Friday Shuffle: Name That Tune!
Posted on August 24, 2007 @ 8:03 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.
- Those boon times went bust. My feet of clay, they dried to dust. The red isn’t the red we painted, it’s just rust. — Fiona Apple, “Tymps (The Sick in the Head Song)” (Thud)
- We are fueled by Satan, yes we’re schooled by Satan. Schooled by Satan! Writin’ those tasty riffs just as fast as we can. Fueled by Satan! — Tenacious D, “Explosivo” (Thud)
- It’s a little too late for too little, but it’s never too late for a lot. It’s a little too late for too little, but it’s never too late to take ‘em for what they got. — The Ditty Bops, “Angel with an Attitude” (Bella)
- If I could do just one near perfect thing, I’d be happy. They’d write it on my grave or when they scattered my ashes. — Belle & Sebastian, “If She Wants Me” (mikelietz)
- Look me in the eye and tell me you don’t find me attractive. Look me in the heart and tell me you won’t go. Look me in in the eye and promise no love’s like our love. Look me in the heart and un-break broken, it won’t happen. — Tegan and Sara, “Where Does the Good Go?” (jmanna)
- I need your arms around me, I need to feel your touch. I need your understanding, I need your love so much. — Cake, “Never There” (Joefish)
- ‘Cause I’ve been acting like sour milk all on the floor. It’s your fault, you didn’t shut the refrigerator. Maybe that’s the reason I’ve been acting so cold. — Gwen Stefani, “Sweet Escape” (Megan)
- I have no more than I did before, but now I’ve got all that I need. For I love you, and I know you love me. — The Monkees, “Papa Gene’s Blues” (webgrrlie)
- Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night. The first one’s named sweet Anne-Marie, and she’s my heart’s delight. The second one is prison, babe; the sheriff’s on my trail. And if he catches up with me, I’ll spend my life in jail. — The Grateful Dead, “Friend of the Devil” (Thud)
- You fall in love, zing boom! The sky above, zing boom! Is caving in, wow bam! — Bjork, “It’s Oh So Quiet” (jmanna)
- I ain’t happy, I’m feeling glad. I got sunshine in a bag. I’m useless, but not for long. The future is coming on. — Gorillaz, “Clint Eastwood” (Jeff)
- What a season to be beautiful without a reason. — The White Stripes, “Now Mary” (Timmy B.)
- On board were the Twelve: the poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist, the magician, and the other so-called gods of our legends. Though gods they were. — Donovan, “Atlantis” (mikelietz)
- Birchmount Stadium, home of the Robbie. — Barenaked Ladies, “One Week” (scottieseattle)
- Oh, God of Progress, have you degraded or forgot us? Where have your laws gone? I think about it now. — Sufjan Stevens, “Come On! Feel the Illinoise!” (webgrrlie)
Good luck!

I knew 14 and 6(but I don’t know the name either).
Woo! I know one!
#6 is Cake “Never There.”
Seven down, eight to go!
@jmanna: You have the right artist on #5, but the wrong song title.
Okay 5 is Where Does the Good Go by Tegan and Sara. It just played on my shuffle.
Nicely done!

4. “If she wants me” by Belle and Sebastian
13. “Atlantis” by Donovan (awesome!)
#8: Monkees: “Papa Gene’s Blues”
#13: Donovan: “Atlantis” (although I think Donny Osmond sang a version, too)
#15: Sufjan Stevens: “Come on! Feel The Illinois!”
Damn you, webgrrlie…
Only two songs left!
Haha that song of tegan and sara’s is inexorably linked to Grey’s Anatomy in my mind..do you secretly listen to the Grey’s Anatomy soundtrack? It’s ok to admit it.
If I’d have been here earlier I would have gotten Cake, maybe Gorillaz, and T&S.
#12 is White Stripes “Now Mary”
and number 3 is a hedonistic ballad. I don’t know.
3 = The Ditty Bops “Angel with an Attitude”
I love that song :]
Number 12 is Now Mary by the White stripes
