Post 200!

[active_apathy]

Which means another Arbitrary Milestone, which means another one of these music!quiz thingies.

Which means I needed to pick some kind of theme, which - this time - is questions that fit each of the other four themes.

[Insert generic onomatopoeia of excitement]

Part One: Lines Containing the Song Title

Name the song and the artist.

02: Meat Loaf - Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are (princesslaurene)

There's a world to explore
Tales to tell back on shore
I just spent ________
________

Part Two: First Lines

These ones give the first line(s) of the song. Again, title and artist.
There's no guarantee as to whether the title is or isn't in the line(s) quoted.

09: Metallica - ...And Justice For All (mrpyro)
Halls of justice painted green

10: Going Through The Motions, from Once More With Feeling (fireyfox)
If memory serves, these are also the first lines of the episode.
Every single night, the same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight

11: The Doobie Brothers - Listen To The Music (captainsblog)
Don’t you feel it growin’, day by day
People gettin’ ready for the news

Oh, we got to let the music play

12: [artist] - [title]
The valley green was so serene
In the middle ran a stream so blue

13: Genesis - I Can't Dance (riverchild)
Hot sun beating down
Burning my feet just walking around
Hot sun making me sweat
’gators getting close, hasn’t got me yet

14: [artist] - [title]
Well alright, so I'm being foolish
Well alright, let people know
About the dreams and wishes you wish
In the night when the lights are low

15: Coldplay - Speed of Sound (riverchild)
How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?

16: [artist] - [title]
Livin' easy, lovin' free,
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Askin' nothin', leave me be,
Takin' everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme,
Ain't nothin' I would rather do
Goin' down, party time,
My friends are gonna be there, too
Yeah...

Part Three: Mondegreens

These are lyrics misheard by silly, silly people. Title, artist, and correct line.

17: Elton John - Your Song (fireyfox)
Misheard: If I was a skeleton, but then again, a gnome

Correct line: If I was a sculptor, but then again, no

18: Bryan Adams - Summer of '69 (lesslikeyou)
Misheard: Standing on your mother's corpse,
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and with the hammer in my hand,

You told me that you'd wait forever

Misheard: Sweet man, the flan they made put an end to you

Misheard: Did you exchange
A walk on part of the wall
For a lean bone in a cage

Correct line: Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage

Part Four: Lost in Translation

Both of the following have been repeatedly translated with Babelfish, making a hideous mess of them. I'm after the title and artist.

25: Sonny Rhodes (and Joss Whedon) - Ballad of Serenity (lesslikeyou, first of many. There's an acre of right answers.)

If it takes my love, it takes my country takes me, where I cannot be me me I interest not, he is me still can you the sky of me does not take takes the black color declares me freely to it it part that the I comin ' fogos back is not the country and the sea to cook that cannot take the sky of me there, to be no place is me can, given that I found serenity, but cannot take the sky of me

26: Prince - When Doves Cry (lesslikeyou)

to excavate, if becomes it vocês illustration and if compromet-me-er in a kiss that the sweat of your body can covered vocês me, mine favori vocês this to represent can? they dream, if can a court an ocean of the Veilchen in the curious attitudes floraison of animal impact that believe to the heat the heat between me and as they can you necessarily me leave itself of foot?

01: Metallica - Wherever I May Roam

07: Fiona Apple - The First Taste

18: Bryan Adamas - Summer of '69

Misheard: Standing on your mother's corpse,
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and with the hammer in my hand,
I knew that it was now or never

Correct lines: Standin' on your momma's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never

25: Sonny Rhodes (Joss Whedon) - Ballad of Serenity

Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me. Take me out to the black, tell em I ain't comin back. Burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me. Have no place I can be, since I found Serenity. You can't take the sky from me.

26: Prince - When Doves Cry

Not typing the lyrics out.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Yes, Yes, Yes (apart from the spelling), Yes (everyone's going to get that one) and Yes.

[one-bullet-left.livejournal.com]

01: Metallica- Anywhere I Roam

04: Billy Joel- Just The Way You Are

06: Jesse Cook (can't remember the vocalist's name)- Fall At Your Feet (My GOD I love that song!)

10: Once More With Feeling/Buffy- Going Through the Motions (and gorramn you for putting it in my head AGAIN!)

17: Elton John Your Song If I was a sculptor, but then again, no...

18: Bryan Adams Summer of '69 Standin' on your mama's porch, you told me that you'd wait for ever, oh and when you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never

25: SERENITYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!


And there are a few in there I SHOULD know, but my brain isn't workin' so well tonight.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

1: Yes, but second. :)
4: Yes.
6: Song, yes, but that's a cover. When someone gets the original one, I'll point you toward it. I'm partial to Clare Bowditch's cover of it, too.
10: Yes, and it was stuck in mine, so I thought I'd share.
17: Yes.
18: Yes, but second.
25: I hope everyone gets that one.

[one-bullet-left.livejournal.com]

ARGH! I didn't get "don't fear the reaper" and that one is so bloody OBVIOUS.

*sulks*

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Linkyness as promised. Fall At Your Feet is a Crowded House song.

[riverchild.livejournal.com]

13: Genesis - I Can't Dance (I think. Definitely hearing Phil Collins in my head.)

15: Coldplay - Speed of Sound

20: Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Correct line: Spare him his life from this monstrosity

22: Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water
Correct line: Smoke on the water (and fire in the ska-high)

I would also have known 18 and 25 (natch!), but I must bow to lesslikeyou's superior speed typing-no-jutsu.

[eighthcloud.livejournal.com]

My friend, you bow to no one... or something.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

13: Yes, but Phil played drums in Genesis.
15: Yes.
20: Yes.
22: Yes.

It isn't compulsory to know 25, but I do look favourably upon it.

[mrpyro.livejournal.com]

9) Metallica - ...And Justice for all (I'm sure I've answered this before in one of your music quizzes)

5) Blue Oyster Cult - Don't fear the reaper

20) Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

22) Deep Purple - Smoke on the water. The name of the song is also the correct line.

I was beaten to 1, 18, and 25 (and probably more by the time I hit post)

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

9: Yes.
5: Also yes.
20: Yes, but beaten.
22: Yes, but beaten, and wasn't that a bit tricky?

And you're all telling me you know 25. :D

[aberrantangels]

05. Blue Öyster Cult*, "Don't Fear the Reaper"

13. Genesis, "I Can't Dance"

20. Spare him his life from this monstrosity
— Queen, "Bohemian Rhapsody"

21. She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
— Genesis, "Invisible Touch"

* Yes, they really do have an umlaut in their name.

[aberrantangels]

And I see I've been beaten to most've them. That's what happens when you don't refresh enough, I guess. T_T Weeping... weeping...

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

You can have 21. *nods some*

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

#24: Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Correct: And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Indeed it is.

[silmaril.livejournal.com]

There's a "temperature is rising" in 23, but I suck at this game. I got 25, but I also suspect everyone who read you also did :-).

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Actually, there's no temperatures in 23 at all.
Think a bit more geographically.

[palmer-kun.livejournal.com]

Aiya! Everyone already got ones I could get.

What shocks and appalls me is the one that nobody has gotten yet.

3: Nightwish - Over The Hills And Far Away

Listen to more Nightwish people!

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

nyctanessa suggested them to me not so very long ago. Mislabelled filed on the Interwebs have led to the artist for the other one of these I thought you'd get, and to Lacuna Coil and Within Temptation.

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

02: Meat Loaf, Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are

06: Crowded House, Fall At Your Feet

08: Split Enz, Six Months In A Leaky Boat

Did I tell you I went to see the Finn Brothers in concert earlier this year and was in the third row? Bliss!

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Yes to all, and yes, you did! :)

[leila82.livejournal.com]

Oooh! I know...one!! (or at least, one that hasn't been answered yet).

23. Toto - Africa

Sure as Kilimanjaro rises
like Olympus above the Serengetti

The only reason I know this is because my university had an acapella group that did an amazing version of this song. Every time they had a concert, someone in the audience would request this.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

5 points to leila82, for the correct spelling of Kilimanjaro. 5 points from leila82, for incorrect spelling of Serengeti. 10 points to leila82, for a correct answer.

Serengetti looks more like a kind of pasta. :)

[tears-of-nienna.livejournal.com]

Ooh! 19 is James Taylor, "Fire and Rain." The correct lyrics are Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you, I think.

*throws confetti* Congratulations on the milestone!!

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

19 is indeed James Taylor. Yay for you! :)

And I wrote 200 posts! Good for me!

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Dayumn, your stalkers are speedy.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

There's some left.

[captainsblog.livejournal.com]

How dare you post these when I'm on my way out the door to work:

First line 11: Listen to the Music by the Doobs

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Work later? :p
