Song Quote Game 10 - Page 35

reepnorp · Fri, 4th May '12, 4:46am

In that case I'll go with the song that is (apparently) my most played on iTunes:

You're a Rorschach Test on fire
You're a day-glo pterodactyl
You're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire
You're one badass ****ing fractal
And you're just in time to save the day
Sweeping all our fears away
You can change the world in a tiny way

reepnorp · Tue, 8th May '12, 6:38pm

No guesses, eh? I'll give it another day or so before I give the answer

---------- Added 17 hours, 42 minutes and 48 seconds later... ----------

Correct answer was Mandelbrot Set by Jonathan Coulton. Next one is up for grabs, whoever posts first can take it from here.

LKD · Tue, 8th May '12, 8:12pm

I'll take it!

I told her put an extra layer on
I know what happens when she drinks Petrone
Her closet's missing half the things she bought,
Yeah, . . . . .

Fun song!

dmc · Tue, 8th May '12, 8:55pm

Don't know the song, but shouldn't "Petrone" be "Patron"? That's if we are discussing tequila, of course . . . .

LKD · Tue, 8th May '12, 9:34pm

Think about it -- how would I know that??

T2Bruno · Wed, 9th May '12, 2:11am

Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off ... not sure who sings it though.

LKD · Wed, 9th May '12, 5:08am

Correct. Go for it!

T2Bruno · Wed, 9th May '12, 3:17pm

I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha

dmc · Wed, 9th May '12, 9:20pm

Blondie - One Way or Another

T2Bruno · Wed, 9th May '12, 11:34pm

Your turn dmc.

dmc · Thu, 10th May '12, 12:39am

"And of course you can't become if you only say what you would have done
so I missed a million miles of fun."

This one is a bit quirky, so I am hoping someone knows it.

Gaear · Thu, 10th May '12, 1:14am

That's the "If you steal my sunshine" refrain song. Unfortunately I'm not sure if that's the actual title and I can't remember the band, so unless dmc's feeling generous someone could swoop in for the steal here.

Blackthorne TA · Thu, 10th May '12, 1:26am

Yeah, I've heard that song on the radio, but I don't know the name of the band.

LKD · Thu, 10th May '12, 3:29am

I know it's a brother and sister group. One of the other lines in the song has the sister saying how tough life is, and that "if you weren't my little brother, I'd take it out on you!"

dmc · Thu, 10th May '12, 3:44am

Wow, better than expected. LKD is right in that it's a brother-sister group (from Toronto).

Gaear is right in that it's Steal My Sunshine.

I think Gaear gets it for actually getting part of it right.

Band name is Len.

BTA - I'm sure you've heard it. KROQ still plays it and, because of that, I think other local radios do as well.

LKD · Thu, 17th May '12, 8:40pm

I'm taking this one too, kickstaring the boards.

Quote:

The VCR and the DVD,
there was-a none of that crap back in 1970
We didn't know about a World Wide Web,
was a whole different game being played back when I was a kid

Gaear · Thu, 17th May '12, 9:33pm

Sorry, I never saw dmc's reply somehow.

LKD · Sun, 20th May '12, 3:55pm

More from the same song:

Quote:

Wanna get down in a cool way
Picture yourself on a beautiful day
Big bell bottoms, and groovy long hair
Just a walkin in style with a portable CD player
NO! You would listen to the music ...

LKD · Thu, 24th May '12, 7:17pm

Le sigh. Open season for whoever wants it.

T2Bruno · Thu, 24th May '12, 7:55pm

Making my way downtown, walking fast
Faces pass and I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead, just making my way
Making a way through the crowd

Gaear · Thu, 24th May '12, 8:01pm

That's the song with the busy piano called "A Thousand Miles" (I think) that is not done by Michelle Branch.

T2Bruno · Thu, 24th May '12, 8:17pm

I don't think Michelle Branch did a cover of it....

T2Bruno · Mon, 28th May '12, 3:31am

Since no one else is opting an artist, Gaear go ahead and take it. You had the title of the song.

Gaear · Sat, 2nd Jun '12, 8:26pm

That was Vanessa Carleton btw. I can't think of a damn thing that I suspect people would find interesting, so anyone can take it.

LKD · Mon, 4th Jun '12, 9:22pm

Here's a song from a fine, upstanding citizen's perspective:

Quote:

I got my brain on hype.
Tonight'll be your night.
I got this long-assed knife,
and your neck looks just right.
My adrenaline's pumpin'.
I got my stereo bumpin'.
I'm 'bout to kill me somethin'
A pig stopped me for nuthin'!

This song is not something I would usually post!
