Something completely different

A meme!

I'll give you lyrics, you name the title and artist:


1) "So needless to say / I'm odds and ends / but I'll be stolen away"

2) "All I can say is that my life is pretty plain"

3) "You twist my words to ease your mind / Don't stand there smiling at me"

4) "Someone's gonna sue for an answer / Someone's gonna sue 'cause they can't forget"

5) "I'll burn this lonely house down / If you run with me"

6) "A policeman knew my name / He said you can go sleep at home tonight / If you can get up and walk away"

7) "Just the kindness I've lavished on strangers / Is more than I can explain"

8) "See the kids in the street / Without enough to eat / Who am I to be blind / pretending not to see their need?"

9) "I recommend biting off more then you can chew to anyone (I certainly do) / I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time (Feel free)"

10) "And I'll know when it's right like a voice in the night / And the right shade of tangerine"

11) "There are designated angels who just might save your soul / They give me words to live by - and that's all that I know"

12) "Everybody look at your hands"

13) "And keep your eyes open, the chance won't come again / And don't speak too soon, the wheel's still in spin"

14) "So I'm lying here, just staring at the ceiling tiles / and I'm thinking about what to think about."

15) "'Cause love's such an old fashioned word / And love dares you to care for / The people on the edge of the night"

#2 is correct. #6 and #9, you got the band right, but the song wrong.

#6: Who Are You, by The Who

[jethrien.livejournal.com]

Is it sad how few of these I can place, given that I have access to your entire music collection?

7) 39 Flavors, Ani di Franco
9) is Alanis Morissette, but I'll be damned if I can remember which one
12) THE SAFETY DANCE! by...ummm...Men with Hats, I think? Did they do anything else?
15) Under Pressure, by the 80s. Yay charity tracks. Ok, yeah, it was Bowie and Queen, but somehow it just feels like more random people.

Ani is only 32 Flavors. Well, okay, "and then some".

Also, the angry Renn Faire man is a member of Men Without Hats. You can tell by the lack of hats.

9: Its definitely an Alanis song but I'm not sure which one. I want to say "everything" or "you learn" but I think I'm wrong.

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

Dind ding ding! It's "You Learn".

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

There ya go.

Damn it, I knew that as soon as I went off to lunch. It's "Who Are You" not "Won't Get Fooled Again." Stupid. As for the ALanis song, I haven't listened to a thing from her in maybe a decade, so I give myself a pass on that one, even if I didn't get it right.

Well, people already got most of what I know, but 14 is Brian Wilson by the Barenaked Ladies.

(8) is Michael Jackson... um... "Man In The Mirror"? (But for some reason I keep thinking it's "No One Is To Blame" by Howard Jones...)

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

You are correct, sir. Though I prefer the UPenn Off the Beat version of the song.
