The rules:

1: all participants quote one characteristic line from the lyrics of a song (picking the title is a bad idea, because it's easier to google, but it still has to be characteristic)

2: after around 24 hours, if no one has guessed the song/artist, you have to give a hint

3: 24 more hours past that, you have to give an even better hint, one you figure would make it obvious what song it is to anyone who's heard it - without blurting out the name of the artist or the song itself, obviously.

4: If 24 hours pass after that, you tell everyone the name of the artist and song, and unless anyone has reason to say you've been giving too poor hints - you score a point.

5: if you guess a song's name without a hint, you get three points, with one hint, two points and with two hints you get one point.


6: not too obscure now, the music has to be available outside your own continent - so no tiny local punk bands :p

I'll start with:

"They were saying things that I'd like you to hear"

Whoa. <chuckle> With all those rules, ya' really think anyones gonna bite?

the rules are pretty loose, and I'm sure there are plenty of people here who want to show off :l

To each his/her own.

Here's the thing, Nathrakh. This is why one needs the first 24 hour lead time, at least.

I know I've got it in my head - it just doesn't want to come out yet.

This song will most likely be haunting me in my dreams tonight! :D

Agreed brakes. at 4 am, my neighbors are gonna hear me scream the name of this song at the top of my lungs when it wakes me from a deep sleep. then by the time i get to the computer it will be time to start all over, as i will have forgotten..:D

Well, here's a lyric from another song to think about, if you can deal :devil: :

"We will tell our children of the ancient lord"

Hey, IDK, aren't we due (overdue, actually!) for another hint!?

Hey, IDK, aren't we due (overdue, actually!) for another hint!?

I thought this might happen, IDK starts a game, and then forgets about it.

Here's the next hint for my lyric: It's a popular pagan song, to be more specific, the Witchcraft genre.

Er, well I meant to write "after 24 hours" :|

Okay, sorry, the internet's been down. Here are some hints, not that you'll guess it anyway. Maybe it's too obscure:

It's an icelandic band with a female vocalist.


Also: several songs to be guessed at once is a good thing. Can't seem to find the ancient lord thing, it's obviously not popular enough to have it's lyrics on the net :(

The only one that comes to my mind there would be The Sugarcubes. Not real familiar with their songs, though. Worthy of a check, however.

Said icelandic band makes electronic music, has a female vocalist - but the particular quote seems to be sampled from a movie or something, it's spoken by a woman. The particuar tune is also kind of different from their other stuff.

Also, Nathrakh, new clue! :l

Um.. Bjork??? :shrug:

that one was too hard.

Um.. Bjork??? :shrug:

Bjork was with The Sugarcubes before striking out on her own.

When IDK stated "band with female vocalist" that was what made me think of them.

Sigur Ros?

This is embarrassing. And really shows the disadvantages of downloading mp3s (completely legal, of course :l)

The song is "kronos" by a German band called "mum", not the icelandic group "múm". No points for me then :nono:

OK, I'll try one. It's hard enough that you probably won't be able to find it on the first page of any google search, but hopefully not too hard. Hint: Band is known for lyrics as much chosen for the sound of the shape of the words as the actual words' meaning. Once made an album with the name of a US city in the title.

"You are a woman just as you are a man"

Can't say I've heard of either one of those bands, IDK. I must be getting old or something. :rolleyes: ;)

Still mulling over the others.

"You are a woman just as you are a man"

Kellet, is that "Seekers Who Are" by the Cocteau Twins?

Kellet, is that "Seekers Who Are" by the Cocteau Twins?

too easy I guess. Damn you!

But the full title is Seekers Who Are Lovers.

He does get some kind of pointage, though, I would think.

I'd consult the Rule Book but I have to get ready to leave soon.

three points without hint, two with one, one with two hints. I found the song's name too, but that was because of google (first result!) so I didn't post it :p

Also, a new one:

I feel like hoppin up and down, like a kangaroo
jumpin fences, climbing trees, what pleases me is what I'll do

Out of curiosity what did you type in google to find it? I searched it first and didn't see anything.

I wasn't thinking of denying him points - the partial title was good enough for me.

Out of curiosity what did you type in google to find it? I searched it first and didn't see anything.- "You are a woman just as you are a man" I'm guessing you did it without the quotemarks?

damn I'm retarded. I don't deserve to play this game.

LoL, I wouldn't have googled with the quotemarks if you hadn't put them there.

Mkay, now a hint for my quote above:

It's from an American musical.

damn I'm retarded. I don't deserve to play this game.

You are not, they're not called obscure lyrics for nothing, ya know! ;)

I'll take a guess on the musical..."Victor/Victoria"?
