Lyrical Pursuit
 

I'm going to steal a different type of trivia game from a local radio station. The object is to write two lines of lyrics from a well known song, nothing too obscure please. If someone gets it right, they do the next song. This is edited because of Saut's post below: Thou shalt not Google! Why take the fun out of the game. The same rules should apply as in the Music trivia thread. 24 hours should be the limit, then whoever stumped the panel should post another set of lyrics, hopefully a little easier!
Here are my two lines:

the museum director's with their high shaking heads

they kick white shadows until they play dead

The Cars - Dangerous Type

Next:

The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye
Says, "Wha'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy!"

Bob Dylan - Hurricane


You're asking me will my love grow?
I don't know, I don't know

While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles



City girls just seem to find out early,
how to open doors with just a smile.

Lyin' Eyes - The Eagles

"one punch, that's all it took (oooh) he hit me in my ribs and my insides shook!
now how can I say this and be a little discreet, let's just say, that my bowels released"

Google has really taken the fun out of these kind of games.

No googling should be allowed. Only dishonest people google in these type's of games

I have a form of Google running inside my head. I have a jukebox that just plays songs all day. Some I like, some I don't.

I hear part of a song and then it is stuck in my head the rest of the day.

I had the Eagles through my head the day I put in the lyrics above.

Google, I don't need no stinkin Google. I can name just about any classic rock song from the lyrics.

Now the funny part, I have no friggin idea what song Mephex posted. :lol:

Well, that's the idea. Idn'it ?

If you don't know, use Google. Just have fun with it. If you're going to use Google every time, I don't see how that would be any fun for you, or anyone else ;)

Well Mephex.. looks like you have a stumper, now how about some new lyrics. By the way, love your avatar, who is she?

<- Erica Campbell

"one punch, that's all it took (oooh) he hit me in my ribs and my insides shook!
now how can I say this and be a little discreet, let's just say, that my bowels released"

DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince - And in this corner.

Okay okay, I'll try to use stuff from before 1980.
Lemme know if it's too tough, but I can't make'em easy either :cool:

"So where were the Spiders
While the flies tried to break our balls"

Ziggy Stardust- David Bowie
Ok- here goes:


No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress

Hint:
Title song of album by this New Jersey native

Well looks like a stumper, so I'll do an easier one!

Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn't take too long

Boston: Piece of Mind


next:

The measure of the depth can be deceiving.

The bottom has a rocky reputation

Man... I know this! I just can't put the tune to it!

You'll kill yourself when you hear it, perripken.

It's Joe Walsh's "The Confessor"

Took me awhile too, I could hear it in my head, but couldn't place it.


Here's one you should get.

"Left alone with big fat Fanny
She was such a naughty nanny

Fat Bottomed Girls - Queen

That was an easy one.

How bout this one

You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis

Doooooh, where's the gun? I love that tune, too!

I'm no Beatles pro, but I know these words to be from "Something" off their 1969 release Abbey Road.
Who's right?

you are right neato

Man.... I can't believe the God of Thunder made such a mistake!....
Hangs his head in shame for the GOT.

I hang my head in shame for myself.

I can't believe I made that blunder either.

The only thing I have to say for myself is that they are both Harrison tunes. And that is the weakest excuse there is, but it is the only one I have.

I sentence myself to 2 hours of polka.


aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, at least I got the Joe Walsh one right

Polka! No..... don't do it GOT! DON'T DO IT!

The last one was Incubus - Megalomaniac

next:

she said i'll throw myself away
they're just photos after all

Queens of the Stone Age - Go With the Flow

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death Greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye

Fade to Black - Metallica



All this machinery
Making modern music
Can still be open-hearted....

Spirit of Radio, Rush



Well I stand up next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand

Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile


See a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words?

You have a stumper KWSN, need some new lyrics and the answer to this one.

I guess I'll try to kick start this thing again. People, please check back from time to time if you have a question on the board!


The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery

I don't know if it's lack of interest because of the NFL Draft, or what. I'm going to give the answer because I won't be around tomorrow. Someone else will have to pick this thing up. It was The End, the Doors.

now dang it perripken, I knew that one...


anyway, here's a new couplet:


I got a right to go to work, but they shut it down.
I got a right to go to work, but there's no work here to be found.

don't know sion's, but mine was Meat Puppets (or Nirvana covering Meat Puppets) - Plateau

Sorry man... I had it on the board for over 7 hours. I knew I wouldn't be able to check back in until monday, so I answered it!
Now, we need the answer to yours and a new one. It's been over 24 hours.

I guess I'll try to kickstart this thing again.... I guess I'm not getting as much interest as the music trivia thread.
Sion.... you had a stumper, but you didn't check back. I ended up googling for the answer. You didn't quite have the lyrics correct anyway.
They're supposed to be:
I used to have a job, but they shut it down.
I got a right to go to work, but there's no work here to be found.
Dire Straights- "Telegraph Road"

Anyways, here are my new lyrics:

Greedy little people in a sea of distress
Keep your more to receive your less

give it away, chili peppers

dear diary, tonight will be our last
my hands are itching for razors

ok, so it was the black dahlia murder, closed casket requiem, someone else go

Ok, I'll give it a go.

We tried to wash our hands of all of this

We never talk of our lack in relationships

Damn.... I know these lyrics..... just can't put the tune to it.....
argggghhhhhh.....!!!!!!!!
