Guess the Song..

[Ninkasi]

This is just like all the rest "guess the..." word games. This one is to guess the name and artist of the song from the lyrics given.

First one:

"For six long years, I've been in trouble.
No pleasure here on earth I've found"


Edit: the song has to be kinda well known. Can't be a local band you saw down at the pub the other nite.

HINT: Its from a movie with George Cloney (sp??) in it.

[ExtraDog]

Oh myeah myeah myeah myeah I remember them. They was colored fellas I believe.
Yessah, they're a fine bunch a boys. They sang in the yonder can and skeedadled.

[Ninkasi]

oh, no no no, those ain't be coloured boys, no sir'e!
They be white folk, they be!

[Kram]

Alright redneck talk...let me try

Myeeerr, Darleen, get me mine shoes out of that there dumpster

was the movie: O'Brother Where Art Thou?

[Ninkasi]

Yes it is, but was is the group that sang the song, and what is the name of the song?? Come on Kram you should know it.. I got it off of you! Hint hint!

[Kram]

SoggyBottom Boys
Man of constant sorrow

[Ninkasi]

And we have a Winner!!! Your song Kram

[Kram]

OK,

Lyric:
"Peter Patrick Pitter Patters on the window"

HINT:"Ben Stiller"

Ninkasi you cant answer this one

[Ninkasi]

I thought you mite do something by this artist.....

FINE! I won't answer! :crying:

[Ninkasi]

Hey Kram, I don't think anyone wants to join in with our little game..... :crying:

[DannyB]

I want to, but I don't know the darned answer! Give us another hint...

[Kram]

Hint: HIS initials are JJ

[Ninkasi]

he's a surfie

[DannyB]

I don't even have a guess. I don't think I even know the song.

[DannyB]

It might make this easier if we used the same format as the Super Looney Trivia thread.

Maybe if we put the decade(50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's), genre, and that type stuff in the question it would help.

Ninkasi you cant answer this one is it a song from the Wedding Singer?

[Ninkasi]

Thats a good idea Danny! ok it is in the decade of '00. He's kinda a newish artist.

[Kram]

Hey, hes been around for ages. I guess it might have been to hard.

ill tell you the answer,

Jack Johnson - "Taylor"

-The hint was because Ben Stiller plays a major roll in the film clip of the song

[Ninkasi]

try another one Kram the man

[DannyB]

I've never heard of ole JJ myself. Is he an Aussie or international star?

[Kram]

He is from Hawaii originally, but hes huge in america. I can assure you

[DannyB]

So where's our next question??????

[Kram]

"My friends got a girlfriend man he hates that *****, he tells me every day"

[Ninkasi]

EASY!!

The Offspring - 'Why don't you get a job?'

New Question:

"Is this a cure? Or is this a Disease??"

[DannyB]

Show me how to live!
Audioslave

[Kram]

Damn thats a cool song

[DannyB]

Next one:

decade: 60's
genre: rock n roll

"picture yourself in a boat on a river"

[Kram]

THE BEATLES!
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds


Ninkasi is a big beatles fan, im suprised he didnt get it. Unless im wrong, but i dont think so

[Ninkasi]

Damn you Kram!! I almost had that! You were too quick for me! :crying:

[Ninkasi]

Besides I'm only just getting to know some of the songs.. I've only really started listening to them.. good stuff!

Yes! Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.


Your turn Kram! I'm surprised you guys can go back that far.

[Ninkasi]

I think at the moment 'Sgt. Peppers' is my fav album.. Then I think 'Help!' or 'Revolver'

[Kram]

you'll be amazed what i can do...

Lyric:"I must confess, that my lonelyness..."

Like i said you'll be suprised, :D

[Ninkasi]

Britney Spears "Hit me baby one more time"

Nice Kram! :confused:

[ExtraDog]

Thanks, Ninkasi.. I didn't want to admit to knowing that one.

How good is that song?

[Kram]

"You aint caught a rabbit and you aint no friend o mine"

[Ninkasi]

Elvis - hounddog (is it?)

[Kram]

yes your go

[Ninkasi]

I wasn't sure if that was the actual song title..

"I left it too late, baby I hurt your pride.
I turned to you, you were no where in sight"

[Ninkasi]

Any one?!? Come on! He's a great Aussie artist, was once in a HUGE band, then went solo, now I think they are getting abck together (again).

Thats all the hints I'm giving!

[Kram]

not sure Ninkasi

[bassrek]

Is he from Men at Work?...still don't know the song, though...

[ExtraDog]

He's from INXS. I've never heard any of his solo work. I guess he's not that popular here in the US.

[bassrek]

You sure it's the guy (Michael Hutchense sp?) from INXS? I wouldn't put too much stock in them getting back together since he killed himself a few years back.

[ExtraDog]

Sorry, just had a brain fart. They're talking about Jimmy Barnes. I was thinking of an old rumor that he would replace Michael in INXS. Probably BS.

I hear he's really popular down-under but couldn't get much of a following North of the Equator.

[Ninkasi]

You're right ExtraDog, Its Jimmy Barnes. The song was "When your love is gone" great song!

Anyways, you can post the next question as you got the right person.

[ExtraDog]

Next Lyrics:
Its' unkind, but if I met you in a scissor fight
I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone

[bassrek]

Incubus - Megalomaniac

Hmmm...any relation to picking this song and the Spain/GWB thread???

[ExtraDog]

No comment, but bassrek has the next go.

I'll take the liberty of drawing my own conclusions :)

Let's go back to 1963 and tap the blues for the next one:
"I gave you a brand new Ford,
You said, "I want a Cadillac".
I bought you a $10 dinner,
You said, "Thanks for the snack".
I let you live in my penthouse,
You said it was just a shack.
I gave you seven children,
And now you want to give 'em back."

[bassrek]

No blues fans here? It's by BB King, if that helps any...

[ExtraDog]

Is that Payin' the Cost to be the Boss?

[bassrek]

No...but you're just a few years off.

Another hint - the title of the song has the word "Blue" in it.

[ExtraDog]

How Blue is that?

[bassrek]

Eh, close enough..."How Blue Can You Get". I'll give it to you because no one else is guessing. Your go.

[ExtraDog]

Something from '93:

give me a dollar or give me 50 cents
let me take it back if that ain't what I meant
give me a coat or give me a bite
give me a light bulb and make sure it's bright
give me the moon or give me everywhere
give me some powder to spray up in the air

[bassrek]

The first couple of lines rang a bell...I want to say something by the Spin Doctors??? "Litt Miss Can't Be Wrong" maybe?

[ExtraDog]

Not the Spin Docs.

[ExtraDog]

A hint, they're from your neck of the woods bassrek.

[bassrek]

Heh...could I have my post deleted to remove any evidence that I retain Spin Doctors knowledge? :D You gotta admit, "Two Princes" was pretty catchy...

[bassrek]

Just had an epiphany!!! Scratch that last post. That is King's X "Dogman"...of the most underrated bands ever! Faith Hope Love is a great record.
/Edit
I know Dogman is on the Dogman record...just making a comment about Faith Hope Love :)

No shame.. I haven't played it in a while but I think I still have a copy of Pocket Full of Kryptonite lying around somewhere. Spindoctors had kind of a proto-Dave Matthews type sound.

I suspected a bassist from Houston would know their King's X. Well done, your turn bassrek.

:D...Doug Pinnick has a sweet bass tone.

OK, here's the next one:
"Time, I need time
To win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love
Can bring back your love someday
I will be there, I will be there"

Clue: I saw King's X open for them in '93 :D I have a suspision this won't be hard for you, Extradog.

That 12 string Hammer Doug plays is bad ass.

[ExtraDog]

Next:

It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel that I'll convey
some inner truth of vast reflection

But I've said nothing so far
And I can keep it up as long as it takes
And it don't matter who you are
If I'm doing my job
Then it's your resolve that breaks

[bassrek]

Blues Traveler, off of the Four record....dang it, what's the name of that stinkin' song...."Hook"! That's it! Great song.

Yeah, the 12-string is nice. Glad you put that King's X song out there, went back and pulled out some of their old CDs...what a great band. I wonder why they never broke through?

Let's see, this ought to be easy:
"I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or a dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me."

[Ninkasi]

oh, oh I know that one... its....rite there.... arrghhh!!!!! I can't remember

Metallica - One!! Yay!!!

[Ninkasi]

take my picture off the wall,
if it just wont sing for you.
Coz all thats left has gone away,
and there's nothing there for you to prove

oh, look what you've done,
you've made a fool of everyone.
oh well, it seems like such fun,
then you loose what you had won.


HINT: A aussie band, that making it big everywhere right now..... At least I hope so

[Kram]

Jet, rollover DJ??

[Ninkasi]

nope, but close

[Ninkasi]

You can google the track name if you want, but it is Jet. You can have it Kram-da-man

That's an Offspring song.. not sure of the title though.
Heaven's so far away or gone away or something like that.

[Kram]

Good one extraDog, it was The Offspring, Gone away

Actually they are Canadian. I had to google it too, so you better try again unless Ninkasi knows the answer.

[Ninkasi]

I know the song name, but not the band, can't remeber their name.

Kram post another one.

btw: That song was banned in the US coz it had war ties

war ties eh? well there you go...

Ok another one:

Words without a sound,

Any better?? This song was used in a few movies, I think the band is kinda a one hit wonder, coz this is the only song I heard from them released, but I have a live album which is pretty new.....

[bassrek]

Wow...either no one knows or no one cares. I'm stumped...

[Ninkasi]

ok then, the song was Sister Hazel - All for you.

new lyrics:

A lot of the songs on that album were names (Magdalena, Rose, Judith, Thomas, Breña) that's why it was called Mer de Noms. (Sea of Names)

There you go. Maynard's a great vocalist. Love his work in Tool, too. Sometimes I filter out the actual words, but I love his singing.

Here's an Aussie band for Nin. They've kind of faded here, but might still be big down there:

It's twelve o'clock, and it's a wonderful day.
I know you hate me, but I'll ask anyway.
Won't you come with me, to a place in a little town.
The only way to get there's to go straight down.
There's no bathroom, and there is no sink.
The water out of the tap is very, hard to drink,
Very hard to drink.

Silverchair - Tomorrow

I thought I'd never remember the name of that song. I could hear the lyrics you posted but the chorus just wouldn't come to me.

[Ninkasi]

Great band at that!

I've got wheels of polished steel
I've got tires that grab the road
I've got seats that selflessly hold my friends

CAKE!!!!!!! I love Cake!!!! Satan is my Motor. One of the most interesting bands musically right now. Haven't heard from them for a while :(

[bassrek]

I'm confident Cake's right, so I'll post. My last blues one didn't take, so let's go a bit more mainstream blues:

Well you've heard about lovin' givin' sight to the blind,
My baby's love do cause the sun to shine.
She my sweet little thing,
She my _ _ _ _ _ &nbsp; _ _ _ &nbsp; _ _ _. <--name of song
She my sweet little baby,
I'm her little lover boy.

[ExtraDog]

If I hadn't made me, I would've been made somehow.
If I hadn't assembled myself, I'd've fallen apart by now.
If I hadn't made me, I'd be more inclined to bow.
Powers that be would have swallowed me up,
but that's more than I can allow.
If you let them make you, they'll make you paper-mache.
At a distance you're strong, until the wind comes
then you crumble and blow away.

[bassrek]

Incubus - Make Yourself

[bassrek]

This one is in my top 5 all-time albums. Not my favorite song on the disc, but the most recognizable:

Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass

[ExtraDog]

I second that. The Real Thing was a very good album though don't expect it all to sound like Epic that was a unique song. They have a killer cover of War Pigs on it.

Sorry to keep you waiting, I thought someone else would take it as I was gone and all. Here ya go:

Is this all that's left
Of my life before me
Straight jacket memories, sedative highs
No happy ending like they've always promised
There's got to be something left for me

fair nuff - but its a huge band, and I'm sure they made it over the pond.

We're talking early half of the 80's here.

[Kram]

It seems to be that one by the mad's or something...no no, the madness!! But no idea what the song is called

[bassrek]

ExtraDog, I think the Queesnryche song was "The Mission".

Back to Horus' song...if it is Madness, they were a one hit + one minor hit wonder over here. "Our House" was their big hit here, but I don't recognize your lyrics as being from that song. The minor hit was "House of Fun". Can't remember the words, but I think the song was about a, um, well, let's just say the lyrics don't sound like they'd be from that song, either.

[Horus_Kol]

You got the right band - sorry, I thought they made it bigger in the US, I've heard some peeps talking about them in a music forums before.

I'm shocked that no-one from the UK has got it though...

I'll give them a little longer.


"House of Fun" was all about growing up and joining the secret society of adults.

That sounds like a good excuse..
But that's the right answer.

Looks like it's your turn bassrek.

[bassrek]

OK -- late 80s, power pop-ish, Aussie band.

Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share

[Horus_Kol]

Actually, I was thinking of another one from even earlier:


We’re caught in a trap
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much baby

[bassrek]

OK, cleared mine out. I'll use it in the future, assuming I get another one right ;) Need to let my brain process those lyrics now.

[Horus_Kol]

sorry - didn't realise you had posted some lyrics - d'oh.

Tell you what, lets run 'em simultaneous like, and see how long it takes for someone to get confused :)

lol That's cruel...I like it :) I put it back. I just hope I'm not the one who gets confused.

Man, I can hear the "Because I love you too much baby" lyric from your post in my head, but can't place the rest of the song :bah:

The Midnight Oil song is right. I had to Google the other song because it was killing me. Right artist, almost right song. If you get the answer, does it mean you have to post 3 lyrics now???

Suspicious Minds then...? My inner Elvis must have got the lyrics wrong. I'll have to have a word with that guy. Probably just not been eating enough fried chicken lately.

[ExtraDog]

Now I’m mumblin’ and I’m screamin’
And I don’t know what I’m singin’
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin’
I still don’t know what I’m singin’
We’re so loud and incoherent
Boy, this oughta bug your parents
Yeah

[ExtraDog]

It's a wierd song.

Heh...yeah I got that :) Sounds Yankovich-esque. I can't remember many of his lyrics, though.

[ExtraDog]

Well, we don't sound like Madonna
Here we are now, we're *******
Sing distinctly? We don't wanna
Buy our album, we're *******
A garage band from Seattle
Well, it sure beats raising cattle
Yeah

[Joe]

is sounds like The Streets although i wouldn't know a song name

[Ninkasi]

werid al - smells like nirvana!

[Ninkasi]

down in the workshop,
all the elves were making toys.
for the good gentile girls,
and the good gentile boys.
When the boss busted in,
nearly scared 'em half to death.
had a rifle in his hands,
and cheap wisky on his breath

[ExtraDog]

Another Weird Al song:
The Night Santa Went Crazy

[Ninkasi]

Thats rite!! I wanted to continue with the weird al theme, and plus I was listening to it at the time! :D

Babble babble *itch *itch
Rebel rebel party party
Sex sex sex and don't forget the "violence"
Blah blah blah got your lovey-dovey sad-and-lonely
Stick your STUPID SLOGAN in:
Everybody sing along.
Everything has been said before
There's nothing left to say anymore
When it's all the same
You can ask for it by name...

[Ninkasi]

oh, it sounds fmailar.... but I have no idea at the moment

[Horus_Kol]

It's Marilyn Manson, but I can't remember the song title.

"The Fight Song"?

Close enough Horus. The radio edit name of the song is "The New Stuff."

[Horus_Kol]

I just realised I got it in The Matrix Reloaded soundtrack - they use the non-radio name :)

um...

okay - one from the 70's


Sun is shinin' in the sky
there ain't a cloud in sight.
It's stopped rainin'
ev'rybody's in a play.
And don't you know
it's a beautiful new day


I'll give a bit of clue - I heard the tune on a movie trailer recently.

[ExtraDog]

ELO
Mr. Blue Sky

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog’s eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.

[bassrek]

Beatles - I Am The Walrus

Now, I've never been good at interpreting lyrics anyway, but just what on earth is this song about?

(Those aren't lyrics, that's an honest question :))

[bassrek]

One of my all-time favorites

Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
Let me remember things I love,
Stoppin’ at the log where catfish bite,
Walkin’ along the river road at night,
Barefoot girls dancin’ in the moonlight.

(Those aren't lyrics, that's an honest question :))

Here is the write up about "I am the Walrus" found on IamTheBeatles.com:


A great song by Lennon, and those of us who admire him greatly, rate this as one of his best. This disjointed song was written from an amalgamation of at least three other songs he was working on at the time, but which he thought were not good enough on their own. Many of the images were taken from actual events, such as the policemen, which came about when he heard their car sirens one day, and he tried to copy the rhythm of the sirens, and was originally one of these unfinished songs. The second song was a pastoral melody created at his Weybridge home garden, and the third was a nonsense song about sitting on a corn flake (he liked ®Kellogg's Corn Flakes). However, much of this song is made up of nonsensical images and words invented by Lennon, such as semolina pilchards, elementary penguins, texpert, crabalocker, etc. One of his inspirations for these ludicrous images was Bob Dylan. Lennon believed that Dylan got away with murder in some of his lyrics, so as Lennon explained it in later years said "I can write this crap, too." The only lyric in the song where Lennon was serious is the first line, where he describes his belief in unity of all things. Lennon invented the line 'elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna' asa jibe at Allen Ginsberg who chanted Hare Krishna at public rallies, and the walrus came from the Lewis Carroll poem, The Walrus and The Carpenter."

Those lyrics are starting to sound familiar.. I'm sure they'll gel into a song in my head pretty soon.

[Horus_Kol]

any kind of period for that song Bass?

[ExtraDog]

Oh yeah, that's that old CCR song Green River.

[ExtraDog]

Do you remember
Back in 1966?
Country jesus, hillbilly blues,
That’s where I learned my licks.

Okay, have some more of the same.. You're gonna kick yourself though.

We can all thank doctor b

With lots of watts he took control,
The first one of it’s kind.
So listen to your radio
Most each and every night
’cause if you don’t I’m sure you won’t
Get to feeling right.

Anywhere, y’all,
Everywhere, y’all,

[Horus_Kol]

sounds kinda like Radio Ga-Ga by Queen, but I can't quite get the lyrics to fit the song.

[Joe]

my dad likes so listen to old songs so i'm gonna say ZZ Top

thats all i know, not a clue on a song name

[bassrek]

Originally posted by joe2kiss

Sounds like it could be pre-Eliminator ZZ Top, but I'm drawing a blank on this one.

[ExtraDog]

Don't know what to say guys, you got the band right and this song get's about as much airtime as any other ZZ Top song I can think of. I think it's from the Fandango album.

If nobody comes up with a title, I'll post a new one in a few hours.

[ExtraDog]

Okay, that was "I heard it on the X" by ZZ Top..

This is the next one:

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins so I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray paint the vegetables
Dog food skulls with the beefcake pantyhose

[bassrek]

D'oh...I've heard the song a million times. I've never been able to decipher the lyrics.

This one's a slam dunk - "Loser" by Beck

[bassrek]

Let's go back to 1986:

"Your pops caught you smokin' and he says "No way!"
That hippocrite smokes 2 packs a day,
Man living at home is such a drag,
Your mom threw away your best porno mag."

[Horus_Kol]

well, I got the song...

Darn, my turn again...


As far as you take me, that's where I believe
the realm of soft delusions, floating on the leaves



1995

[bassrek]

Any additional clues you can give, HK...maybe the genre?

Also, is sof the actual word, or is it soft (or something else)?

[Horus_Kol]

sorry Bass - typo..


clue:

this song wasn't it, but the group have been on a Batman soundtrack.

[bassrek]

Hmm, the only Batman band I can think of is U2. I don't remember them having anything out in '95, though.

[Ninkasi]

The words sound familar...
Plus Smashing Pumpkins where a batman band... one of their songs?

[bassrek]

Originally posted by Ninkasi

They were? Didn't realize that. That does sound like a Pumpkin-esque lyric and they did have the big Mellon Collie double CD out in '95...the lryics don't ring a bell, though :(

[Ninkasi]

Yeh, I think it was Batman Forever they were on...

But I still can't think what that song is! :(

[Horus_Kol]

nah, U2 did the Batman Forever theme.

you're right that it's the Pumpkins (who did Batman and Robin theme).

I'll give you the album - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

No more clues after this :)

[ExtraDog]

Maybe if I just start naming songs off of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness I'll get it eventually.

[Ninkasi]

Yeh, that could work! I have no idea myself

[gildash2]

sorry, anyone know this one?:
(music)i close my eyes when i get to sad,
i thank god for the nothern band,
i close my eyes and i count to ten,

Not necessarily, it's just that gildash2 there doesn't seem to have a grasp on the rules of the game. I thought that maybe he just had a couple of songs in his head and didn't know who did 'em. So I was going to do him a solid and help him out but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Rulz:
1)You get to post lyrics only if it's your turn (one song at a time please.)
2)It's your turn if you are the first to guess the name of the last song quoted.
3)NO GOOGLEING...!!!

If nobody gets your song after a while it's nice to start giving some hints or just post another song and wonder to yourself, "Do these people live under a rock or do I just listen to some messed up tunes?"

[Horus_Kol]

well, I have been away for the weekend.

I gave plenty of hints.

The song was Porcelina


New lyrics:


Hot sun beating down
burning my feet just walking around.

Hot sun making me sweat
'Gators getting close, hasn't got me yet


The band has three guys in it, and was released in 1991.

[gildash2]

so.. sorry for not following the rules, but does anyone know the song?

[ExtraDog]

Okay, a hint. Here is the whole song.

Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window
Go back to sleep
Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind what other voices say
They don't care about you, like I do, like I do
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
See, they don't give a phuck about you, like I do.
Just stay with me, safe and ignorant,
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same
I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself
Swayin' to the rhythm of the new world order and
Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
The boogeymen are coming
The boogeymen are coming
Keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of the war drums
Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
Hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones
Don't love you son,
Go back to sleep

Sorry, but it's one of those songs where the title isn't in the lyrics. :evilsnik:

Ahh, the dreaded mass public. I expected the lack of recognition here in the US, but it's the same over there, too? It's a shame, really, a band that's been around for 25+ years and has influenced pretty much every hard rock/metal band since the early 80s and they're only known for 1 song by the masses.
