thehefner: (Muldoon Lives!)

(I kinda to more than just one line for some of these, but then again, these aren't exactly the most common and popular songs out there, so it all works out. I'd be very interested to see who gets what. I love this meme, and will do it again sometime, I think!)

+ Open your playlist and click "shuffle."
+ Choose the first 20 songs.
+ Write your favorite line of each song and have your friends guess what it is.
+ Friends: Don't Google the lyrics. You actually have to know the songs.



1.) She made a monkey out of old King Kong. I hope that something better comes along.

2.) Once a fool, had a good part in the play. Well if it's so, will I still be here today? It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way. They think it's very funny everything I say

3.) Let the poets struggle to describe your heart, your art of love and your love of art. Well if you ever loved me tell me so, as you turn to go

4.) So here she's acting happy inside her handsome home. And me, I'm flying in my taxi, taking tips, getting stoned.

5.) I should warn you, I go to sleep. I know you don't know what I mean. Yet.

6.) Maybe I'm still hurting, I can't turn the other cheek. But you know that I still love you, it's just that I can't speak. I looked for you in everyone, they called me on that too. I lived alone, but I was always coming back to you.

7.) And there's no place I'd rather kiss than your sweet face, oh, when it's smiling.

8.) Hit the wheel and double the stakes, throw it wide open like a bat outta hell you crash the gate (crash the gaaaate!)

9.) And you'll dance with me, in the rain maybe, but we won't really mind. In the end we'll find it was just a dance and our little romance, it'll fall to dust. But only just if you dance with me.

10.) Freedom is a word I rarely use without thinking, oh yeah, without thinking, mm-hmm, of the time (of the time) of the time (of the time) when I've been loved.

11.) When the Devil comes blowing through your door, you'll know there's trouble and he's coming back for more. You'd better keep what is precious hidden under the floor. Or you'd better treat it so good it'll never want for more.

12.) The one I should not think of keeps running through my mind, and I don't want to let that go. No lover's ever faithful, no contract truly signed, there's nothing certain left to know. And how the cracks begin to show.

13.) And when the woman that you wanted goes, you can say to yourself, "well I give what I give!" But the woman who won't wait for you knows that however you live there's a part of you always standing by, mapping out the sky, finishing a hat.

14.) You say I'm putting you on, but it's no joke, it's doing me harm. You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain, you know it's three weeks, I'm going insane! You know I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind.

15.) I wonder why I live alone here. I wonder why we spend these nights together. Is this the room I lived my life forever? I wonder why in L.A. To live and die in L.A.

16.) Did you think I didn't have to choose, that I alone could win or lose it? In all those places we were hiding love? What was it we were thinking of?

17.) Well I'm sorry that I love you. It's a phase I'm going through. There is nothing I can do. And I'm sorry that I love you.

18.) All the kids they hold a grudge, you failed now they won't forget it. All the kids are tired and turned away. They saw what you did, you're all wrong and all the kids are right.

19.) You said "Don't forget about me, don't forget about me," like I could ever forget about you. How could I just change my mind?

20.) Nothing good lasts forever and sometimes nothing starts. Julie Ocean, always on fire. Julie Ocean, crazy desire. That's typical girl.

So I've randomely butted myself in on two other journals where people had done this meme, and I told myself I wouldn't do it again here. But you, you bastard, had to go an quote Harry. How I love Harry with all my heart. All my broken, bruised, melodramatic heart. So here are the ones I got.

1. I Hope The Something Better Comes Along(Maybe that's the title?) by Rowlf and Kermit in the Muppet Movie. God Bless you for quoting the Muppets.
4. Taxi, by Harry Chapin. Oh my God it just breaks my heart.
14. I'm So Tired, The Beatles. Way to rock on.

Hey, random person of whom I know absolutely nothing about, thanks for chiming in! And congrats for getting Harry Chapin, because there's only one other person I know who would actually recognize it. Although to be fair it was kind of a trick question, because the song I actually pulled it from was Harry Chapin's "Taxi Sequel." Because my playlist and I are sneaky like that.

Now be honest, would you have gotten that if I hadn't put "finishing a hat" at the end?

From: [identity profile] dormsquirrel.livejournal.com
Yes, because that's the only song from that play that I know any of the words too. :o)

Though having the title in it did help. ;o)

I got one...
