine mine mine all mine.

ok, next person gets:

who are you - the who
paint it black - rolling stones
immigrant song - led zeppelin

Sing 4 me!

Paint It Black? Hey, I know that song! Goes like "I see a red <cough> and I want to paint it black, no colors anymore I want it to turn black, na nanana fade away tu-du-dum, I have to turn my head and crap I have no idea what goes next, and then the guitar solo's like na na na na na na na na na nana naaaa, hey, couldn't we pick French songs instead?"

OK, next one please:
Shiny Happy People - REM
The Message - Grandmaster Flash & the Furious 5
Come Together - The Beatles

[edit: God, this thread has had even less viewers than floop's "need more ink cartridge varieties" thread.]

I've tried to get into this game. Really, I have. But every
time I check in here all I can do is hear you two sing those
songs and, though I am not actually hearing you sing them, I can
hear you sing out of tune. Which is not fair to either of you.

I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally boring, I am the son and heir of nothing in particular. You shut your mouth! I can be saved! I go about things the wrong way. I am human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does.

i know another song by roxy if that's ok...

I could feel at the time
there was no way of knowing
falling leaves in the night
who can say where they're going
as free as the wind
hopefully learning
why the sea and the tide
has no way of turning

more than this!

dig that song.


ok, if you'll take that, i'll give ya three more.

Happy Trails...Roy Rogers & Dale Evans
Life's a Gas...T-Rex
sabotage...beastie boys

Denis, help me out if I mess up, I'm gonna do
Virginia Plain by heart. Here goes:

"Make me a deal and make it straight,
All signed and sealed, I'll take it
To Robert E. Lee I'll show it
I hope and pray he don't blow it 'coz
We've been around a long time just try... try... try... tryin' to
Make the big time.....
Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six days wonder
But don't you, don't you throw my pride aside besides
What's real and make believe
Baby Jane's in Acapulco
We are flyin' down to Rio
Throw me a line I'm sinking fast
Clutching at straws can't make it
Havana sound we're trying hard edge the hipster jiving
Last picture shows down the drive-in
You're so sheer
You're so chic
Teenage rebel of the week
Flavors of the mountain steamline
Midnight-blue casino floors
Dance the cha-cha through till sunrise
Open up exclusive doors, oh wow!
Just like flamingos look the same
So me and you, just we two
Got to search for something new
Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
Where my Studebaker takes me
That's where I'll make my stand but wait
Can't you see that Holzer mane?
What's her name?
Virginia plain


Phew!


I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics

Someday I'll feel no pain, someday I won't have a brain, and they'll take away the part that hurts and let the rest remain. Fix me, fix my head, fix me please, I don't wanna be dead. Someday we'll all be rich, someday I won't listen to you bitch, I'll turn up the volume and [something something] just for you.
