Bah. You should have some ground rules for this game. The whole point is whether folks will recognize lyrics and be able to remember the song/band. Tossing out b-side songs from bands with limited or no airplay is kinda pointless don'tcha think? I could sit here all day posting lyrics from non-labeled local bands that no one but a few hundred people in the world have ever heard, but that wouldn't be a very fun game IMO...

It should be only songs that get airplay (or are classic enough that most folks should be able to recognize it). Even if someone doesn't recognize the lyrics, they should at least recognize the band and song when they read the answer and maybe even go "Ah! Now I remember!"...


So. How about this one (should be easy):

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste
A flannel for my face
Pyjamas, a hairbrush
New shoes and a case
I said to my reflection
Let's get out of this place
Past the church and the steeple
The laundry on the hill
The billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still
Keep calling and calling
But forget it all
I know I will

/em applaud
Yes, thankyou Tare! Because of you I didn't have to post my wrong answer! My cauldron of useless information grows by the day, BWAHAHA!

Is that the song with Kid Rock and whatshername? I have no idea what it's called though.

Hmmm... Maybe "picture", and it's Sheryl Crow?

Ok, ok...hint for y'all. This band features a saucy, black- haired female singer.

C'mom weiners!

So sad, that you had to cheat to get the Pretenders, Back on the Chain Gang. But then again, there have been lots of easy songs on this thread already that I've been clueless about.

If you post a relatively easy one, I might just be sober enough to get it!

I refuse to cheat; I really have no idea. Damn you, gbaji. Damn you all to hell.

Wow dude.... not a clue in the world.

I wonder if anyone would get this:
From the wasteland
Cold steel under my wasteband
Hazardous times
Enemy lines drawn in the middle the streets
The concrete's stained with blood
I still got to eat

When I hit the street I made the man understand
I fought with flesh and I bled like a man
I rode that edge of darkness my friend
Stood up to the enemy so life could begin

gbaji, I didn't see an answer, so I give to you, Tempted by Squeeze. That gets a lot of airplay on my classic rock stations.

Curse those double posts...

I have no clue what Twizted has. Not even gonna cheat to find out. This one however is VERY simple, and should be guessed fairly quickly.


And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die[i]

Mine was a song by Ill Nino. Great heavy metal band. I thought that if Antima knew Fear Factory, he might listen to other metal bands, get off my back y'all. And PLEASE don't call me Twizzler. /ugh. Hate that name...
