Now bring in the go-go, uh-oh Look at how my butt go, rock from the left to the right. You wanna step to me, groove me, I know you wanna do me Come on now fellas don’t fight!” ---

These are in order of increasing difficulty: 1. “I am the anti-christ.” 2. “I’m about to have a nervous breakdown!” 3. “How did the cat get so fat?” 4. “In darkness together…we are forming!” 5. “Gimme gimme this, gimme gimme that” 6. “There’s a real cool club on the other side of town where all the real cool kids go to sit around and talk bad about the other kids…” 7. “I had a dream when I was in high school that I attended the punk rock academy.” ---

I can’t remember which one, though – “Reverend Black Grape”? Number 10 sounds (very tenuously) like “I’ve Never Met A Nice South African” by Spitting Image. **afireinside** : 1. Sex Pistols – “Anarchy In The UK” ---

Everyone who has guessed my songs has got the right answer. I didn’t think anyone would get the Spitting Image one. I think the Black Grape song is “Heroes”. ---

1. “In darkness together…we are forming!” - Strength Through Wounding by AFI 2. “There’s a real cool club on the other side of town where all the real cool kids go to sit around and talk bad about the other kids…” - Cool Kids by Screeching Weasel Anyways, here’s one of mine: I could not fit in, I was the one who got caught. I was the one who got realized, I was the one who got dropped. Shut out banished and locked away, the knife that did me in I carry to this day. ---

Jeez, you guys have tough ones. “In darkness together we are forming!” came from AFI’s “porphyia” (spelling?) not “strength through wounding”, but close. “I had a dream when I was in high school that I attended the punk rock academy” is from Atom and His Package’s “punk rock academy.” The Ramones did “Punk rock high school”, which is different. The rest you guys guessed are correct. ---

I knew a couple of the punk ones, but they were punk rock academy and perfect government, both answered, otherwise they’ve been mostly oldschool stuff. Okay These will be TUFF! This is a spoken word thing in front of a song. “If you don’t think drugs have done any good, I want you to go home tonight, and take all your albums and all your cds and burn em. Because all those artists that have enhanced your lives through out the year… reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal fucking high on drugs.” Here’s another one (HINT: Same band and album as above). “Sim Sala Bim Ba Ba Sala Du Sala Dim!” This one should be pretty hard too. Oh her flowing skirt is blowing in a transcedental wind, and she wonders without knowing, where did we begin? ---

How about: It is not a sport if the other team doesn’t want to play. in same song: Guns don’t kill ducklings, ducklings kill ducklings. Stop them or they will destroy our whole society. Guns don’t kill ducklings, ducklings kill ducklings. The’re the biggest threat to your masculinty. Very obvious if anyone knows it, but I don’t think they will. ---

1. “Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown” The Verve -“The drugs don’t work” “Your name is Deborah (Deborah) / It never suited you” Not Beck. Pulp -“Disco 2000” “I used to think that the day would never come / That my life would depend on the morning sun” I think this is the Pet Shop Boys, but I can’t remember the song. ---
