Memealicious.



Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!

13. Beach Boys - 409
17. ?????????? - You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet

I'm almost certain about 13. 17 is a little iffy, I know it's a famous song, and I know it's been used in truck commercials for years, but I'm not sure I'm thinking of the right one. And even so, I don't know who sings it.

[mercat.livejournal.com]

Yep. I think it's Bachman Turner Overdrive but I really don't want to hunt it down out of iTunes. =P

1. Vanessa Carlton - 1000 miles
23. Jack Johnson - Do you remember (???)


I suuuuuuuuuck at these memes.

[mercat.livejournal.com]

Actually I guess it technically could be the Jack Johnson song (I don't know it though, so I'll take your word for it.) However it's not the one I'm thinking of!

I'll leave it up for other people to guess, though. =P

ok, someone already got #1.
2. Officer Krupke--West Side Story. could be sung by any of a number of casts.
4. Take Me Home, Country Roads--John Denver.
6. I'm Not That Girl--Wicked. Idina Menzel, unless there's some other cast recording out there.

hooray music! I recognize some of the other lines, but I have no idea what the title/artist is.
Aaaaaand I'm killing time, because I don't have as much to pack as I thought I did :)

[mercat.livejournal.com]

Yep! =P I think it's original movie cast for West Side Story.

12!!!!!!!! I can't believe I missed 12 before. This is what I was thinking of instead of focusing on today's exam.

Strong Bad - Circles (That Skinny Blonde Girl)

[mercat.livejournal.com]

Yes!!!!!! =D Yay someone got it.

[astrid087.livejournal.com]

7. Fixing a Hole- Beatles
14. That one Hawaiian X-mas thing by Bing Crosby
15. The Dumples Theme(?)- Strong Bad emails

Meh, that's all I got.

[mercat.livejournal.com]

7 and 15 are correct. =D CGNU fight song woo!

14 is not Melekalikimaka though =P I don't think anyone's going to get it because it's pretty obscure.

Also did I already know you were a HomestarRunner fan?! I don't think I did and that means we have lots of quoting to make up for!

[astrid087.livejournal.com]

Of course you knew! We spent a big part of first semester quoting! "Sid Hoffman, or Sid Frenchman?" Silly Diane =P

Dangit, you're right! My brain is a failure today. =P
