Friday Shuffle: Name That Tune!
Posted on December 15, 2006 @ 10:06 am
Who’s in the mood for a little Friday Shuffle fun? I’ve posted a new batch of lyrics from the first fifteen songs to play when I put my iPod on shuffle this morning. Let’s see how many artists and song titles you can identify in the comments. I’ll gray out each lyrics once it’s been correctly guessed.
- “I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds. Didn’t get to sleep last night ’till the morning came around.” (Tom Clancy & John)
- “Drove downtown in the rain, nine thirty on a Tuesday night, just to check out the late-night record shop.” (Jeff)
- “I’m so happy ’cause today I’ve found my friends. They’re in my head. I’m so ugly, but that’s okay, ’cause so are you.” (mikelietz)
- “You could see me, you can’t squeeze me. I ain’t easy, I ain’t sleazy. I got reasons why I tease ‘em, boys just come and go like seasons.” (Fran)
- “She gave me some dictation, but my strength is in administration. I took down all she said. I even took down her little red dress.” (mikelietz)
- “I can’t help my boogies, they get out of control. I know that you don’t care, but I want you to know.” (Tiki)
- “I need your arms around me, I need to feel your touch. I need your understanding, I need your love…so much.” (mikelietz)
- “I’m worth a million in prizes. Yeah, I’m through with sleeping on the sidewalk, no more beating my brains. No more beating my brains. With liquor and drugs. With liquor and drugs.” (mikelietz)
- “Beauty can be sad. You’re proof of that. When the damage is done, you’re damaged goods.” (Veronica)
- “Johnny’s in the basement, mixing up the medicine. I’m on the pavement, thinking about the government.” (mikelietz)
- “Just last night, I woke from some unconscionable dream and had it nailed to my forehead again. To keep this boat afloat, there are things you can’t afford to know. So I save all my breath for the sails.” (Heather)
- “Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July and I just hit town and my throat was dry. I thought I’d stop and have myself a brew.” (Tom Clancy & John)
- “I’m like Sam the butcher, bringin’ Alice the meat. I’m like Fred Flintstone, drivin’ around with both feet.” (Tom Clancy & John)
- “I never loved nobody fully. Always one foot on the ground. And by protecting my heart truly, I got lost in the sounds.” (Heather)
- “I opened my eyes while you were kissing me once, more than once. And you looked as sincere as a dog.” (Thud)
As always, using Google to cheat is the path to the Dark Side.

We might be pop culture twins, but we sure as hell ain’t music twins. I’m stumped!!!
#2 is Barenaked Ladies: Brian Wilson
Didn’t consult Google, but cheked my ipod a couple times
3. Nirvana - Lithium
5. Belle & Sebastian - Step into my office, baby
7. Cake - Never there
8. Iggy Pop - Lust for life
10. Bob Dylan - Subterranean homesick blues
Crap, can I get partial credit?
1. Grateful Dead - Dire Wolf?
12. Johnny Cash - ?
13. Beastie Boys (something off Paul’s Boutique)
Man, all the easy ones have been guessed already. No idea.
15: Parting Gift, Fiona Apple.
Jeff, mikelietz, and Thud were all right with their guesses. Nice work!
Tom got all the artists correct…can anyone help him with the song titles?
I believe the song titles are:
1. Friend of the Devil (Lyle Lovett does a pretty good cover of this too. look for it.)
12. A Boy Named Sue
13. Shake Your Rump - Oowah oowah is my disco call as well.
6. Weezer - Hashpipe ?
I can’t understand Rivers well enough to be sure.
9. Juliana Hatfield - Universal Heart Beat.
I didn’t know any of these!
except I recognized 10 because Nickel Creek sticks it in the middle of their live version of The Fox on the new cd. but nothing else. wow. i call myself a music geek.
I’m embarrassed to admit I know this, but I think #4 is Fergalicious by Fergie.
I succumbed to the Dark Side and looked up #14. Even though I have it, I wouldn’t recognize it because I only know the hooks, not the lyrics. But I won’t spoil it for anyone else.
11. The Shins - Fighting in a Sack
14. Regina Spektor - Fidelity
And Heather wraps us up for the week. Thanks to everyone for playing!
Yes! #6 is Weezer, now defunct, with Hashpipe!
Cheers,
Juno
