Song meme from Trinityvixen

[chuckro]

The meme is the lyrics. Those are lyrics from songs, verbatim as close as a I knew already/googled to be absolutely sure. Now tell me the song and artist and you get a cookie. Each artist appears only once.


1. "A is for Attitude I get up and weild, A is for Arrogance, emotional shield"
A - Barenaked Ladies

2. "I was there when you were young and strong and perverted, and everything that makes a young man a star."
Surrounded - Chantal Kreviazuk

3. "In a place I know I belong, in my head I can do no wrong, and I could never be Neil Armstrong"

4. "Forgetting all I'm lacking, completely incomplete, I'll take your invitation, you take all of me"
Hanging by a Moment - Lifehouse

5. "Load up on guns and bring your friends"
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

6. "Time is flying like an arrow, and the clock hands go so fast they make the wind blow"

7. "If you could save me a place in heaven, with a clean, well-lighted room, I'd muscle up to Armageddon"

8. "You want to climb the ladder, you want to see forever"

9. "How did I become a molecule in the concrete of this city?"
Falling Down - Vertical Horizon

10. "I, man, am regal, a German am I; never odd or even, if I had a hi-fi."
Bob - "Weird Al" Yankovic



This is a really hard meme to do, at least from my attempts to decipher other people's picks. Perhaps the puzzle-solving crew will have good luck with it.

I think my ability to do your meme is damaged by the fact that I've never heard any of these songs. Ah, well. I was working on my own contribution when my work computer kicked it. Maybe I will do a musicals song lyric meme instead.

10) Bob -- Weird Al

And now you owe me a baked good, while I still owe your mom the eating of a baked good...

1 is A by the Barenaked Ladies.

[fairylane.livejournal.com]

Oh, also, 4 is Lifehouse, not Lighthouse.

[feiran.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're totally right. I always confuse those two--not musically, just names.

[feiran.livejournal.com]

And actually, while there is apparently a Lighthouse, the band that I think of when I try to call Lifehouse Lighthouse is actually Firehouse. Oh, the confusion.

I know you've heard 9; I gave it to you. (I'm shocked jethrien hasn't caught it yet.) And everyone has heard 5, they just don't realize it.

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

Points to the Canadian!

Actually maybe I'd have gotten a better response with more Canadian bands and lyrics up there...

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

That makes 9 either Joan Osborne or Vertical Horizon (I'm guessing the latter). Still don't know it.

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

Can you people not spell surrounded?

[feiran.livejournal.com]

OH! 5 is Smells Like Teen Spirit!

D'oh!

[jethrien.livejournal.com]

Sigh. Jethrien hadn't caught it yet because Jethrien didn't look at this for more than 2 seconds until now.

9 is from "Falling Down" from Running On Ice by Vertical Horizon.

[feiran.livejournal.com]

Not at the time, apparently. Looks like I wasn't too keen on moment, either.

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well chuckro misspelled it too.

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

Are you a Chantel Kreviazuk fan, then? I've been keen on her ever since I saw her open for Barenaked Ladies.

[fairylane.livejournal.com]

Chantal Kreviazuk is awesome. Yay Canada.
