Name that Tune

Or maybe it's not really like 'Name that Tune' at all. I don't know because I never officially watched that show. Anywho, I saw this fun game on Reluctant's blog and thought it was a lot of fun. I really stunk at guessing her music. Let's see how y'all do at guessing mine. If you stink at mine, then just click up there and maybe you'll know all of hers.

Here's how you play:

1. Pull up your playlist (iTunes, MP3 player, whatev) and put it on random.

2. Take lyrics from the 1st 20 songs.

3. Make your readers guess what the songs are.

4. No googling

(Here is the dealio, though, I did not follow the rules persactly. I didn't load the songs on my ipod so I picked the first few songs that I would have loaded, had I been the one that loaded them. Does that make sense? And I couldn't make it to 20. Turns out this game is a lot of work.)

Good luck and Echo, you better wait till everyone else has guessed since you are the sweet, wonderful person who loaded my ipod. (Thanks for doing that by the way, you're the best PIC a girl could ever hope for)



1.

Hooo oa
Uhhhh
A yeah
I had it all
But I let it slip away
Couldn't see I treated you wrong
Now I wander around
Feeling down and cold
Trying to believe that you're gone



2.

You may look at me and think

that I'm just a young girl

but I'm not just a young girl

baby this is what I'm lookin for.

I want a sexy, independent, I ain't wit

so you already know. I'm not bein too dramatic

that's the way I've gotta have it.



3.

When I talk to my friends so quietly

'who he think he is?' look at what you did to me

tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress,

if you ain't there, ain't nobody else to impress.

the way that you know what I thought I knew

It's the beat that my heart skips when I'm with you

But I still don't understand, how the love your doing no one else can.



4.

Spare a little candle

save some light for me

figures up ahead moving in the trees

white skin in linen

perfume on my wrist

and the full moon that hangs over

these dreams in the mist.



5.

Can you hear me calling

out your name?

you know that I'm falling and

I don't know what to say

I'll speak a little louder,

I'll even shout,

you know that I'm proud and

I can't get the words out.



6.

Maybe I didn't treat you

quite as good as I should have

Maybe I didn't love you

quite as often as I could have

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time



7.

So tired of broken hearts and losing at this game

before I start this dance

I take a chance at telling you

I want more than just romance

You are my destiny, I can't let go

Baby can't you see

Cupid, please take your aim at me.



8.

Some days it don't come easy

Some days it don't come hard

Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end

Some nights you're breathing fire

Some nights you're carved in ice

Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again
Maybe I'm crazy, but it's crazy and it's true

I know you can save me, no-one else can save me now but you
As long as the planets are turning

As long as the stars are burning

As long dreams are coming true

You'd better believe it, that I would do



9.

Lalalalalala...

Now that I've lost everything to you

You say you wanna start something new

And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'

Baby, I'm grievin'

But if you wanna leave, take good care

Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear

But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

10.

Think what that money could bringI'd buy everything

Clean out Vivienne WestwoodIn my Galliano gown

No, wouldn't just have one hoodA Hollywood mansion if I could

Please book me first class to my fancy house in London town

11.

I don't want to go another day

So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind

Seems like everybody is breaking upThrowing their love away

I know I got a good thing right here

That's why I say (Hey)

12.

The waves keep on crashing on me for some reason

But your love keeps on coming like a thunderbolt

Come here a little closer'

Cause I wanna see you, baby, real close up

(Get over here)

13.

I was once I was strolling one very hot summer's day

When I thought laid myself down to restIn a big field of tall grass

I laid there in the sun and felt it carressing my face

As i fell asleep and dreamed

I dreamed i was in a hollywood movie

And that i was the star of the movieThis really blew my mind

The fact that me an overfed long haired leaping nome

Should be the star of a hollywood movie, hmmm

14.

This bloody road remains a mystery

This sudden darkness fills the air

What are we waiting for? Wont anybody help us?

What are we waiting for? We cant afford to be innocent

Stand up and face the enemy

Its a do or die situation

15.

Suckin on chilli dogs outside the tastee freeze

Diane sittin on jackies lap

Hes got his hands between her knees

Jackie say, hey diane lets run offBehind a shady tree

Dribble off those bobby brooks

Let me do what I please

16.

I dont mind you comin here

And wastin all my time

cause when youre standin oh so near

I kinda lose my mind

Its not the perfume that you wear

Its not the ribbons in your hair

I dont mind you comin here

And wastin all my time

17. (this one isk not technically on my ipod, but had I loaded my ipod it would definately be on there. it is by one of my fav bands of all time.)

In the howlin' wind

Comes a stingin' rain

See it drivin' nails

Into the souls on the tree of pain.

From the firefly

A red orange glow

See the face of fear

Runnin' scared in the valley below.


I think it is possible that my dance moves were put into question in the comments section of my last post. I believe that my good friend (recently downgraded to 'good' from 'best' because of a girl trip she and a couple of other friends went on that I'm obviously extremely jealous of and still having issues with) was being sarcastic when she said,

"They are so precious and I am excited. I am sure that she is going to have all the moves just like her mother."

I think she was challenging my dancing ability. That's fine. That's why I have a camera that has a movie switch. I think I proved my point.

Leah said...

Whatever there is no way that I would have been able to go had it not been for Erin. Trust me you were not being excluded. I would love to take a Leah and Amanda trip just as soon as I start making more money than I spend and boy do you have the moves. That was hot!

echoeve said...

I love the dance moves.

I would just like to say I did load your ipod and I thought I would be able to get all the songs but I think I only know half. I will look again and post later today what I think the answers are.

echoeve said...

Okay I looked at it again and I only know these numbers
1,4,6,8,14,15

I do not think that this is very good at all.

I am not good at just reading the lyrics, I need music.LOL

This game's fun.
