First Line game

Ok this could be a disaster on these boards, but it was fun at work, so I' ll bring it here.

Simple. Give the first line of a POPULAR song and the next person guesses it.

Because this is a multi-cultured crowd, I' ll make it a little easier.

Genre- year - quote.

For example

Rock
1968
" Please allow me to introduce myself, I' m a man of wealth and taste"

would be Rolling Stones " Sympathy for the Devil"


ok, let' s do this

Rap
1993
" Just wakin' up in the morning gotta thank God.
I dunno but today seems kinda odd."

" Just wakin' up in the morning gotta thank God.
I dunno but today seems kinda odd."

Ice Cube, Good Day to Die if I remember correctly. (Hated Ice Cube but my cousin' s in love)

" Some say you' re a troubled boy
Just because you like to destroy
All the things that bring the idiots joy
Well, what' s wrong with a little destruction?"

Edit: I' m suprised Majik didn' t get to that one.

Franz Ferdinand - The fallen.

Folk / hippy type music

1968 (but it is a classic)

" I am just a poor boy and my stories seldom told.
I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles such are promises."

This isnt really contributing to anything, but what if no one gets it? Does the thread just die or do we move on to a new song?

Ice Cube " It was a good day" .

Do I bring up another one or do you do it?

lol fail

I know its by Simon and Garfunkel, but can' t think of the song title.

ah, finally got this one after Bridge over troubled waters was going round in my head for ages, its the Boxer.

How about

1985

Pop/Dance, sort of

" In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war, but it wasn' t"

Whoa, people are actually playing? I had given up on this thread

In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war, but it wasn' t

Paul Hardcastle - " 19"

Classic.


this damn song' s been in my head lately:

1995
Alternative
" The World is a vampire, sent to drain.
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain?"


the hardest part of this game is deciding when to stop the quote...

And I don' t want you and I don' t need you

Are you believing the morning papers?
War is coming back in style
There' s generals here, advisors there
And Russians nibbling everywhere
The chessboard' s filling up with red
We make more profits when we blow off their heads

" When Ya Get Drafted" by the Dead Kennedys. Jello Biafra is coming through my town soon for a spoken word performance!
