Music Meme! Again!

[jlh]

So I'm getting my itunes better organized and I found the smart playlist I made to do the lyrics meme a while back, so I thought I'd do it again to keep myself amused while I'm sorting and getting rid of the dupes and all that.

You know the drill. First line of the song, guess song and artist, blah blah blah babycakes.

8. "Hanging on the Telephone" - Blondie

[scrabble.livejournal.com]

17 - I'll Cry Instead, The Beatles.

[jlh.livejournal.com]

When people say to me, why do you put Clem on the top rock drummers of all time, I play them this song.

[jlh.livejournal.com]

[jlh.livejournal.com]

New Order is the one I have. Well done!

I've decided that Vienna is my Ryan song, which is so obvious people must sing it to him 45 times a day.

1. Crap. I know this song and am singing it in my head and am too tired to come up with the correct title. Sigh. Nevermind, what I thought it was and what it probably isn't the same.

8. BLONDIE! ♥! Hangin' on the Telephone!

14. Flip, know this one too and can't mentally function. I love your music collection!

[mahoni.livejournal.com]

10. Volcano, Damien Rice!

[mikeymoozer.livejournal.com]

ABBA, of course.

[jacyevans.livejournal.com]

10 - Volcano - Damien Rice
11 - Power of Goodbye - Madonna (??)

[jlh.livejournal.com]

[jlh.livejournal.com]

[jlh.livejournal.com]

[ali-wildgoose.livejournal.com]

4) OMG THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY

22) Seal, Why do we dream in metaphors (or something similiar)

[maevele.livejournal.com]

16 Blood and Fire, Indigo Girls.

[phoenixsong]

4. Ryan Adams, "New York New York"
22. Seal, "Don't Cry"

I'm positive I know 14, I can almost hear it in my head, I want to say Indigo Girls, but that's probably not right. 19 also rings a bell. Ah well, off to check the comments!

[phoenixsong]

19. Fleetwood Mac! "Say That You Love Me"

Looked up 14. AUGH. I knew I knew it!

[moony]

4. New York, Ryan Adams
14. Leaving Las Vegas, Sheryl Crow.

[aegeus.livejournal.com]

Damn, came in late!

6 - Shakermaker | Oasis? (If so I think the line is 'I'd like ...' not 'I want ...')
12 - Wow | Snow Patrol
16 - Blood and Fire | Indigo Girls (Isn't there a 'Well,' at the beginning of the line?)
18 - Precious | Pretenders
19 - Say You Love Me | Fleetwood Mac
21 - Barracuda | Heart
22 - Don't Cry | Seal .... I think?

[wednesdayschild.livejournal.com]

14 is Sheryl Crow, Leaving Las Vegas. My dad loooooved her songs, so we always had them on loop in the car when we went anywhere :D

[lillijulianne.livejournal.com]

i sort of feel as though you may have predicted some of the ones i'd get...

12. snow patrol, wow (so cakey)

18. pretenders, precious

19. fleetwood mac, say you love me. (first song played at the first concert i ever went to! tusk tour, 1979 at the garden.)

21. heart, barracuda

and #4 is itching at the edge of my mind but i cannot recall. i'm sure it's not 70s/80s...

[lillijulianne.livejournal.com]

(i should read the comments before i answer these memes, shouldn't i. aaagh.)

[jlh.livejournal.com]

Well, time zones.

6: this is entirely possible. I have to say, I was hoping you or your bf would float in here as I wasn't sure anyone else would get that one

16: Amy may do that live, but not on the studio version at least.

But these are all right! You cleaned it up man.

[jlh.livejournal.com]

I saw her in concert a long time ago, touring that record, when she opened for Crowded House. She was pretty great.

[jlh.livejournal.com]

No, actually, it's more that the Brits came in overnight and Aegy cleaned up.

And Ryan Adams IS very 70s in a lot of ways.

Also I'm not sure why people don't use Wow for more vids. I think it's one of my favorite Snow Patrol songs.

[jlh.livejournal.com]

Oh Ryan Adams and your guitar in the trunk.
