delentyevox has a really cool movie quotes meme up in her journal, and I wanted to try it too, except my memory for quotes from any sort of medium is generally horrible. But I was playing iTunes on Party Shuffle, and I got reminded of that lyrics meme that kaydeefalls and datenshi_blue had a while ago, so I thought, why not? And proceeded to waste about an hour and half trying to figure out what the lyrics to half my songs were. I'm afraid I cheated and ended up flipping through the shuffle a little because a third of my music is anime music, and I unfortunately have no talent for transcribing lyrics in a language I don't know. >_<
Some of these are easy; others are extremely difficult. Only HPTF lab rats will be able to figure out 14. ::coughs::
1. On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing).
2. Write down one (or two) line(s) of the song. Try to avoid lines that include the title.
3. Have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.
4. When someone guesses correctly, strike out the line and list the correct name of the song next to it.
1."몸을 흔들어봐. 이 음악에 빠져. 내일 일은 내일에 걱정하면 돼." [rough translation: "Shake your body. Get lost in this music. You can worry about tomorrow when tomorrow comes."] - Koyote, 디스코 왕 [Disco King]
2."Please tell me, please tell me why my car is in the front yard? And I'm sleeping with my clothes on?" - Lit, My Own Worst Enemy
3. "Love and hate, what a beautiful combination, sending shivers up and down my spine."
4."Now I understand what you tried to say to me, how you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free." - Don McLean, Vincent
5."But don't you believe them, don't you drink their poison too. These are the scars that words have carved on me." - Vienna Teng, Gravity
6. "네 창가에 가리워진 나의 미련을 감싸안아. 넌 내 옛 기억엔 단 하나에 일 부분인걸..." [rough translation: "I embrace my stubborn attachment that has become hidden on your windowsill. You are part of my only old memories."]
7. "I've been with you such a long time, you're my sunshine. And I want you to know that my feelings are true."
8."Despite the great duress, always get off, 'cause damn it, it's the only surefire way to win." - Velvet Goldmine, Ballad of Maxwell Demon
9. "Let others rise to take our place, until the earth is free!"
10."On the corner is a banker with a motorcar, and the children laugh at him behind his back." - The Beatles, Penny Lane
11. "And you've been so busy lately that you haven't found the time to open up your mind."
12."This bloody road remains a mystery. This sudden darkness fills the air." - Pat Benatar, Invincible
13. "'Prepare and go,' the angel said, 'to Bethlehem. Be not afraid.'"
14."What kind of woman wouldn't want to come and see? It's easy, convenient, and free." - Carlos Hernandez, Dean Hu Gets Nude for You
15."Tsuyoku naru no da / Shouri ni TENNIS no tame ni wa" - Prince of Tennis Musical, The Regulars
16."I'm lifting you up, I'm letting you down." - Maroon5, Must Get Out
17. "With the power of speech, it's all within reach. You can swim to the Promised Land."
18."Nani mo shinji nani mo / Motomete hito wa ikiru" - Ishino Ryuuzou (Chang Wufei), Shinjitsu wo Tsukamitore
19."You live in a world of excess. More is more and less is much less." - Pet Shop Boys, Flamboyant
20. "I have time on my side, making diamonds of coal."
Someone should do a version of this meme with quotes from books instead. And yes, I shall get back to studying biology now. >_<
Yours &c.

Ok, maybe that's it. Wow, two long posts in a day! But I'm going to do this meme right now, just for you. You shall see that my computer is chock full of bad pop music. You, of course, don't need to respond to it.
1. "You've been bruised, you've been broken."
2. "But now the weight of the world feels like nothing."
3. "Doin' everything that I believed in, goin' by the rules that I've been taught."
4. "The more I learn, the more I love. The more my heart can't get enough."
5. "I'm walking down the line that divides me somewhere in my mind."
6. "Save goodbye, keep it frozen in December."
7. "If I see you next to never, how can we say forever."
8. "You're more than beautiful and I just want to let you know that all I ever need is what I got with you."
9. "I want to be what you always needed, then I hope you'll see the heart in me."
10. "Shorty where ya been, it's been a long time, long, long time since I seen ya."
11. "Oh I'm so afraid to make that first move, just a touch and we could cross the line."
12. "We'll burn together in the heat of love, under the stars above."
13. "There is something in the air; come with me, we can go anywhere."
14. "Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you."
15. "Though the sky's still blue and the rain still falls, it's really not the same at all."
16. "And I'm not only among but I invite who I want to come so I missed a million miles of fun."
17. "No one cries when your eyes get wet and weepy."
18. "Maybe part of me is fine with never knowing."
19. "Say you'll be all right come tomorrow, but tomorrow might not be here for you."
20. "I smile, you say I take your breath away."
SO many repeats ... I'm going to post this in my LJ just for fun now.

I'm pretty sure #15 is from PoT, but I have no inkling what song it might be from.

Date: 2005-01-14 01:12 pm (UTC)18, the title is right and it is a GW song, so I think you get full credit. But I thought it was a Wufei song? I'm reasonably certain about that because one of the lyrics translates to "That is justice." ^_^;;

It's so hard to write internet speak in English. Sigh.
