- “Don’t you think the Joker laughs at you?”
I Am the Walrus by the Beatles (ho ho ho, hee hee hee, ha ha ha)
- “They left their childhood on every acre.”
Goodnight Saigon by Billy Joel
- “Is mankind evolving…”
“The Meaning of Life” by Eric Idle
Ohh lemme do one! From one of my favorite songs ever:
“My party’s your party, anytime drop in
Cold hiphop is always rocking
Don’t ya like it when the music stops?
Jump spread out and stop!
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!”
Does anyone listen to punk rock? If so, I’ve got a few tough ones…
Try me.
These are in order of increasing difficulty:
- “I am the anti-christ.”
- “I’m about to have a nervous breakdown!”
- “How did the cat get so fat?”
- “In darkness together…we are forming!”
- “Gimme gimme this, gimme gimme that”
- “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…”
- “I had a dream when I was in high school that I attended the punk rock academy.”
Number four is Black Grape from “It’s Great When You’re Straight…Yeah!”. 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:
- 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”.
WOO HOO! I got one…
- “Put up a bunch of ugly boxes and Jesus-people bought 'em”
Eagles - The Last Resort
**1. “I am the anti-christ.” **
- Anarchy in the UK - Sex Pistols*
**3. “How did the cat get so fat?” **
- Perfect Government - NOFX*
7. "I had a dream when I was in high school that I attended the punk rock academy."
Punk Rock Academy - The Ramones
Here’s a few for you -
-
Im in this prison you built for you
in this situation i dont know what to do -
The war on drugs may be well intentioned
But it falls fucking flat when you stop and mention
The overcrowded prisons where a rapists gets paroled
To make room for a dude who has sold
A pound of weed to me that’s a crime
Here’s to good people doin time y’all -
I’m not one of those fools
With an ecclesiastical whitewash
To set my ethical standards
You’ll never cathc me lookin’ to Ann Landers
Or Moses or the law or even Buddha
If there’s one thing I know
It’s always be true to myself -
Im not afraid of cardboard
Im not afraid of shrubs
Its just these things i dont even know about
that keep me starin up above -
Call me immature
Call me a poser
I’d love to spread manure in your bed of roses
Dont wanna be rich
Dont wanna be famous
But I’d really hate to have the same
Name as you
OK, give those a shot - extra credit for number 4 and 5 (the first 3 are easy)

“In darkness together…we are forming!” - Strength Through Wounding by AFI
-
“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?
Tool - Third Eye
Much as I love the album, I am not completely up on the lyrics, so I can’t label the second song - unless it is ions?
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.
The Specials, “Too Much Too Young”
Here’s some of my own:
- “Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown”
- “The landlord says she’s out in a week / What a shame, she was just getting comfy / Now she’s eating chocolate to induce sleep / In a [song title] it’s very very very cheap”
- “Your name is Deborah (Deborah) / It never suited you”
- “I used to think that the day would never come / That my life would depend on the morning sun”
- “And we’ve both given up smoking / So whose matches are those?”
Beck - Deborah
I appear to have stumped the panel.
- “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.
I don’t know the rest of them, but Totoro’s second is “Die Eier Von Satan”[sic] by Tool, a very nice fascist chant/recipe. . . AND NO EGGS!
Damn I HAVE that album, I could’ve gotten the first one from Third Eye if I hadn’t forgotten about this thread…
