name the artist and song

[nokhor]

dude 1 "sure God's all powerful, but does he have lips?"
dude 2 "whoooooooa"


this should be extremely difficult to get unless you happen to be a fan of the artist and or happen to like this song. but the artist has been played on commercial radio so it shouldn't have be a complete stab in the dark.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Why, it's Alice in Chains with God Am.

I don't really like them, but a friend of mine's a big fan, and listens to a lot of their stuff while I'm around him.

[JAG]

So I watch and I wait
And I pray for an awnser
An end to the strife and the world's misery
But the end never came
And we're digging the graves
And we're loading the guns for the kill

Gogogogog! Artist and song and no cheating.

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Can anyone post lyrics for ppl to guess?

[Byzantine Prince]

I don't know Jag's but if anyone can guess mine(?), that's kwel.

THERES A NEW GAME WE LIKE TO PLAY YOU SEE
A GAME WITH ADDED REALITY
YOU BEAT ME LIKE A DOG GET, ME DOWN ON MY KNEES
WE CALL IT MASTER AND SERVANT
WE CALL IT MASTER AND SERVANT

IT'S A LOT LIKE LIFE
JUST BLAME IN THE SHEETS
WITH YOU ON TOP AN ME UNDERNEATH
WE CARE ALL ABOUT EQUALITY
LET'S PLAY MASTER AND SERVANT
LET'S PLAY MASTER AND SERVANT

[nokhor]

well tarnation BKS. after all these years i finally figure out what the dudes are mumbling at the beginning of that song and i reckon this well this'll keep the good folks at the org flummoxed for at least a week, and you get it on the first reply.

and why yes EMFM, anyone can post lyrics for anyone to guess.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Punky's lips, punky's lips
His hair's so shiny,
I love his hips!
I love his teeth and his gums and such!
Punky
(what is it? you come home!)
You're an angel!
You're too much
(oh god!)

The boys of my thoughts in my lonely teenage room!

He's been havin' a rash
(no shit!)
That keeps the girls away
(it's true)
Skin doom
(skin doom)
Is what the doctors say
And that makes me wonder
I wonder what punky is rehearsing today
I'll just go over, and hear him play
His hair is so pretty...i'd like to bite his neck
I've heard a rumor he's more fluid than jeff beck
But i ain't queer
I ain't gay
(he's a little fond of chiffon in a wrist array-ee-ay-ee-ay)
A wrist array-ee-ay
(that's all that is, i swear!)

[Big_John]

gawain's is "punky's whips" by zappa, that's easy peezy ~:)

the others, no clue :sad:, though JAGs is probably an iron maiden song judging from his posts in the "what are you listening to now" and "stone v beatles v floyd" threads ~D

me me me me me!!! it's a hard one, good luck!!

i said you wanna be startin' somethin'
you got to be startin' somethin'
i said you wanna be startin' somethin'
you got to be startin' somethin'

[Gawain of Orkeny]

gawain's is "punky's whips" by zappa, that's easy peezy

Only for a Zappa fan ~D

The (he's a little fond of chiffon in a wrist array-ee-ay-ee-ay)
A wrist array-ee-ay at the end gives it away as well as the constant mention of Ounky. I also poted half the song ~D I cant help myself I just love Zappas lyrics not to mention the music. Maybe the most underated guitarist ever.

[Big_John]

yeah, zappa doesn't get enough credit for his guitar work, not only is he under-rated, but he was the most talented guitarist in rock history!! imo anyway. i know it's kinda clichéd by now, but anyone who doubts me should be forced to listen to various performances of "inca roads" for a week. i mean how many guitar solos have inspired whole album releases? (a serious question, i doubt the "shut up n' play yer guitar" albums are unique in that respect)

as for punky's whips, all of the parentheticals immediately identify it away as a zappa song, for anyone in the know.

new lyrics!! (although my last post is still unanswered!) and this one is actually hard, unlike the last one. hint, it's the whole song!

can you feel the wind
of venus on your skin?
can you taste the crush
of a sunset's dying blush?

stars will always hang
in summer's bleeding fangs.

can you feel the rings
of saturn on your finger?
can you taste the ghosts
who shed their creaking hosts?

but seas forever boil;
trees will turn to soil.

stars will always hang
in summer's bleeding fangs.
seas forever boil.
trees will turn to soil.

[dessa14]

Met up with the ghost from the past
Who said...
I can't slow down, my minds moving too fast
And I don't like the things I'm thinking
I said brother, try to relax
It takes time for things to pass
He said fine and then he threw me out the door

guess that, you non-aussie or kiwi friends.
thanks,
dizzy

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Where I come from it's grits and gravy
not champaign caviar
Got pickup trucks aint no mercades, thats who we are
Ohhh..... I wouldn't change a thing....
Now I aint no said somtimes a sinner and I cant tell ya why
but I wake up every morning and thank the man above.
Ohh.... My life is good....
lemme tell ya how good
I like my women hot and my beer ice cold
a real fast car and my whiskey old
I like a slow drive down an old dirt road
thats how i like it
I like to turn my music way up loud
aint nothin better than the sound of a crowd
american flag it makes me proud
thats how I like it

[Big_John]

haha, that last one is skynard.. but i can't remember the name of the song (i always think it's "grits n' gravy" lol, but i know it's not..). crap, i even heard that song not too long ago i'm sure, wtf is it called? i always find skynard funny for some reason.

we need more people identifying lyrics!!

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Thats how i like it by Lynyrd Skynyrd in Viscous Cycle released in 2003.
Anyway, here is an easy one.

Im a rollin thunder, pourin rain
im comin on like a hurricane
you see my lighnin flashin from across the sky
your only young but your gonna die

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Back in Black, AC\DC

Right, I'll do one-fairly easy.

Queen of light took her bow
And then she turned to go,
The prince of peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morn - ing light.
The dark lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all.
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe,
Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side we wait the might
Of the darkest of them all.

[Big_John]

no one is man enough to tackle my lyrics? hmph, figures. :snobby:

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Argh! Indeed, you are right.

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Try this:
So cold that you cannot cope
With a frozen heart
I guess we blow apart
I guessed it from the start

Stay in shadow
I’ll run this world out
Stay in shadow
It’s running out of time
Stay in shadow
I want to watch it drown
Stay in this now

Don’t say because you can’t
Say what we should have been
Don’t show what I resent
Don’t know cause I forget

So cruel to be so blind
Darkness was on my side
Now that you’ve come and gone
I know where I belong

[hundurinn]

Black then white are all
I see in my infancy
Red and yellow then came to be
Reaching out to me
Lets me see
As below, so above and beyond
I imagine
Drawn beyond the lines of reason
Push the envelope
Watch it bend
Over thinking, over analysing
Separates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition
Missing opportunities
And I must feed my will
To feel my moment
Drawing way outside the lines

Guess this and you will earn my gratitude. ~D

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

HAHAHA you didn't....OK FINE!!!!!! YOU GOT IT!!!!!

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Regrets,
I've had afew
but then again
too few to mention
I did
what I had to do
and i saw it through
without exemption
I planned
each charetered course
each careful step
along the by-way
and more
much more then this
I did it my way

[JAG]

Er Capo could that possibly be ... My way?! :p Even I could get that, bit easy ~;)

No one could get mine, oh dear. It was Face in the Sand by Iron Maiden. I shall now post a very easy one and if no one gets it I will cry.


You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back.

The bugle sounds and the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As I plunge on into certain death.

The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day.

We get so close near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below.

And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan

Very, VERY, easy, cmon lads!

[JAG]

Oh and your artist is of course Sanatra.

[King Edward]

He he heres one,

Touch my bum,
this is life,
(oooooohhhhhhh)
We are the cheekey girls,
We are the cheekey girls,
You are the cheekey boys
~D

Has to be one of if not the the greatest crimes agains music in all time!

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Try this, if nobody gets this I'll laugh so hard.....
Start segment:
Cop this
I am hot, and when I'm not
I'm cold as ice
get out of my way
just step aside
or pay the price

What I want I take
What I don't I break
And I don't want you
With a flick of my knife
I can change your life
And there's nothing you can do
:End segment

[The Wizard]

Ok... this one somewhat hard but some people will certainly guess it:

I made the change from a common thief
To up close and personal with Robin Leach
And I'm far from cheap, I smoke skunk with my peeps all day
Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
The Moet and Alize keep me pissy
Girls used to diss me
Now they write letters 'cause they miss me
I never thought it could happen, this rappin' stuff
I was too used to packin' gats and stuff
Now honies play me close like butter played toast
From the Mississippi down to the east coast
Condos in Queens, indo for weeks
Sold out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak
Livin' life without fear
Puttin' 5 karats in my baby girl's ears
Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool
Considered a fool 'cause I dropped out of high school
Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood
And it's still all good

Uh...and if you don't know, now you know, nigga



~Wiz

[nokhor]

king edward's is 'the cheeky girls?' or something similar by...drumroll please the cheeky girls. it never made it here to the states i think, but a friend of mine showed me the video online which was just as vacous as the song.

I'm on a mission,
First thing disarming your system,
Next thing slip the key in the ignition,
Just listen,
To the way that you purr at me you know you prefer the speed
When your back starts dipping,
Wheel spinning when the gears start shifting,
I'm sticking til the turbo kicks in
You know that I'm missing,
Got me moving so fast you got me missing the flash from 5.0,

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Seems familiar, but can't quite grasp the name.....

[Big_John]

no one got mine, even though the second one was stupid easy.. here's another easy one.

cruisin' mos espa in my delorian
war's over i'm a peacetime madalorian
my story has stumped star wars historians
deep in deabte buffet plate at bennigans
rhyme renegade sure to penetrate
first and second defense i won't hesitate
got a job to do darth's the guy that delegates
got something against skywalker someone he really hates
i don't give a fuck i'm after solo
for all i care he could be hiding at yoda's dojo
got make the money credit's no good
when the jawas run the shop in your neighborhood
think you can cook? i got a grappling hook
let's make this quick cuz I'm really booked
i'm a devious degenerate, defender of the devil
shut down all the trash compactor's on the detention level

(chorus)
my backpack's got jets
i'm boba the fett
i bounty hunt for jaba hut
to finance my vette
i chill in deep space
a mask is over my face
i deliver the prize but i still narrow my eyes
cuz my time i don't like to waste.
get down

[Gawain of Orkeny]

mother is the necessity of invention!

But listening to the mothers of invention is a necessity ~:)

[The Wizard]

Guess which one this is...

Now, my oral demonstration be like clitoral stimulation
to the female gender, ain't nothin better
Let me know when it's wet enough to enter
If not I'll wait, because the future of the world depends on
Therefore, if not the child we raise gon' have that nigga syndrome
Or will it know to be the hard regardless of the skintone
I really feel that if we tune it, it just might get picked on
Or will it give a fuck about what others say and get gone
The alienators cause we different keep your hands to the sky
Like Sounds of Blackness when I practice what a preach ain't no lie
I'll be the baker and the maker of the piece of my pie
Now breaker, breaker 10-4 can I get some reply?
Now everybody say...

Chorus
Now throw your hands in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
And if you like fish and grits and all that pimp shit
Then everybody say O-Yea-yer



~Wiz

[Big_John]

outkast - ATliens

edit- chorus should be written:

now throw yo hands in tha ay-yer
and wave 'em like ya just don't cay-yer
an' if ya like fish n' grits an' all dat pimp shit
everybody lemme here ya say 'oh yay-yer!'

[John86]

Meanwhile back in the year One --- when you belonged to no-one ---
you didn't stand a chance son, if your pants were undone.
`Cause you were bred for humanity and sold to society ---
one day you'll wake up in the Present Day ---
a million generations removed from expectations
of being who you really want to be.

Here we are
dear old friend
you and I drunk again
laughs have been had and tears have been shed
maybe the whiskeys gone to my head
BUT IF I WERE GAY
I WOULD GIVE YOU MY HEART
And if I were gay you'd be my work of art
and If I were gay we would swim in romance
but im not gay so get your hand out of my pants

Its not that i dont care i do
i just dont see myself in you
another time another scene
id be right behind you, if ya know what i mean
but if I were gay I would give you my soul
and If i were gay i would give you my hole... being
and if i were gay we would tear down the walls
but im notgay
so wont you stop cupping my... hand

[Quietus]

Freedom came my way one day.
And I started out of town, yeah.
All of a sudden, I saw sheriff John Brown,
Aiming to shoot me down.

So I shot, I shot, I shot him down.

And I say: If I am guilty I will pay!!

~:cool:

[The Wizard]

Big_John, is that Mos Def, perchance?



~Wiz

[Big_John]

that is mos wrong!

it's actually a hard one, it's "fett's vette" by mc chris. unless you're an adult swim fan, you've probably never heard of him.

[Quietus]

Ok. The answer to mine was "Shot the Sheriff" by the Wailers. ~:)

[Craterus]

:bump:

Sorry, thought this was a cool idea for a thread but I don't know if it'll work better with just one line or full segments. Anyway, I'll start it off again with this:

I don’t want to sound complaining
But you know there’s always rain in my heart.

(And Caius, please don't post something predictable ~;))

[Moros]

part of a very known song, but I made the lyrics a bit more funky (as the title is in it and would be to easy). In other words I rewrote the lyrics to say the same thing but with different words:

...
Mister, you were a bad kid, you allowed you head to get tall
I'm Eric Burdon, I'm Eric Burdon, I'm not the carpenter, googoo goosht.
...

I bet it still is easy for a lot of fellars of these forums.

[Hosakawa Tito]

Someone's been rummaging in the attic I see.~:cheers:

[Moros]

Someone's been rummaging in the attic I see.~:cheers:

Oh no! The Cd's and Lp's I've got of these artist would never end up in the attic!

[Caius]

And Caius, please don't post something predictable
Yes Cai... err, what?

[Big_John]

Yes Cai... err, what?
that was so predictable.





here is a lyric to identify:


Chupa chupa chupa Chupacabras Chupacabras Chupacabras

Have you heard about the bat?
Eats your goat and then your cat
Soon enough you will not smile
When it comes you'll run a mile!

It says:

Soy super bien soy super super bien
Soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super!
Soy super bien soy super super bien
Soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super!

From Mexico it came to me
I saw it down in Miami
It vamps in and out of style
When it comes you'll go loco!

It says:

Soy super bien soy super super bien
Soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super!
Soy super bien soy super super bien
Soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super!

Chupa chupa chupa Chupacabras Chupacabras Chupacabras

[Caius]

Why does people doesn't speak Spanish correctly?

[Reverend Joe]

Guess I'll throw in my lot... (no idea about the Chupacabra one, by the way... is it called "Chupacabra", by any chance?)


Money
She always gets a chance
Music
She sure knows how to dance

She's a high-flying woman so reach for the sky
She's gonna knock you down then pass on by

She's a high-stepping prancer
A tried true romancer
She's a little gandy dancer
And she's too much for me (Ow!)
Little gandy dancer

Broken
She left me with a broken heart
Spinnin'
I don't know how to start

She's a low-flying woman she dragged me around
She'll get you high on love then knock you down

She's a high-stepping prancer
A tried true romancer
She's a little gandy dancer
And she's too much for me (Ow! Ow!)
Little gandy dancer

Not the complete lyrics, but if you know the song it's more than enough.

Not to give away more than I should, but I love this song; it reminds me of "Bayou Country" era Creedence.

[Caius]

Money by Pink Floyd by any chance?

[Reverend Joe]

Money by Pink Floyd by any chance?

What, mine? Not to be rude, but you couldn't be further off :laugh4:. You were right on timewise, though.

[Moros]

I'm quite sure it's BTO.

[Reverend Joe]

Nailed it. "Little Gandy Dancer." My favorite BTO song.

Edit: moving along, this one will probably be easier.


Were gonna play you a song, a little bit of rock-n-roll
You gotta let yourself go, the bands gonna take control.

Well pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight

Smokin, smokin

Smokin' - Boston

My turn, I'll go easy:

We've done four already,
But now were steady,
And then they went:
One, two, three, four!

[Moros]

Led Zeppelin - The Ocean

[Reverend Joe]

Another from the 70's:


I'm talkin' 'bout my baby, not your baby, say my babe, she's so fine,
I'm talkin' 'bout my baby, not your baby, say my babe, she's so fine,
I love to love my baby, love to love her all the time.

Well I love her, don't you love her, say I love her, do you hear?
I love her, don't you love her, say I love her, do you hear?
Upsets my soul, she whispers sweet words in my ear.

I love the way she walks, I love the way she talks,
She makes me feel so good, just like a young man should,
She never make me cry, that's why, she's my babe, she's my babe.

Nothin' could be better than to see her in a sweater
and a real tight skirt, that don't fit,
Nothin' could be better than to see her in a sweater
and a tight skirt, that don't fit,
She wants to have fun, people let me tell you that's it!

(Not the complete lyrics.)

[Moros]

Gah! I know that song but I can't place it.

Anyway here's one from my side again:


Give me back my broken night
my mirrored room, my secret life
it's lonely here,
there's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby,
that's an order!
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
and stuff it up the hole
in your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
I've seen the future, brother:
it is murder.

Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant

You don't know me from the wind
you never will, you never did
I'm the little jew
who wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories, heard them all
but love's the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
to say it clear, to say it cold:
It's over, it ain't going
any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future:
it is murder
...
Not the full lyrics but more than enough if you know the song.

[Hooahguy]

hm, heres mine.....

"In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life
Give into the night"
