Ha! I just listened to this one this morning. “EXP” (“intro” to “Up from the Skies”) from Jimi Hendrix’s Axis: Bold as Love.
Way to go, Biffy!
Say, how about running over to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame thread? I seem to have killed that one.
Mar-1: “…girls and fucked 'em at school. All I know is that there were rumours he was into field hockey players…”
Mar-2: “There was only one road back to LA, US Interstate 15. Just a flat out high speed burn through Baker & Barstow & Berdoo. Then onto the Hollywood Freeway straight into frantic oblivion. Safety. Obscurity. Just another freak in the freak kingdom…” (Hint: this intros an alternate version of a certain cover)
One of them is “Jimmy James” by the Beastie Boys.
“Viva Las Vegas” by the Dead Kennedys from the FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS soundtrack.
Extremely easy one:
MR3: “Helloooooo, baby!”
Fairly obscure, I guess:
MR4: “Somewhere in space this may all be happening right now.”
These are both from the intro to “I’m Amazed” by the Pixies.
“So I applied the next day. I went out for the team.”
Same album also features “YOU FUCKING DIE…i said…to her…”
and “This is a song about a superhero named Tony! It’s called Tony’s theeeme!”
Mine:
Km1: Good evening ladies and gentlemen and right now I’d like to tell you 'bout! The fabulous! Most groovy! BELLBOTTOMS! (uh!) BELLBOTTOMS! (uh!) Yeah!
Km2: Well we’ve talked about it…in person…and we’ve talked about it…on the phone? But how you really feel…about it…I don’t…really know…?
Km3: Crank it. I said to.
Km4: When I was younger, just a little kid, my Momma noticed funny things I did. Like shooting puppies with a BB gun.
LD-6: “All right, here’s one you may well know, you may not know it. And if you don’t know it, I really don’t know where you’ve been.”
I love hating this thread…there’s more smoke pouring out of my ears than you’d see in a Japanese Night Club.
From the best I can gather (I hope I didn’t miss any) and with a little copying/pasting - it appears you guys have your work cut out for you.

let’s go back to the roots, I bet none of you know this but JB3 had nothing to do with Herbie Hancock, it was lifted from the intro To “Split Kick” from ONE NIGHT AT BIRDLAND from the Art Blakey Quintet.
btw3 - One month ago today, I was happy as a lark
(HINT - The last line of the intro is “I keep sayin’ she’ll be back, but today again I’ve lied”)
I’m guessing that’s “Have You Seen Her” by the Chi-Lites.
btw4 - Hurry, hurry, step right up, See the saddest show in town for only fifty cents
“Sideshow,” Blue Magic
MR3: “Helloooooo, baby!”
“Chantilly Lace,” The Big Bopper
CG-4: “Hello, I’m Johnny Cash.”
“Folsom Prison Blues,” Johnny Cash.
Replace “on” with a colon, and you’ve got “Cop Killer” by Body Count.
MR2 is killing me…Public Enemy or something similar…damn! Ok here are 3 or 4 of my own:
KG1: “I remember now. I remember how it started. I can’t remember yesterday, I just remember doing what they told me…told me…told me…told me…”
KG2: “This is the voice of Merlin. Listen well, for it concerns you. This chronicle commences in the year 2084 A.D. Mankind has virtually destroyed itself. Its survival depends on [oops, spoiler]. Scientists of the 21st century have developed a new computer program called ‘Time Telepathy’. By using this technique, they have sent visions of humanity’s decline back in time. These transmissions have been received by the mind of a blind minstrel who lives in 6th Century Britain. His name is [another spoiler].”
KG3: “Life’s kinda gettin’ out of control, I think. I don’t know if you’d agree (would you hand me that ashtray?) You know, it’s like…what it’s like…what it is, I know you’ve heard the word a thousand times, it’s a rat race. I went through the contortions of hell. I have alcoholic seizures. Wind up in the hospital and everything else. Now, I’m sick. I’m shakin’ like a leaf. It was like silly putty, and they threw him in the car, in the paddy wagon and beat him to death. I hit one of those and I knocked the front wheel off into outer space. And I kinda got angry myself and I said, [laughter] have a lotta guts! I like salad, I just ate a nice salad. Baked potato. Some cream cheese. And chives. I like to eat salad. Why, do you have something in mind? [more laughter]”
What a great angle for a thread! I’m remembering stuff I haven’t thought about in years. Here’s an easy one with some giveaway phrases deleted:
HTB1: Hi, everybody. I’m XXXXXXXXXXXX from Houston, Texas. We don’t only sing but we dance just as good as we walk. In Houston we just started a new dance called the XXXXXXXXXX. This is the music we XXXXXXX to.
Oh, I know this one – that’s “You’ll Be a Dentist” from Little Shop of Horrors. Sung by Steve Martin in the movie version.
Here’s a fairly easy one, but it’s the only one I can think of…
Kat1: “This ain’t no disco. It ain’t no country club. This is L.A…”
“It just came out this week, and the song is called…Surrender!”
Cheap Trick, At Budokan
Fly1 - "*“Not to be an asshole but people up here are getting really fucking smashed. It’s not too cool. So how about starting from the back… everybody take a step back. Can we get a little house lights?” *
Bellbottoms*, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Archie Bell and the Drells - “Tighten Up”
Good one! (“Make it mellow!”)
Is this the 1000 Homo DJs’ Supernaut cover?
MrD1 - “Hands up who wants to die” shouted rather than spoken
…and that’s cutting me own throat…
[li]B1: “Even though they’re in the middle of a whirlwind tour, Henrietta Collins and the Wife Beating Child Haters . . .”[/li]
)
[li]san2: You’re rendering our scaffolding dangerous![/li]
B1 is ‘drive by shooting’ by, indeed, henrietta collins & the wife beating child haters, AKA rollins band
san2 is the happy mondays, one off of ‘bummed’
er,either mad cyril?
Kat1: Sheryl Crow: All I Want To Do
gx2: Here we go. Can I get a goddamn timpani roll… to start this goddamn song? Tonight… here’s a goddamn song!
gx3: Meet Eddie. 23 years old. Fed up with life and
the way things are going, he decides to rob a liquor store. But on his way in, he has a sudden change of heart. And suddenly, his conscience comes into play.
MrD1 - “Hands up who wants to die” shouted rather than spoken
this is ‘release the bats’ by the birthday party
san2 is ‘brain dead’ by the happy mondays, rather than mad cyril
heh
PB1 “…a mans decapitated body, lying on the floor, next to his own severed head, a head which at this time has no name…”
Close, right band, but wrong song
