Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2

Ok Twiztid, here you go. I'll even give you a hint. They are a new English speed/melodic metal group that just released their first Album. Kind of Iron Maidenish.

Coming down from the mountain on high
Towards the battle we go side by side
Our hearts are filled with honour and pride
Cause we know our time has come

Silent voices down from below
Rising up through the ice and the snow
Ancient angers cast upon all
Through the lands of the slain

Through the dark night and through the rain
Fighting machine we have risen again
Stronger than all the world we arise...

Stand and fight, join the light
Into the battle with power and might
Sound the guns, raise the cannons of war...

Here is a challenge for you:

Ga je mee naar het stadion,
naar de club
van rood en wit
Zoek een plaatsje in de zon
waar je zo
gezellig zit


Good luck. I am anxious to know if anyone of you can trace it. Without Google!

Bad Goal! No biscut!

The point isn't to find the most obscure lyrics out there. Anyone can do that. Try to find songs that most folks here have probably heard on the radio, probably multiple times, and preferably semi-recently. A b-side from a band that had one hit that played only on a few radio stations 10 years ago (the hit, not the b-side) doesn't count. Some local band that you heard while traveling in Italy doesn't count.

If you have to be an avid fan of the band in question in order to have a chance to recognize the lyrics, then you're picking the wrong song. The whole point is for people to try to recognize lyrics without hearing the music that goes with them. Another way to think of it is that the song ideally should be one that if you played the song, most people would recognize it. The ultimate is a set where reading the lyrics folks can't recall the song, but upon being told the band and song, they can (like the Chain Gang song).

If you tell folks the name of the band and the song, and they still can't sing it to themselves (because they still have no idea how the song goes), then the song is too obscure.

Debalic. Tare got the Squeeze song on the very next post after I posted it. Hehe... You weren't the first! ;)


I don't recognize those lyrics though. Yeah. And I cheated and looked them up. Still can't hear the song in my head, and I've spent years listening to classic rock stations (about the only thing everyone can agree on in most work environments). There's something vaguely familiar about the chorus though...

How about this one:

I took her out
It was a friday night
I wore cologne
To get the feeling right
We started making out
And she took off my pants
But then I turned on the tv


Probably too easy, but what the heck?

The Wheels On The Bus.

=p

Hehe. You know what? Those do look kinda like Billy Joel lyrics. That's kinda funny...

Much newer band (they're about 10 years old). Interestingly enough, a friend of mine started teaching at their high school just a couple years after they graduated. One of the band members younger sisters still attended and they performed at one of the school dances several years ago IIRC.

Um... Here's another one. The number in their name is the number of times the lead character in Scarface says the F word... Hows that for trivia?

Obscure? Dutch? Like what the hell?

Sorry Gbaji, I must confess I had not entirely read the rules)

Mea culpa.

Nobody dug it up, though.
