The idea is to post a line or lines from a song, and see if anyone can identify the lyrics. Here's one that should be easy:
"And the meek shall inherit the earth"
didn't Jesus said that ?
yes but it was also used in a song, know which one?
nope , sorry.
Here's one that is not so easy...
They say that lifes a carousel Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well The world is full of Kings and Queens Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams Its heaven and hell, oh well And theyll tell you black is really white The moon is just the sun at night And when you walk in golden halls You get to keep the gold that falls Its heaven and hell, oh no!
Does it continue 'The savage and honest are dead'? I think it's called 'All the Good Times are Passed and Gone' - don't know who wrote it.
How about 'There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plough'?
Can anyone name a rock song that quotes the 22nd Psalm? (and no, it's not something from the Christian Rock genre). I'll be mightily impressed if you can, by the way (it happens toward the end of the track).
Here's another one (give the source, please):
what happened to our heroes
they seemed to disappear
the singers keep on singing
but they don't sound sincere
The first comes from 2112, Rush and the second is Heaven and Hell, Black Sabbath. I suspect the first one occurs in a few other places as well.
My current favourite:
May I make my fond excusesfor the lateness of the hour,but we accept your invitation, and we bring you Beltane's flower.For the May Day is the great day, sung along the old straight track.And those who ancient lines did laywill heed the song that calls them back.Pass the word and pass the lady, pass the plate to all who hunger.Pass the wit of ancient wisdom, pass the cup of crimson wonder.
Jethro Tull, Cup of Wonder
That was a good one, crisy...I had to look it up ("Ode to Billie Joe").
And one more (always one of my favorites--and thematic for this site as well!):
The rivers are full of crocodile nasties and He who made kittens put snakes in the grass. He'sa lover of life but a player of pawns --- yes, the King in His sunset lies waiting for dawn to light up His jungle as play is resumed. The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.
"don't know what I want, but I know how to get it"
Hey there, people, I'm Bobby BrownThey say Im the cutest boy in town.My car is fast, my teeth is shiney,I tell all the girls they can kiss my heinie.Here I am at a famous school,I'm dressin' sharp and I'mActing cool.I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper,Let her do all the work n maybe later Ill rape her
"They say in chess you've got to kill the queen and then you made it.Oh I, do youA funny thing, the king who gets himself assassinated.Hey now, every time I lose"
Same as Tonydal, a song I like and applicable to the site.
mucho Tull
Try this one~
我的天空多麼的清新 透明的承諾是過去的空氣 ...
everybody was kung fu fighting
( I know, stupid joke)
Or this one:
I wanna be the very best, that noone ever was. To catch them is my way to test; to train them is my cause... I will travel across the land, searching far and wide...
the most famous song from the late 1900's =P
I might not know that much about music, but I'll sure as recognize (and sing along) to the pokemon theme song.
"something is at the edge of your mind, your not sure what it is. something you were hoping to find, you don't know what it is. Then you hear...."
