On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favourite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.

I only did 20 songs, because all the rest on my list are either instrumentals or feature lyrics in unfamiliar or made-up languages.

1. "X, Y, and Z, Xerox your zombies then there's nothing here but life 101."

2. "But the gentlemen friends who used to call, they never did seem to mind at all--they came to the wrong side of the track."

3. "Over the ground there comes a sound; it is the drum, drum, drum of hoof-beats in the sand."

4. "Monday she got me arrested, On Tuesday up in jail, Wednesday my trail was attested, Thursday she posted my bail."

5. "Old man swearing at the sidewalk. I am overcome."

6. "Slide your feet up the street bend your back shift your arm then you pull it back" - Walk Like an Egyptian by The Bangles (curtana)

7. "Hey they found a body. Not sure it was his, still they're using his name." - Past the Mission by Tori Amos (curtana)

8. "O gee, he's up to my knee. Oh, my, he's reached my thigh." - I'm Being Eaten by a Boa Constrictor by Chenille Sisters (longpig)

9. "You want to cuss and fight in the basement. The kid want to cuss and fight in the basement."

10. "When you look under the rocks and plants and take a glance at the fancy ants, then maybe try a few." - Disney's The Bear Necessities (richpizor)

11. "From my laboratory in the castle east, to the master bedroom where the vampires feast" - Monster Mash by Bobby Boris Pickett (basksinshadows)


12. "One message had never been clearer: This is not superstition!" - Love is Hell by The Grim Faeries (curtana)

13. "Come to my arms! My beamish boy!" - Jabberwocky by The Cruxshadows (curtana)

14. "I wouldn't eat you because you're so tough." - Purple People Eater by Sheb Woolley (basksinshadows

15. "A lot of shoes; a lot of rice; the groom's so nervous, he answers twice." - Makin' Whoopie by Louie Armstrong (curtana)

16. "As he went to turn his head, Little Bobby shot him dead."

17. "I'm trying to land this aeroplane of ours gracefully, but it seems just destined to crash."

18. "Be quiet. I just need to hear myself think."

19. "Swallowing diamonds a cutting throat your teeth when you grin."

20. "I tried and I tried to avoid but this thing was happening. Swallow my pride." - Oops Oh My by Tweet (firelie)

#6 is Walk Like an Egyptian, the Bangles
#7 is Past the Mission, Tori Amos
#12 is Love is Hell, Grim Faeries
#15 is Makin' Whoopee, don't know which version you have.

Um... I know #13 is a line from Jaberwocky - maybe there's a song of that?

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

Yup! It's the Louie Armstrong version of Makin' Whoopie, and Jabberwocky was performed by The Cruxshadows.

Cool, I'll have to hear that some time.

8 - I'm being eaten by a Boa Constrictor?

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

Yep! And no, I don't know why it's in my playlist. I confuse myself.

I know it's a poem by Shel Silverstein, from the "Where the Sidewalk Ends" book.
