MMM, the various Quote game, gaves me an idea, Let's do another one, but with song title or song's lyric! You must identify the artist

It's basicely, the same rules as the First quote game you must wait that the poster accept your answer than you can post another title/lyric unless you are 100% sure of your answer than you can post another one.

Please use english, as it is the only language all of the Sp-er know

Here a copy of Death's Rabit post at the begening of Quote 2



Someone posts a quote from a song or lyric. If you know the Artist it came from, and post the answer correctly, then and ONLY then may you post a quote of your own. Unless you're 100% sure you're correct, don't post a quote of your own until you are confirmed correct by the original quoter.

If it's your turn, you must respond with a new quote within 1 day (24 hours) to keep the thread going. Otherwise the thread may be hijacked by the next available impatient jackass.

If the person who's quote you've responded to does not confirm that you are correct within 24 hours of your answer, you are then assumed correct by default, provided no one else chimes in with the correct answer within that time or disputes your answer.

Okay let's begin with an easy one

¨Highway to hell¨

AC/DC

Correct, go ahead and post another one

OK, I’m going to suggest a slight clarification to the rules: we should say whether you’re quoting a song title, or lyrics from a song. And if it’s lyrics, the person making the guess must name the artist and the song. Of course, since this is Ofelix's thread, he has final say here, but I'm going to post assuming he's OK with it.

Here’s mine (lyrics, and apropos for these Boards :D ):

in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair,
but Gollum, and the evil one
crept up and slipped away with her.

Good idea, For now you must post the artist plus the title,

Mmmm, this look like some kind of LotR stuff

Nope, other than the reference, it has nothing to do with LotR.

It's probably a bit early for a hint, but it falls under the category "classic rock" (big surprise, coming from me ;) )

"Ramble on" by Led Zeppelin.

Let's continue with more classic rock

He was the wizard of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him one night wandering
He told me tales and he drank my wine
Me and my magic man kinda a feeling fine

A bit of a guess, but "The Wizard" by Uriah Heep?

Exactly. Your turn mate.

OK, a softball (I hope) (Lyrics):

'scuse me, while I kiss the sky

Purple Haze, Jimmy Hendrix.

Yup. Go!

he, he, I played once guitar, but I never gotten farther then hey joe

There's a green card and a way
The holy ghost
And the whole east coast
Are moving to LA

Robbie Williams' Hot Fudge? :confused:

Yes, sir ! Your turn !

Perhaps a li'l tricky...

The stairways up to la butte can make the wretched sigh,
while windmill wings of the moulin shelter you and I.

Okay tips:

His father's first name is Loudon.
The song can be heared in a film about a brothel in Paris.

[ January 04, 2004, 01:41: Message edited by: Master of Nuhn ]

Could it be "Complainte de la Butte by Rufus Wainwright" from the movie Moulin Rouge?

Aye Aye Rayzor. Your turn. :)

Here we go:

she's made of hair and bone and little teeth
and things I cannot speak
she comes on like a crippled plaything
spine is just a string
I wrapped our love in all this foil
silver-tight like spider legs

Hint:
A hit in 1997

I think thats by maralyn manson but I dont know what track :hmm:

*points at Rayzor and shouts goth*

@ Rayzor
Sorry, I had just finished reading the On goths, real goths, death and black thread at the time.
:D

[ January 07, 2004, 10:47: Message edited by: Defspeal ]

its Tourniquet, mary mansons best album if you ask me.

@ Defspeal
Yes. Its Marilyn Manson - but which song ?
And no - I'm not a goth (although i died my hair completely white :p :p )

@ Septic Yogurt
Tourniquet is correct, but "mary manson" ??
One thing; its not an album. The song comes from the album "Antichrist Superstar" from 1996. ;)

The first one to put the two right parts together wins the right to post the next song quote!! :) :)

:shake: Marilyn Manson - "Tourniquet" ?

Sorry, just wanted to chip in :o

So here we go:

The skies are open, for atomic vikings to roam

Time for a hint, or more details, or whatever.

I'd agree...

I'm guessing it's a rock or metal song... :confused:

Never seen the lyric though

I believe its "Tarot - Wings Of Darkness" ?

Yep! Wow, someone else who knows about them! :eek:

Not the best of ideas to post song quotes from a nearly unheard of band.

I agree.

Let's keep them to something that at least has had a reasonable amount of radio airplay. ;)

I believe Sir Ai Rayzor is up.

yeah, i know it isnt the name of the album, i was simply stating its the best work he has done.

and if you look at him, mary manson is a fitting name, since theres nothing about him to take seriously.

Gee, To my great shame I didn't know most of the song posted here...

Anyway Sir Ai Rayzor we're waiting for ye,

Invoking the impatient jackass rule:

History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea
Borne on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
"Too late," the prophets cry
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky

"Fool's overture" by Supertramp?

That's the second one of mine you've guessed, BOC. Let's see if I can return the favour. :D

This must be easy (atleast for the metalheads around here and Splunge I don't think that you are one of them :D ).

I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave

Sounds like Manowar to me.

Wrong answer. Here's a hint. Their leader was a ex-member of Hawkwind.

motorhead orgasmatron

Yes. Go on.

I am
Stop
And go
In your eyes

Methinks it's time for a hint.

New york band, song isn't old either.

Easily amused

Everythings my fault

Ah, but what is The Strokes song called?

BTW, yours is Nirvana, All Apologies

Cheat! baezle, well I guess I will have to let you away with that ;x

Well, if it's good enough for Sarevok-, it's good enough for me. And since I know my guess was right, here's the next one (and no, I'm not suicidal ;) ). Lyrics:

Hope I die before I get old

Splunge here I am again :D ."My generation" by The Who

Grrr! :mad:

Go! :D

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Clubs and bells, your servant, don’t forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

"Dave Navarro - Venus In Furs"

I'm going on a wild guess that its right, so heres the next one:


I wipe it off on tile, the light is brighter this time
Everything is 3D blasphemy
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up
This is not the way I pictured me
I can't control my shakes
How the hell did I get here?
Something about this, so very wrong...
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this
Is it a dream or a memory?

Anyone ?

[EDIT: If the guess is not correct, then please ignore the lyrics in this post.]

The title is correct, but not the artist, it seems that this Navarro has made a cover of the song. Here's a hint. The cover painting of the album, which contains this song is one of the most famous cover paintings of the rock history and it was created by Andy Warhol.

velvet underground

Yep, your turn.

Cause things ain't gettin over

My world is spinning around,
Everything is lost that I found.
People run, come ride with me,

Moody Blues - Ride my see saw (awesome pick)

I unsnapped his skull cap, between his ears I saw a gap, and figured he would be alright.

It burned like fire
This burning desire

U2 - Still havent found what im looking for.

I wipe it off on tile, the light is brighter this time
Everything is 3D blasphemy

This is not the way I pictured me

I think its "legal" to post now, to get this thread going. Here we go:

Don't you notice how the wheel goes 'round?

"Badge" by Cream

Yep, your turn.

He couldn’t take anymore
He’d found a place

How 'bout a hint?

They are one of the best and most influential british heavy metal bands and they are famous for their concerts, where their singer used to enter the stage driving a Harley Davidson. They were accused that one of their songs has led two teenagers to suicide in the U.S. but the court found them not guilty, their singer has admited that he is gay (in an MTV show IIRC). This particular song was included in their 1978 LP.

Well, I know the band now, but not being a metalhead (as BOC correctly guessed earlier :D ), I don't know the song. (Well, I do, but I had to do a search, so it doesn't count.) So, it's up to someone else.

Had to ask my brother, the Judas Priest junkie, but: Beyond the Realms of Death.

Well, since BOC isn't here, and I cheated, I'll confirm that you're right, dmc. Your turn.

OK:

Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise, beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise

Farewell to Kings - Rush (a Canadian band, so I'd better know it! :D )

She's got electric boots, a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine.

Elton John - Bennie and the Jets (sp?)

Yep. (And I think sp's OK too :D )

Bron Y-Aur Stomp is a great song. All hillbilly and such.

Rock it.

David-Bowie with Suffragette City ?

Am I allowed to confirm that? Because it's right.

If its allowed then here goes the next lyric:

I forgive
I pretend
Not to smile
'Cause I am
Stronger than you


Hint:
A danish band which has only made one album yet.
They can be found on the soundtrack to a danish movie called "Midsommer" (means Midsummer).

[ January 21, 2004, 20:56: Message edited by: Sir Ai Rayzor ]

Yeah david bowie ^^

Sir A. - is this band basically an unknown? Because I think we're trying to keep the song quotes to those from artists (and their songs) that have a reasonable chance of being familiar to the rest of us.

How about if you're posting an obscure lyric, you also post one that people might actually get. Or mayhap someone could start a new thread where we dump obscure lyrics and throw guesses around of who sings them :grin:

Hmm, lets stick to the more mainstream bands, shall we. Or at least, not obscure Norweigan Goth bands that no one but a select underground of 3 orangu-tans and a baby mongoose have heard of, okay?

Huh ? I did a google search about the lyrics. Yet I don't know the song, but that band which to be the original provider of the song surely isn't unkown.

@Baezlebub: Denmark, not Norway ;)

For starters:
I googled the song lyrics too, so it is there.
They are a mainstream rockband.
The band is not on the international scene yet.

...and their name is "Carpark North".

Here is the next lyrics:


Old picture on the shelf..
Its been there for a while
Frozen image of ourselves
We were acting like a child

Splunge - beat me to it. You are correct. Post on.

Well, dmc's confirmation is good enough for me!

Continuing on with the "lyrics that aren't really lyrics" idea, here's mine (this may be really easy or really hard, I'm not sure; it may need a hint later on):

(OK, one hint - it's pronounced "doo" (kinda like "dew"), not "doe")

Sound exactly like Lou Reed - "Take a Walk on the Wild Side" . . . .

Perhaps "I was made for lovin' you" by Kiss?

EDIT: Oops, Splunge posted the same moment with me.

"Really easy" it was! :D

You're up, Harbourboy.

Edit: Ha! Finally stumped ya!! Maybe not so easy, BOC :p

It doesn't count, they weren't real lyrics, they could be from thousands songs, from Kiss and Lou Reed to MC Hammer. :p

Yeah, but the trick was in getting the rhythm (which was the purpose of the hyphens), and Harbourboy seems to have got it. :p

OK

" You can live 'til 110
If you listen to what I said "

Time for a hint.

More lyrics from this song are:

"Every night sun goes down
And the people are staying at home
You can tell your momma and daddy
Leave those children alone"

It was a minor hit in the late 1980s from a strange movie that was made by the band. This band is more famous for another earlier movie they made which is renowned as one of the best live concert movies ever.

"Chinatown" by Thin Lizzy

Ah, that is very good! There are extra points for telling me where that song was recorded. [/optional] Even more points if you could tell me the name of the guitarist they used in the recording studio.

The song was included in the LP "Chinatown" released by Phonogram in 1980 and it was recorded at Good Earth Studios, Soho, London W1, UK :D . The guitarist of the band was Snowy White and I'm not sure if Gary Moore gave a hand during the recordings. BTW, "Killer on the loose" (from the same LP} realy rocks.

You got it 100%! Yeah the album rocks, one of my favorites. Kind of album you can listen to without flicking through the tracks.

Perhaps it's time for a hint. American hard rock band from Chicago, who began their career in the early 70s and they continue until today. Their hit and most famous song is "Boat on the river". As for this particular song you can find its title among the above lyrics.

I wouldn't have picked Boat on the River as their most famous song, but the band is Styx, and I think they had a song called Castle Walls (or someting like that) so I'll go with that.

Your dreams see fruition
Mere class on a higher plane
Everyone wants to know your name

You and I have very different definitions of the word "easy" :shake:

I think it's Flawless by the Ones. It was played on the radio a lot...

Yeah, go

Shaking like a dog s***ting razor blades
Waking up next to nothing

I don't know how famous this is... might be easy, might not.

No idea - a clue might be needed.

Radio by Alkaline Trio

Who? I have never heard of them.

Another obscur punk pop band who comes out of nowhere, never really achieves anything, then disappears.

Radio indeed. I wouldn't call them obscure - most of my friends have heard of them.

It is not a good idea putting lyrics from obscure bands like that.

Good call Sarevok_, you not ever placing obscure 80s metal lyrics in...

Alkaline Trio arent that obscure, but the lyrics weren't that clear.

Dutch DJ = Ötzi? No idea about a title though...

And is "Couch" the American/Aussie word you're looking for?

Random Dutch DJ: DJ Paul?

Wrong wrong! Another clue? - Maybe he likes motorola cell phones?

Wild guess - Paul Van Dyk

Ah yes it is indeed but the song? :> It had a lot of radio play and mtv etc. It was in 2002, in the video you have PVD sitting on a red sofa with some other people. Name it!

I remember 'We're alive' (take a deep breath) and 'Tell me why', but these are both in 2000/2001. And there are no such lyrics.

The song is "we are alive"

Anyone take a go.

Darn, well, okay. Here comes:

Music makes you happy
or it can make you sad.
It can turn your worst day
to the best you ever had.
For entertainment value,
If I had to choose,
you and me might disagree
'cause I like rhythm and blues

Now I'm not dissin' disco
not saying punk is bunk
I can't settle for heavy metal
'cause I gotta have that funk.


An oldie, Jack knows

Michael Jackson comes to mind

I think it's from a band I haven't listened to in a looong time (I only have their stuff on vinyl, but I don't have a turntable anymore) -
Tower of Power.
I can't for the life of me remember what the song is called, though.

Splunge is Correct on the artists.

Hint: Take it to the bridge! (Vague, I know, but perhaps you can dig it?)

Soul With A Capital S by Tower of Power

Correct! Your turn Erebus. :)

(And how could I be so stupid to give a hint that had nothing to do with 'Soul wit a capital S'? The hint I gave would be better for 'stil diggin' on James Brown', also by ToP.)

Alrighty then...

"Never trust freedom when its not in your hands
And everyone's fighting for a holy land."

Guns n Roses

Right, but which song?

Civil war
