Just got an idea... post some lines from a song, and we guess what song and artist it is.

You are not allowed to use search engines to look for the lines. Doing so will result in alien abduction with painful probing activities in certain body cavities, as well as mandatory front row seat participation (earplugs not allowed) at the next Britney Spears show.

Here we go!

"The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read"

Now, what song is that?

Don't cheat!

The person who gets it right continues with new song lines. Don't make it too obscure or I suspect the alien probing tools will come out. :D

Sounds HIP HOP to me. I do not listen to that kind of music. But then again, it could be some of that Heavy Metal, head banging stuff.
 
Hi Robert,

I seem to remember that one line from a Spinal Tap song. "Big Bottom", is that right? That was one hilarious movie.

OK. Here's one:

"And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?"

Talking Heads "Once in a Lifetime"

How about this one:
"Is this all thats left of my life before me:
Straight jacket memories, sedative highs?
No happy ending like they've always promised
There's got to be something left for me."

Queensryche (spelling???)

here's one...

"I've had years of cramped up city life,"
"trapped like a duck in a pen"
"All I know is it's a pity life"
"can't be simple again"

Cheers,

Bob

Oooo, I know this and it's driving me crazy that I can't get the title.:(

Hint: It's bluegrass and old. If I put up anymore lyrics, it would give away the title.

Cheers,

how 'bout:

What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
Its got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?

See how it sings like a sad heart
And joyously screams out its pain
Sounds that build high like a mountain
Or notes that fall gently like rain

Oops almost tanked this one....it's "Rocky Top"

How many years did I play "Rocky Top" six nights a week? I am ashamed I couldn't remember it. Is this what happens in old age or is something else affecting my memory?;)

Good job t_ross.

Too easy. I'm not even going to say, but it's a song from a northern band. Who can get this one? You'll only get one distant early warning.;)

keep dropping signals and presto you'll give it away :D at least you got the hemispheres right
 
This one might be a bit tougher:

They all call her her "puta" 'cause no one really knows her name.
She works the cantina, dancin' and a-lovin's her trade.
Her mama was Mez'can and her daddy was the ace of spades.

This will stump all, and no putting up any other lyrics until somebody gets it. The strongest hint is in the lyrics:cool:

Who invented the slow burning fire
the unforgettable high
who put the moon and the stars in the skies
the kaleidoscope inside your eyes

Rising higher from the primal cries
like a spiral up to the moon
day by day this ambitious grind
search for a new state of mind

Restless species, all of Africa
running for water and food
flowers and trees & wild, wild weeds
colours and shapes of our tribes

The Truth will set you free
we will stand up to the lie
with this heart bigger than America
we will fight fire with fire
no more kiss will seal the lies
 
Ok, this isn't about a lyric, but Spud, who is in the new avatar, an old shot of Bowie? (exposing my ignorance with the question ;-))

Flower Kings

Good one for 'Rocky Top'. I was going to post more but started watching Aeon Flux. It got late. Charlize Theron is hot.

Cheers,

Bob
