Hey SoupDragon, you mean you know all the answers already?? That's not fair....

SoupDragon · 05/03/2003 17:04

I don't actually know the answers. They're in a spreadsheet which tells me if an answer is right or wrong. With a little fiddling, I can get it to tell me the answers. I'd looked at it already and I only got 4 or so!!

OP posts:
Bobbins · 05/03/2003 17:04

Soupdragon> re 38..it must be Richard Ashcroft then...but the only song I can rmember is song for lovers???

Give me a clue to the Gaynor lyric alike

SoupDragon · 05/03/2003 17:08

Yes, 38 is right

TBH, I can't give you a clue to no. 31 as I've no idea what the song is! It's by a male (I think)group though.

OP posts:
elliott · 05/03/2003 17:09

oh dear, I'll just give up before I humiliate myself further....

lucy123 · 05/03/2003 18:18

Oh no I've missed it. I love pop quizzes.

Obviously I knew all the ones people have already got

But the Happy Mondays one is in my head now. Can't for the life of me remember what it's called.

whellid · 05/03/2003 18:20

Ah so it was Richard Ashcroft singing - glad I wasn't too far away, just forgot he'd gone solo!
Really struggling with the rest though.

SoupDragon · 05/03/2003 18:36

Tomorrow I'll put the missing answers here and the next 50 up on a different thread.

OP posts:
GillW · 05/03/2003 19:16

Is 11 "Porcelain"?

whellid · 05/03/2003 19:17

Just asked dh if he could fill in any of the gaps and the only one he can do (which is one more than me at the moment) is
8 Scooby Snacks by Fun Lovin' Criminals

Bobbins · 05/03/2003 19:22

lucy123...see down...Kinky Afro

tell me about it...this thread has had me going most of the day

GillW · 05/03/2003 19:23

Oops - should have hit refresh, just seen that futurity had already got 11.

From the clue 44 must be "Perseverence".

And is 10 "Just like Fred Astaire"? Can't remember who by though.

leese · 05/03/2003 19:26
  1. Scooby snacks - Fun Lovin' Criminals
10. Just Like Fred Astaire - James 15. Secret Smile - Semisonic 30. One to Another - Charlatans 31. Alright - Cast 34. Kinky Afro - Happy Mondays 44. A Song For The Lovers - Richard Ashcroft
whellid · 05/03/2003 19:35

Excellent leese! I don't think I'd ever have got some of those, especially the Cast one.
I think there's still a couple left - 23 and 29, but may be wrong as I probably missed some postings.

I have the next 50 lyrics if anyone wants them. Hope you don't mind SoupDragon but you have me hooked again! If anyone wants the full list (it's on Excel) I can e-mail it to you. The speadsheet is great as it tells you whether your answers are correct when you type them in.

51 Don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep
52 She leads a lonely life
53 I know that was then but it could be again
54 It's that little souvenir of a terrible year which makes me wonder why
55 Just buy a ticket and take a summer holi-holiday
56 My power, my pleasure, my pain
57 So when I'm lying in my bed, thoughts running through my head
58 I'm singing it loud and I don't care
59 I was born long ago. I am the chosen, I'm the one
60 Don't believe in love, don't believe in hate, don't believe in anything
61 Things ain't cooking, in my kitchen
62 Don't tell me it's not worth trying for
63 Don't cry for me next door neighbour
64 We'll spend our time with a bottle of wine and a love that knows no human state
65 Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
66 Honey came in and she caught me red-handed creepin' with the girl next door
67 Our love is a mystery, girl let's get inside it
68 I wish I could freeze this space in time, the way I feel for you inside
69 I guess it doesn't really matter about the rain 'cause we'll get through it anyway
70 Then the lover that you miss will come to you on these cold, cold nights
71 And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
72 Though that was a good solution, hanging with the raisin girls
73 From the rooftop shout it out
74 And boy, I really miss you and all I want to do is kiss you
75 You should know, I could tell you're on some foolish mission
76 The girls need a break. Tonight we're gonna take the chance to get out on the town
77 Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away
78 They had style, they had grace. Rita Hayworth gave good face
79 Move in, now move out. Hands up, now hands down
80 Take me back to my sweet lavida. Find my love, my dolce vita
81 In No Man's Land
82 But then the sound of my desperate calls echo off these dungeon walls
83 I don't want to lose your love
84 I had an uncle who once played for Red Star Belgrade
85 So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
86 They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper, Bob Seger, Sonny & Cher
87 I know just what you're saying so please stop explaining
88 You are my one and only. You gave that joy to me when my whole life was lonely
89 Walk me down the lane where shadows will be, will be
90 We'll be like Thelma and Louise
91 One kiss, heaven isn't far
92 There's a fire between us, so where is your God?
93 Open your mind, surely there's time to be with me
94 But I just bit on my lip and my face began to frown
95 Whatever happened to the life we once knew? Can we really live without each other?
96 I woke up and called this morning. The tone of your voice was a warning
97 With the lights out, it's less dangerous. Here we are now, entertain us
98 Mad pleasure, blowing up your whole world. Whatever's clever, I got endless cash
99 Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
100 Run and tell all of the angels, this could take all night

lucy123 · 05/03/2003 20:35

yikes!

It's funny how lyrics are so similar (and often banal) isn't it?

But anyway -
54 Here's where the story ends by The Sundays
59 has to be I am the Resurrection (or whatever it's called) by The Stone Roses
62 is Weather with you by Crowded House
84 sexuality by Billy Bragg
74 is some rap girl group - Salt'n'Peppa?
97 is Smells like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

And lots of other are very familiar.
