Guess that song


Yankee4Life

Recommended Posts

Aye, they sing the original. Gary Jules sings the cover. A cut up version of the cover was also used for the Gears of War commercial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccWrbGEFgI8

It's from the movie Donnie Darko, which you should really check out if you haven't. Ranked #105 in IMDB's 250. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0246578/

It's one of the best song placements in a move that I've ever seen.

While they are trying to guess that one, I have one that someone may or may not know.

Day after day, day after day,

We stuck nor breath nor motion

As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean

Water, water everywhere and

All the boards did shrink

Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink.

Any English major would be remiss not to recognize Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." But did somebody sing a version of it?

Here is one for you all

We drove these streets heads to shoulders

existing to tell the tales of letting go

and now we're strangled to tears on the fallback farewell

So was mine just to hard for you guys? Or is it because it isn't some mainstream artist?

I'll play

I know my neighbors wish I'd die

I'm much too loud when I get high

I think I'll send around some pie

I'll spike that dish with a touch of herb

It'll numb their lips

And soothe their nerves

I'll build my kingdom on the curb

I'll play. This one should be fairly easy.

"Ridin' down the highway

Goin' to a show

Stop in all the by-ways

Playin' rock 'n' roll

Gettin' robbed

Gettin' stoned

Gettin' beat up

Broken boned

Gettin' had

Gettin' took

I tell you folks

It's harder than it looks"

Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock,

we blended with the crowd

We got computer, we're tapping phone lines,

I know that ain't allowed

We dress like students, we dress like housewives,

or in a suit and a tie

I changed my hairstyle, so many times now,

I don't know what I look like

You guys are kicking my butt with these lyrics. I haven't got one except for the Beatles song a few pages back. Hahahaahah

Ok, try this. It's a good one.

You're running away don't you know what you're doing

Can't you see it'll lead you to ruin

Charlotte you've taken your life and you've thrown it away

You believe that because what you're earning

Your life's good don't you know that you're hurting

All the people that love you don't cast them aside

Try this one, loosely translated:

Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone / Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone babe / I could not forget / But I will not endeavor / Simple pleasures aren't as special / But I won't regret it never

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul To Squeeze

Damn! That was fast. Wow.

And yes, it is a very good song. Bruce Dickinson's first album with Maiden as he replaced Paul Di'anno in late 1981.

Someone told me theres a girl out there

With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

Took my chances on a big jet plane,

Never let them tell you that theyre all the same.

The sea was red and the sky was grey,

Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.

Try this one on for size, for those who date themselves.
