First Line Lyrics Quiz

[jamesq]

16 songs to test your lyrical knowledge. You should try to sing them out loud - not because it will help you figure out the songs, but because I love picturing people looking funny.

I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh.
I want to hold you high and steal your pain away.
Broken - Seether with Amy Lee (guessed by vilashna)

You won't forget my eyes.
Deep inside you realize you're going to see me where ever you go.
You're going to hear me on your radio.

And I'd give up forever to touch you, 'cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be and I don't want to go home right now.
Iris - Goo Goo Dolls (guessed by kermie_canada)

I close my eyes, only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes - a curiosity.
Dust in the Wind - Kansas (guessed by petranef)

I don't want you and I don't need you.
Don't bother to resist or I'll beat ya.

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when I met you.

Turned you into someone new.

Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world.
She took the midnight train going anywhere.
Don't Stop Believin' - Journey (guessed by wackynephews)

If looks could kill you'd put a man way down in his grave.
I need a resurrection to get my condition straight.

Do you remember back in old LA,
when everybody drove a Chevrolette?

Look at what's happened to me.
I can't believe it myself.
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world
it should have been somebody else.
Believe it or Not - Joey Scarbury/Mike Post (guessed by nikitaa)

He was a hard-headed man,
he was brutally handsome
and she was terminally pretty.

Every night in my dreams,
I see you I feel you.
That is how I know you go on.
My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion/James Horner (guessed by vilashna)

Harry got up, dressed all in black.
Went down to the station and never came back.
They found his clothing scatttered somewhere down the track
and he won't be down on Wall Street anymore.
New York Minute - Don Henley (guessed by wackynephews)

Welcome to your life.
There's no turning back.
Even while we sleep,
we will find you waiting on your best behavior.
Everybody Wants to Rule the World - Tears For Fears (guessed by spookiemonkie through kermie_canada)

You put your hand on your hand.
Put your foot in the air.
Then you hop around the room in your underwear.
Wilbury Twist - Travelling Wilburys (guessed by evilscientist)

When the cold of winter comes
Starless night will cover day
In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain

I close my eyes, only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes - a curiosity.

Dust in the Wind - Kansas. One of my favorites.

I have another one on the tip of my brain, but can't quite get it to come forward. Argh!

Close, but no cigar!

GreatestAmerican Hero

Wasn't that a TV show?

Everybody Wants to Rule the World, Tears for Fears

I have it on good authority (spookie_monkie) that you didn't actually guess that one.

Mama Said (Knock You Out) - LL Cool J ?

Um. no.

Theme from Greatest American Hero - Christopher Cross

Looking for a song title, not a show title. Plus, it's not Christopher Cross.

Enya - In Dreams

[jamesq]

Congrats on actually guessing the song as opposed to the TV show it was from.

As for Enya - I was actually looking for "The Breaking of the Fellowship". Little did I know that the Enya song had identical lyrics (and was probably more popular). I need to improve those observational skills it seems.

AC/DC, Enya, Mike Post. Your CD collection must look like a dog's breakfast!

[petranef.livejournal.com]

Oh! That's awesome; I've wanted that song for a while now! :)

I wish they'd either re-run that series or release it on DVD.

[jamesq]

I've seen seasons 1 and 2 of "The Greatest American Hero" at Future Shop - it's been out for a couple of months now.

Dog's Breakfast

[nikitaa.livejournal.com]

It certainly does... just wait until I hit "Shuffle".

As for the TV show? Sorry, musta missed it.
