Cheers!

This is not a metal song and though its traditional, it has been covered by many pop artists from all over the world:

"Sé do bheatha, a bhean ba léanmhar, do ba é ár gcreach tú bheith i ngéibheann,
do dhúiche bhreá i seilbh méirleach, is tú díolta leis na Gallaibh"

Black brother in an open sports car pulled over by suspicious officer,
uniform man got a nervous partner,
weapon was pulled from a shoulder holster.

White jogger see the roadside gangsta,
heart beat just a little bit faster,
rasta man speaking in the island patios,
gonna give you the righteous answer.


Hopefully not too obscure

So nobody knows Elton... that was the title song from the first album to ever debut as number one of the British Pop Albums chart.

Perhaps this will be familiar to the true rock fans. As a hint, the singer is THE greatest female vocalist in rock history (and if you don't agree, you're wrong):

But all I know is that she left you,
And you swear that you just don’t know why,
But you know, honey I’ll always,
I’ll always be around if you ever want me

Mesmero
Thu, 18th May '06, 4:00pm
I completely agree, but is she the original artist of this song?

Janis Joplin - Cry Baby

T2Bruno
Thu, 18th May '06, 6:12pm
Written by Bert Berns, originally sung by Garnet Mimms (although I did specify female, so that leaves Garnet out).

Take it away Mesmero.

Pretty impressive if you recognise the guy by these two lines if you don't like him.

Since nobody was able to come up with the title by now (and I doubt someone will), I'll let you have the turn. The song was I hope I don't fall in love with you. My apologies to anyone who knew this and didn't have time to reply.

To catch this big red lobster man
Let's pop him in a boiling pot

Then Mr. Oogie Boogie Man
Can take the whole thing over then
He'll be so pleased, I do declare
That he will cook him rare

Elfen Lied
Wed, 31st May '06, 10:25pm
ok cool, um my song lyrics are

'on the dying souls of mankind
On the tomb of this unknown soldier'

pretty sure it shouldnt be that much of a challenge. I would have done the other lyrics i posted before but they were in latin so they dont count.


but if anyone wants to try them as a bonus here they are again

'Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam,
Et lingua eius loquetur indicium.'

another bonus one is

'pie Jesu Domine,
dona eis requiem. '

its a pity you cant have foreign languages, it would have made it a little harder
(once again the first set of lyrics are the ones i have submitted for this game, the latin lyrics are bonuses, for anyone who might want to do them)

Susipaisti
Wed, 31st May '06, 11:16pm
'pie Jesu Domine,
dona eis requiem. 'That's from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The monks who keep whacking themselves on the head chant it.

No idea about the others.

Elfen Lied
Thu, 1st Jun '06, 12:03am
actually it is a poem, they just use it in MP's holy grail, thanks for having a go at it, but the lyrics for this game are

'on the dying souls of mankind
On the tomb of this unknown soldier'

the latin lyrics were bonuses

Aikanaro
Thu, 1st Jun '06, 2:17pm
That sounds like a *very* butchered version of The Carpenter by Nightwish to me...

DarkStrider
Thu, 1st Jun '06, 4:17pm
I would guess that the latin is the Pie Jesu from the Requiem Mass, most probably Faure's

Harbourboy
Thu, 1st Jun '06, 9:37pm
Or maybe the Hayley Westenra version!?

Elfen Lied
Thu, 1st Jun '06, 9:37pm
Aikanaro your right, carpenter by nightwish, its the version i have the lyrics for somewhere.

and yeh looks like everyone can get the 'Pie Jesu' one, no one's trying the other one? lol, i didnt think it would be that hard

Lol, time to hijack the thread :D

I got pissed off in SQG6 when that song was quoted in a metal song and I was told I was wrong:

Those exact lines come from an old Byrds song called (ironically enough)

So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star

It's been covered by Tom Petty, Patti Smith and U2 (live anyway). Oh, yes -- for the metal head bunch -- Nazareth paid homage to The Byrds by putting the lines verbatim in one of their songs.

Nope, you're spot on MoN. I like some rap, as long as it's not gangsta (I loved the Sugar Hill Gang back in the day).

This singer/songwriter has a slightly 'raspy' voice. His lyrics tend to be a tad depressive but the music feels good. Song is about 6 years old now.

To my horror, the frickin' disc is missing! Now I must go and replace it.

No, the song is listed (Matilda Mother), but it's unlikely you'd get it by listening to the song, since Matilda Mother doesn't actually show up in the lyrics.

I got a right to go to work, but there's no work here to be found.
Yes, and they say were gonna have to pay what's owed.
Were gonna have to reap from some seed thats been sowed.

This is his/her/their greatest song, imo.
Edit: I put some comas and dots there.

Edit for hint:
This is most likely the band's longest song. You won't hear it on the radio too often unless it's cut down to about 1/3 its actual time. Here at least.
The band was formed in 1977 and had their first top 10 chart in the next year.

Edit again:
Drat! Come on, guys. I'm not giving this one up that easily.
According to the northern-english band's name, they are "in serious need of more money".
Ask for an other hint if you must. I'm sure you know the band, some of you are quite fond of them, I read in some other posts.

Twelve hours have past, so here is hint number 1.

The song starts of with two audioclips from good ol' Bill Hicks, my favourite being:


Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.
Here is Tom with the weather.
