“Into the Groove” Madonna
-
“She said, ‘I know you and you cannot sing’/I said, ‘That’s nothing. You should hear me play the piano.’”
-
“I brought my pencil–Gimme something to write on!”
Did Limp Bizkit cover that song from SI? I could have sworn that was a Limp Bizkit verse.
Maybe not – I’m probably deluded.
Hm, the only one I knew was Madonna.
Well, here’s another one (and it’s easy)
- You’re just a buffet, you’re a vegetable
They eat off of you, you’re a vegetable.
- You’re just a buffet, you’re a vegetable
They eat off of you, you’re a vegetable.

I can’t get any rest
People say I’m obsessed
Everything you say is lies
But to me that’s no surprise
What I had for you was true
Things go wrong, they always do
There’s a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There’s a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There’s a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There’s a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
We came in spastic
Like tameless horses
We left in plastic
As numbered corpses
See the kids just getting out of school
They can’t wait to hang out and be cool
Hang around 'til quarter after twelve
That’s when they fall in line
It’s gonna take a while for me to find the unanswered ones. You people are outpacing me here.
- It’s the Police … but the name of the song … arrrrgh!
King of Pain.
(whew!)
Van Halen, “Hot for Teacher”
Billy Joel, “Goodnight Saigon”
All right folks, this was the best I could do. Hope I didn’t miss anyone.
19)I know baby
It’s hard to be strong
Just take the good with the bad
And don’t think you’re alone
Cause I know
All your sad goodbyes
Cause I’ve been there before
To help you dry your eyes
34.
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
- I’m walking home tonight
I only walk where there’s lots of lights
In the alleys and the doorways
Some throw a bottle right in your face
I won’t fight for a cause
I don’t want to change the law
Leave me alone, just leave me alone
I want to get out on my own
- "- 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…"
61) 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
What’ll I do?
What’ll I do without her?
What’ll I be?
What would I be alone?

I brought flowers in the springtime.
October, we were wed.
In winter time, the roses died.
Her blood ran cold, and then she said -
I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar.
- "She said, ‘I know you and you cannot sing’/I said, 'That’s nothing
Somebody got 34. I think it was Rock The Casbah.

The Smiths - How Soon Is Now?
-
From the mountain tops down to the sunny street
A different drum is playing a different kind of beat
It’s like a mystery that never ends
I see you crying and I want to kill your friends -
I’m so small, I’m so small
You raised me and then you let me fall
Sorry - cocked up the numbering. Ignore previous post.

71: Fine Young Cannibals: She Drives Me Crazy
Here’s some easy ones…to me at least 
-
I feel an animal deep inside/Heel to haunch on bended knees/Living on and if I tried/Somebody send me please/Dream wars and a ticket to seem/Giving out and in/Selling the don’t belong/Well, what do you say/D’you have a word for giving away?/Got a song for me?
-
We serve an old moan in a dry season/A lighthouse keeper in the desert run/Dreamers of sleepers and white treason/We dream of rain and the hist’ry of the gun/There’s a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia/A white house in a red square/I’m living in films for the sake of Russia/A keno runner for the DDR/And the 52 daughters of the revolution/Turn the gold to chrome/Gift…Nothing to lose/Stuck inside of Memphis with the mobile home
-
(technically not 80s but a cover band DID play this in the 80s)
By the Salvation Army band/Down by the riverside, it’s bound to be a better ride/Than what you’ve got planned/Carry your cup in your hand -
In the locust wind/Comes a rattle and hum/Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome/Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire/See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher
-
No one beats him at his game/For very long but just the same/Who cares there’s no place safe to hide/Nowhere to run - no time to cry/So celebrate while you still can/Cause any second it may end/And when it’s all been said and done/Better that you had some fun!
can’t get faded flowers out of my head now…whcih explaines some of these songs
74 GoGos, We Got The Beat
75 Aztec Camera, Oblivious
I think I’ll wait until a few more have been solved before adding to the frey.
I think this is the Go-Gos, “We Got the Beat.”
- Julian Cope, Shut Your Mouth “She’s flying in the face of fashion…” That one’s been bugging me for a little while. Yea!
Heh. bordeland, I would know Fred Durst if he came up and bit me on the ass. (Just to prove it, I first wrote Frank Durst in this post, but then remembered his name at the last minute.
They may have used that phrase - it’s sort of a cool pop reference (get it, pop, get it…:)) that I hear all over the place.
Damn, someone beat me to Aztec Camera - I love that song!
-
Hazy Shade of Winter - The Bangles
-
Bullet the Blue Sky - U2 (another one of my faves)
-
Noone lives forever - Oingo Boingo (yet another one of my faves!
)
~V
Oh geez, wouldn’t…
Well, since I’m posting anyway:
-
Sisters of Mercy, This Corrosion (love that album!)
-
Bangles, Hazy Shade of Winter
-
U2, Rattle and Hum?
And just for good measure:
- Frankie and the Knockouts – Sweetheart
- Roddy Radiation – Concrete Jungle (Man, are we being obscure or what?!)
80 is in fact Bullet to Blue Sky
and I can’t believe you got 77 but not 78!
Nobody got #59, I don’t think.
“…fucked them at school. All I know is…”
That’s the Pixies, from the Surfer Rosa album. I think its right before the song “I’m Amazed”.
82)
This speach is my recital
I think its very vital
To rock a rhyme
That’s right on time
I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to think, to get these memories from my mind
What did I see? Can I believe?
That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy
See how it sounds, a little UNrational
A lotta MCs like to use the word “drammatical”
Freshhhh… for '88… suckuuuuuuhs
