Here’s how it works: post a few lines from a song. Identify the songs, and where possible, the artist. Bonus points for naming multiple artists if the song was covered.
No peeking (at Google)!
Here are a few to get us started, all from heavy-ish rock genres:
R1: Every day sends future to past
Every breath leaves brings me closer to my last
R2: Shut me down
Knock me to the floor
Shoot me up
Fuck me like a whore
R3: Pick a crime from the menu
Pick a sentence and a venue
And pay up the down payment called bail
The system’s for sale
R4: Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
R5: I’m a perfectionist
And perfect is a skinned knee
R6: *In the headlights
Of a stretch car
You’re a star *
R7: So follow me into the desert
As desperate as you are
TK1: At night I drink myself to sleep
and pretend I don’t care that you’re not here with me
Cause it’s so much easier to handle all my problems
if I’m too far out to sea
TK2: I’m screaming
I met you this way
You’re nice to me like ice
TK3: They took you up to midnight mass
and left you in a lurch,
so you dropped a button in the place
and spewed up in the church
You’re just an old barrow boy
Have you found a new toy to replace me?
Can you face me? Well now you can kiss my ass goodbye.
That would be Queen, ‘‘Death On Two Legs’’
olives1 (pop) But when you shake your ass
They notice fast
And some mistakes were built to last
olives2 (uh… alternative?) Doesn’t matter if you’re skinny
Doesn’t matter if you’re fat
You can dress up like a sultan
In your onion head hat
olives3 (alternative rock) When they play tunes, when they play tunes, when they play riffs of the hard rock beat
Gimme some love, gimme some love sugar from the drop with the old school meet
olives4 (classic rock) The whole wide world
An endless universe
Yet we keep looking through
The eyeglass in reverse
Don’t feed the people
But we feed the machines
Can’t really feel
What international means
