Play Name that Tune with me again--- 1980's Edition.

Dead Kennedys, California Uber Alles

  1. And I feel like a beetle on its back, and there’s no way for me to get back…

I’m sorry I missed you Darlin. I was collecting the unanswered ones at work, where I periodically have to act as if I’m working. Meaning there is a lot of sudden minimizing.

P.S., I don’t know any of yours. I’ve been fignting the urge to google it. If no one answers it soon I will, just to find out. But I won’t post it.

I feel stupid. The only one I knew out of the last batches was “E=MC2” (I love that song and I adore the movie that verse is referring to!)

Swear to god, as I was scrolling down I was thinking about posting my surprise nobody got my Dead Kennedy’s one, and then maybe a Gang of Four quote.

Gang of Four- Anthrax

“Love will get you like a case of anthrax. And that something I don’t want to catch.”
57. “Honest to goodness, the bars weren’t open this morning. They must have been voting for the president or something.”
58. “Now people will cry and people will moan
And look for a dry place to call their own.
And try to find someplace to rest their bone
Before the angel and the devil try to make them their own.”

  1. "- girls and fucked them at school. All I know is there we rumours he was into field hockey player. There were rumours…

So he applied basically.

He was gone the very next day

He went off with the team.

It was like- he got- they’d just like…it was so hush hush. They were so…quiet about it. And the next thing you know…"

And since it’s appropriate-

  1. "Welcome to the US- '80’s/'90’s.
    Welcome to the US- '80’s/'90’s

No beer
No cigarettes
spikes, gin, cigarettes
Whiskey"

Oh, and

Black Flag -TV Party

The New World - X

Phew - I’m glad that somebody finally got one of mine! :smiley:

The Fall… but come on, the song name is in the lyrics you quoted! I only know this one because I love “R.O.D.” so much from the same album.

-fh

oh yes, i’ll add one, easy if you know me:

  1. She always used to live so secretly
    She’d be seen in and out of her sound
    And taking on the role of the four winds now
    She’s having tea there out in the crowd

-fh

I guess I didn’t think anybody would know The Fall…but since you do…when you’re asked for a fag in Texas…smile…:smiley:

Meat Puppets, Lake of Fire (also covered by Nirvana).
62.
What’ll I do?
What’ll I do without her?
What’ll I be?
What would I be alone?

Great thread, i haven’t thought of some of these songs in, well, years (or even coming on two decades now :))

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face, I kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow

Just like Heaven - The Cure

Huh??? 1983.

  1. Ministry - Every day is Halloween. :slight_smile: Love that song.

I think the name of the song is “White Horse” (If you want to ride … don’t ride the white horse."), but for the life of me I can’t remember the name of the band.

  1. I brought flowers in the springtime.
    October, we were wed.
    In winter time, the roses died.
    Her blood ran cold, and then she said

“Cry”–Godley & Creme

  1. “From New York to East California/There’s a new wave coming, I’ll warn ya”

  1. Kids in America, Kim Wilde

  2. Live out your fantasies here with me.
    Just let the music set you free.
    Touch my body, and move in time.
    Now I know you’re mine.

  3. I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar.
