Guess The Song: A Meme Game - Year Two!

Friday, August 17th, 2007 at 6:13 am

Phillip and ToonsNTunes have kept this meme alive and well. I checked and today is the anniversary of when I first did it, so as an annual event, here is “Guess The Song 2: Electric Boogaloo”. No, there are no songs from either Breakin’ or the sequel in the list.

This time I did it a little differently. I put the 14,705 songs on Eduardo on random and waited for a song that most would have a chance of having been heard (read: the first 20 songs have hit the charts — except #4 which was too funny to pass up) and to the heck with the obscure stuff that only I would get. All you have to do is put your guesses (title & artist) in the comment section. If you are right, I’ll give you credit and put up a link to your blog. Most importantly — have fun!

  1. Uptown. Downtown. -songtitle- drives ‘em wild with his run around style. Inside. Outside. -songtitle- sends ‘em silly with his starshine-shimmy-shuffle smile. Mama done chased -songtitle- down through the hall, but laugh -songtitle- laugh, he don’t care at all.
    “Little Willy” - Sweet
    Big Daddy
  2. You know you want it. The thing that makes me. What the guys go crazy for. They lose their minds. The way I wind. I think it’s time. La la la la la. Warm it up. La la la la la. The boys are waiting.
    “Milkshake” - Kelis
    Toons N Tunes
  3. I play it off, but I’m dreaming of you. And I’ll keep my cool, but I’m feelin’ -songtitle- to say goobye and I choke. -songtitle- to walk away and I stumble. Though -songtitle- to hide it. It’s clear. My world crumbles when you are not near.
    “I Try” - Macy Gray
    Phillip
  4. Bombs are flying. People are dying. Children are crying. Politicians are lying, too. Cancer is killing. Texaco’s spilling. The whole world’s gone to hell, but how are you?
    “I’m Super” - Big Gay Al
    Kevin
  5. This happened once before when I came to your door. -songtitle- They said it wasn’t you, but I saw you peep through your window.
    “No Reply” - The Beatles
    Big Daddy
  6. Well, I’ve tried before to tell her of the feelings I have for her in my heart. Every time that I come near her, I just lose my nerve as I’ve done from the start.
    “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” - The Police
    Big Daddy
  7. If you wake and don’t want to smile — if it takes just a little while — open your eyes and look at the day. You’ll see things in a different way.
    “Don’t Stop” - Fleetwood Mac
    Big Daddy
  8. The world is a vampire set to drain. Secret destroyers hold you up to the flames and what do I get for my pain? Betrayed desires and a piece of the game.
    “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” - Smashing Pumpkins
    Toons N Tunes
  9. We got fun and games. We got everything you want. Honey, we know the names. We are the people that can find whatever you may need. If you got the money, honey, we got your disease.
    “Welcome To The Jungle” - Guns ‘N Roses
    Funky Brown Chick
  10. I call ya. You ain’t in. What’s this cold reaction? Where’ve you been? Ooo, baby, layin’ it on the line. This is last call. You say that’s all. You can take it fine.
    “Breakdown Dead Ahead” - Bozz Scaggs
    Big Daddy
  11. I want to run. I want to hide. I want to break down the walls that hold me inside.
    “Where The Streets Have No Name (I Can’t Take My Eyes Off You)” - Pet Shop Boys
    Toons N Tunes
  12. And after all the obstacles it’s good to see you now with someone else. And it’s such a miracle that you and me are still good friends. After all that we’ve been through, I know we’re -songtitle-.
    “Cool” - Gwen Stefani
    Kiss My Mike
  13. If you’ve got a problem. Don’t care what it is. You need a hand? I can assure you this: -songtitle-. I’ve got two strong arms. -songtitle- It would sure do me good to do you good.
    “I Can Help” - Billy Swan
    Funky Brown Chick
  14. You keep saying you’ve got something for me. Something you call love, but confess you been messing where you shouldn’t have been messing and now someone else is getting all your best.
    “These Boots Are Made For Walking” - Sam Phillips
    Toons N Tunes
  15. Thought that I was going crazy just having one of those days. Didn’t know what to do ’til there was you and everything went from wrong to right and the stars came out and filled up the sky. The music you were playing really blew my mind.
    “Love At First Sight” - Kylie Minogue
    Toons N Tunes
    (I was glad this came up for I knew you’d love it)
  16. While she’s deceiving me, she’s cuts my security. Has she got a hold on me? I turn to her and say, “Don’t switch the blade on the guy in shades.”
    “Sunglasses At Night” - Corey Hart
    Toons N Tunes
  17. Stand up in a clear, blue morning until you see what can be alone in a cold day dawning. Are you still free? Can you be?
    “While You See A Chance” - Steve Winwood
    Big Daddy
  18. She was pure like snowflakes no one could ever stain. The memory of my angel could never cause me pain. Years went by I’m looking through a girlie magazine and there’s my homeroom angel on the pages in-between.
    “Centerfold” - J. Geils Band
    Big Daddy
  19. With all my heart I love you, baby. Stay with me; you will see my arms will my arms will hold you, baby. Never leave because I believe I’m in love.
    “Sweet Love” - Anita Baker
    Big Daddy
  20. Lovely is the feeling now. Fever — temperature’s raising now. Power is the force of vow that makes it happen. It asks no questions why so get closer to my body now. Just love ’til you don’t know how.
    “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” - Michael Jackson
    Big Daddy
    (This one was hard. I had to look up the lyrics because I couldn’t understand a thing he was singing.)

Bonus obscure lyric: Wanna be the ruler of the galaxy! Wanna be the king of the universe! Let’s meet and have a baby now! Wanna be the empress of fashion! Wanna be the president of Moscow! Let’s meet and have a baby now!
“Song For A New Generation” - The B-52’s
Toons N Tunes

EDIT: Wow, good job, everyone. I’ve never seen this meme with everything marked out. I may have to go a little more obscure next year.

    I’m retarded today! How am I suppose to guess when you give the answers? :P

  9. Scott-O-Rama Says:

    AUUUUGH! I got here too late. I might have even guessed one or two correctly. I knew your bonus song though; it’s not that obscure. Must go listen to that Whammy! album now. It’s my favorite by them.

  10. Big Daddy Says:

    Sorry, didn’t mean to ruin it for everyone.

    I got a little carried away.

    This is the first time I’ve seen this game get wiped out, so that’s cool.

    Cool Meme.

  13. Scott-O-Rama ยป The Music Lyrics Meme - Year Two Says:

    [...] Howard, Phillip, and all the other cool kids are doing another round of the music lyrics meme, and since I had such a blast doing it last year, I thought I’d join in the fun again.  It’s one of the few memes I actually enjoy. [...]

  14. Godwhacker Says:

    Miss Thing, Miss Thing, Miss Thing, she had to pawn her diamond ring. She went on down to Burger King and found they weren’t hiring. A bitch got nowhere to live, a bitch got nowhere to live. Been six months since she lost her job when she called her boss a big fat slob. He looked and smiled and gave her a wink and gave her a note that was very pink.

  15. Howard Says:

    Mike:
    Sorry. I don’t do memes too often, but I really love this one. Who knows I may do it again sooner.

    Godwhacker:
    “I Got My Education” - Uncanny Alliance

    God, I LOVE that song! I had to look all over the place to find the group and then track down a used copy of it.

    “Miss Thing got no where to live! Miss Thing got not where to live!”

  16. Godwhacker Says:

    Do you get the mix with “Get away from my car with that dirty water! Rolling your eyes in the back of your head like you blind…
    …I’ll buy you some food, but I aint giving you no money, you might be trying to buy crack or something” That’s just tooo classic!!!

  17. Howard Says:

    I do indeed have the House Mix. ;)

  18. Da Duck Says:

    They were all answered before I got to them, but mine are up and without sucess. Only 7 of the 20 got answered (then again, Simon and I have slightly different musical tastes than most of the people who read my journal).

  19. Howard Says:

    Yeah, I have some overzealous readers. :)

  20. Colleen Says:

    Theres an old disco house song from the late 80’s early 90’s that I used to have on cassette (of course) and i can’t find the lyrics or who sang it. some of the lyrics go, “I got a hold you, can you feel it. I got a hold on you believe it” (or something close to that) At one point in the song she says, “if youre leaving then why are you taking my blouse off? I know, I know.”

    Anyone remember this one?

  21. C. Howitt Fealz Says:

    20 is by Chantay Savage, if I recall correctly.
