Meme stolen from the bastard

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.

   Fascination Street The Cure, found by Miss Janette

    Boys by Bauhaus, found by Miss Janette


13. "Don't touch me please, I cannot stand the way you tease"
    "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell Originally. I was listening to the Deathline International version. Many people caught this one. (edit: Miss Janette points out that this wasn't originally by SOft Cell, which I should have remembered)


14. "Got nothin' against Church, only people that go there"
    Anti-Pope by The Damned, found by Tetsab.


15. "Every record our fans buy brings me another notch closer to becoming a brain surgeon."

    "Drink and Fight" By the Mudmen. Guessed by Lizard.


20. "What we are looking at is good and evil, right and wrong. A new world order!"
    New World Order by Ministry, and caught by Tafkar

This was a hard one to do; in a couple places, I had to look up the lyrics. I also had to skip ahead a lot of times, becuase I got a lot of instrumental tracks. For bonus points, try to guess who the actual artist is; several of these are covers.

Bah at guessing the artist!

03. Sick of it all! So sick of it all!

[Er. It's the Cure off of either Wish or Wild Mood Swings. Have not the foggiest on the title].

07. Y'know, I hadn't the foggiest on this one what he sang after the 'crippled plaything' bit 'till now... but, whoo boy, I can hear that voice so well in my head:

Marilyn Manson - Tourniquet.

14. Only the people who go there! And show they're! Ignorant anddon'tunderstand!

The Damned - Antipope.

[Now I'm sad I chose to keep 'Grave Disorder' out as my one available Damned album during my move...]

[curgoth]

[Er. It's the Cure off of either Wish or Wild Mood Swings. Have not the foggiest on the title].

According to my winamp history, it's "Trap", from WIld Mood Swings. I had to look that up...

The Rasputina version is better :)

[Now I'm sad I chose to keep 'Grave Disorder' out as my one available Damned album during my move...]

That's actually the only full album I own... The Damned are high on my CDs to buy next time I feel like spending too much money on music list.

That doesn't sound one bit familiar but according to google it's correct. :)

The Rasputina version is better :)

I'm pretty sure I've never heard it before. Funky.

I'm not sure what to make of Rasputina -- I love the concept but am suspicious of the execution. Heh.

That's actually the only full album I own...

It's a very good album. I was really really expecting it to be a big stinkin' pile but ended up being very pleasantly surprised.

The one with 'Antipope' on it was the first album of theirs I got; picked it up in Penguin for $10. Yay!

In other news thanks for the Waterloo comment. :)
