Musical Trivia

Thanks to Koko's blog for this game....

Bry, how ironic eh? You can play this version instead of the real one you were talking about last week...

The Rules:
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

*note* feel free to guess on mine even if you dont' plan on creating your own list :)

Ok, these are from my mp3 player so they are the current preferred selection of my eclectic musical tastes...

Here goes -

1. When I was just a little girl I asked my mother what will I be / Will I be pretty, will I be rich? / Here's what she said to me [*hint for the specific artist* - from a soundtrack]["Que Sera Sera" - Sly and the Family Stone; Take the Lead soundtrack]

2. Oh my love it makes me sad / Why did things turn out so bad / Was it just a dream / Everything we did / Everything we had

3. Can you feel the hype / Can you feel it in your body (can you feel it) / Can you feel it in your body (can you feel it) /Coz I can feel it in my body (I can feel it) ["Feel It" - Black Eyed Peas]

4. Blue skies / Smiling on me / Nothing but blue skies / Do I see [but which artist ;)] [Yes Likalia, it is "Blue Skies" not Rod Stewart though; he covered that?!]

5. I got rhythm /I got music / I got my man ...[cutting out a section here otherwise you've no hope of geting it]...Who could dance with us / Who could stand with us / Look at us tonight / We lookin' fabulous ["I Got Rhythm" - Lena Horne & QTip; Take the Lead]

6. I hope you never lose your sense of wonder / Get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger / May you never take one single breath for granted ["I Hope You Dance" - Lee Ann Womack]

7. Please baby don't (baby don't) / Don't fall in love with me / Please baby don't (baby don't) / You know my history ["Please Baby Dont" - John Legend; off Sergio Mendes' new album Timeless]

8. Johnny take a walk with your sister the moon / Let her pale light in to fill up your room / You've been living underground / Eating from a can ["She Moves In Mysterious Ways" - U2]

9. Said it's wrong but you know that / The look on his face means he'll be back again / See you later ["Shelter" - Bedouin Soundclash]

10. Across the street the river runs / Down in the gutter life is slipping away / Let me still exist in another place /Running under cover of a helicopter blade ["Rhythm of my Heart" - Rod Stewart]

11. I know your eyes in the morning sun / I feel you touch me in the pouring rain / And the moment that you wander far from me / I wanna feel you in my arms again ["How Deep Is Your Love" - The Bee Gees (which according to Likalia is the artist she meant to put down for this one)]

12. You and I can share the silence / Finding comfort together / The way old friends do

13. Weren't you the one that said, that you don't want me anymore. / And how you need your space, and give the keys back to your door / And how I cried and tried and tried to make you stay with me ["Karma" - Alicia Keys]

14. Quando sono solo / Sogno all’orizzonte / E mancan le parole / Si lo so che non c’e luce / In una stanza quando manca il sole / Se non ci sei tu con me, con me [duet]

15. Some of these days / I wanna bust some heads / Some of these days / I'd rather lie in bed / Some of these days / I'm out trynna get love [didn't I mention a soundtrack earlier?] ["These Days" - Rythmfest; yes, more from Take the Lead]

16. Throw my ticket out the window / Throw my suitcase out there, too / Throw my troubles out the door / I don't need them any more ["Tonight I'll be Staying Here With You" - Bob Dylan]


17. I'm so sick and tired of the sh!t on the radio / and MTV, they only play the same thing / no matter where I go / I see Ashanti in the video ["We R in Need of a Musical Revolution" - Esthero]

18. You wanna see how we flow? (here we go! here we go!) / Gimme dough and do a show (here we go! here we go!) / Your guy nearly got mad (here we go! here we go!) [it's all because of that soundtrack!] ["Here We Go" - Dirtbag; yup, still more from Take the Lead]

19. I see your true colors shining through / I see your true color and thats why I luv you (I'm from the ghetto) / I see your true color shining through(straight up) ["True Colors" - Fredro Starr ft. Jil Scott; Save the Last Dance soundtrack]

20. Weiß man, wie oft ein herz brechen kann? / Wieviele sinne hat der wahn? / Lohnen sich gefühle? ["Letzter Tag" - Herbert Grönemeyer]

21. My life is brilliant / My love is pure / I saw an angel / Of that I'm sure ["Beautiful" - James Blunt]

22. There's something happening here / What it is ain't exactly clear / There's a man with a gun over there / Telling me I got to beware ["For What It's Worth" - Buffalo Springfield]

23. Baby, before you / Well, I was bad news / In lettin' me love you / I think I can get through ["Before You" - Chantal Kreviazuk]

24. All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go / I'm standin' here outside your door ["Leaving on a Jet Plane" - Chantal Kreviazuk]

25. I am unwritten / Can't read my mind / I'm undefined ["Unwritten" - Natasha Bedingfield]

26. When the night is still / And the sea is calm / Lonely shadow, you fall upon me / Lay by my side / Fear not tonight / Lonely shadow, you’ll find a new light

27. Here's the chance of life, get ready, set, fly high / Above the fear of your mind, go for it / It's hit or miss, too late for you to quit.

28. Despacito / por favor / suavemente / como brisa / dame amor / sin apuro / ven a mi / andante andante / sentir que nace as

29. L'Amour est un oiseau rebelle / Que nul ne peut apprivoiser / Et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle / S'il lui convient de refuser.

30. Starry starry night / Paint your palette blue and grey / Look out on a summer's day / With eyes that know the darkness in my soul ["Vincent" - Don McLean]


30. It was fascination, I know / And it might have ended at the start / A passing glance, a brief romance... ["Fascination" - Kem]

I've very disappointed in you M.T. :( Mind you, I should have realized that you are more of a melody person than a lyrics person. You always guess the song in the intro before they even start singing.
