The Lyrics Game

Welcome to the Lyrics Game.  I'm your host, Dalai.  From the title, you can tell this is a game which tests your knowledge of music lyrics.  I'll try to mix up genres.  Hard rock, alternative, hip-hop, rap, indie rock, country, top 40, classic rock, disco, jazz, dance, R&B, new age, ska, reggae, maybe some polka?  Every genre will be represented.

There are rules, as always. Heh, I get to use that smiley for once.

1.  Simply guess the title of the song and the artist.
2.  Only one guess per post.
3.  Only one post allowed every 12 hours.  No spamming, obviously.
4.  Have fun Googling the answers, even though that would be cheating.
5.  If you have some crazy urge to fill in the rest of the lyrics, please avoid posting any explicit material.  I won't be posting any explicit stuff, and neither will you.

I dunno why but most music related games never last...

Anyway..

I know that one!! Without googleing it!

Welcome to the jungle by some long hair dudes...ok i know the name of the song but not the band... don't kill me...

[MrVegetable 2]

Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses

 

Great song!

[fitchy 3]

This should be fun.  Can we throw in our own lyrics or just yours?

[RadioheadFan 1]

This will be an awesome game! I would have answered that if I wasn't too late...oh well.

[The_Dalai_Llama 15]

This one has to go to MrVegetable.  Sorry, Masher, but you only got it half right.  The answer is Welcome to the Jungle by Guns n' Roses.

As for fitchy's question, sorry, but I'll be picking the songs.  It's up to you to guess.

#2.  More difficult, and you must guess the original artist.

You leave the Pennsylvania Station 'bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore

[nirgal23 23]

HAHA - easy (My granps is a Glen Miller fan - and the Glen Miller Orchestra did this way back when!)

its Chattanooga Choo Choo by Tex Beneke & The Modernaires (together with The Glen Miller Orchestra)

[RadioheadFan 1]

Hmmm...I might have known that with a little research...but oh well, looks like it's over now. People really know their song lyrics!

RHF

[The_Dalai_Llama 15]

Nice work, nirgal.  It is the Chattanooga Choo Choo by the Glenn Miller Orchestra.  Listen to the song here .

#3.  This song is closer to our time.  Name that song.

You blow a fuse
Zing boom
The devil cuts loose
Zing boom
So what's the use
Wow bam
Of falling in love

[MrVegetable 2]

It's all so quiet by Bjork! I know my stuff!!

[RadioheadFan 1]

Aargh...you guys are too fast!

[The_Dalai_Llama 15]

Oh so close, MrVegetable, but I will accept it.  The lyrics are from It's Oh So Quiet by Bj

[RadioheadFan 1]

I got it, for once! It's Phish, with Fee. I hope that's right...I was listening to a Phish album the other day, that's how I know, lol. I might've got the songs mixed up though...

RHF

Edit: Sorry for breaking the double post rule, but I'm tired of other people winning, and I just wanted one point. Promise I won't do it again.

[MrVegetable 2]

I agree with radioheads guess.

RadioheadFan, remember the 2 post rule.

[The_Dalai_Llama 15]

This one goes to RadioheadFan.  The song is Fee by Phish.  Nice job.

Quick note:  the 2-post rule doesn't apply here since this is a trivia-based game with its own spam rules.  Also, anybody can post after new lyrics are posted.  The 12-hour rule applies to guesses to the same lyric.  I think that's worded right.

#5.  Name that tune!

I'll even learn to like the taste of whiskey
In fact you'll hardly recognize your wife
I buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancy
For my journey to the wilder side of life

[nirgal23 23]

I hate to say this but I have a whole load of Tammy Wynette on my MP3 player and this is called your good girls gonna go bad

[RadioheadFan 1]

Hmmm...I guess you'll know when they play Stand By Your Man, right? I have no clue, but if by chance it's not Tammy Wynette, I'll guess Terri Clark for an artist.

RHF

[MrVegetable 2]

Your good girl's gonna go bad by Tammy Wynette! My parents were music freaks back then so they have all sorts of stuff. So I have nearly 15 years of this kind of music being played! Like I said, I know my stuff!

[The_Dalai_Llama 15]

The Tammy Wynette fan got it.  Nirgal23 is correct.  The answer is Your Good Girls Gonna Go Bad.

#6.  Kickin' it old school.

The music is movin'
And homeboys is coolin'
And everything is on schedule
And I'm rulin'

[RadioheadFan 1]

Oh, that is old-school, isn't it? I believe it's Doug E. Fresh, with The Greatest Entertainer. I know my old-school hip hop.

RHF

[dev 47]

Isn't that called the Great Entertainer?

I always thought it was called the Greatest Entertainer. You're probably right though.

[The_Dalai_Llama 15]

RadioheadFan got it right.  It is the Greatest Entertainer by Doug E. Fresh.

#7.  Who will break the 3-way tie?

White collar conservative flashin

[RadioheadFan 1]

Ooh, sounds like the Beastie Boys...might be wrong though, I know a lot about them, this sounds a lot like their lyrics. Is it from To The 5 Boroughs?

RHF

[dev 47]

lol, now that song is running through my head...

If 6 was 9 by Jimi Hendrix

[MrVegetable 2]

Shoot! Dev got there before me!!!

[The_Dalai_Llama 15]

Dev a Hendrix fan?  Who know?

Good work, Dev.  The lyrics are from If 6 Was 9.

#8.  So, what do you think?

Too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go round

[Fairlane500 8]

Ahh, something on the verge of my territory. I believe that's Genesis, Land of Confusion.

[The_Dalai_Llama 15]

Fairlane knows his Genesis.  That is Land of Confusion.

#9.  So have these songs stuck in your head?

Her folks were always putting me down
They said I came from the wrong side of town
They told her that I was bad
But she knew I was sad

[RadioheadFan 1]

Sounds rappish...maybe from Tupac Shakur?
