Game Over. The ones in bold are the ones nobody got.
Game, stolen from blindeinstein:
Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 20 (er…21) songs that play
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly
Step 5: No cheating (typing the lyrics into a search engine to find the song)
1. They’re gonna find intelligent life up there on the moon The Mountain Goats: Cubs in Five
The Pixies: Debaser 2. Got me a movie, I want you to know, slicing up eyeballs, I want you to know.
The Mountain Goats: Old College Try 3. From the housetops to the gutters, from the ocean to the shore, the warning signs have all been bright and garish, far too great in number to ignore.
4. Daddy please hear this song that I sing, in your heart there’s a spark that just screams for a lover to bring… Neutral Milk Hotel: Two Headed Boy, Pt. 2
Lasse Lindh: C’mon Through 5. It ain’t so easy to love you true, account of all the rattlesnakes and all that makes you blue.
Hem: When I Was Drinking 6. When I was drinking when I was with you, living it up when the rent was due.
The Microphones: Sand 7. I’d like to believe in one thing that you say to me.
8.Ghost, ghost I know you live within me, feel as you fly. Neutral Milk Hotel: Ghost
Grandaddy: Miner at the Dial-A-View 9. I found your house and I saw your car, but I’ve no idea where you are
Pavement: You are a Light 10. Tangled in the midst of all the trust the way you pissed inside the brain file technology drive
The Mountain Goats: Slow West Vultures 11. Breaking the signal so it’s totally unreadable, drinking the dregs, eating the utterly inedible.
John Vanderslice: You Were My Fiji 12. Oh we kissed only once, in your stripped out apartment, you sold your furniture, so we kissed on the carpet.
The Silver Jews: Smith & Jones Forever 13. Are you honest? When no one’s looking can you summon honey from a telephone?
Kevin Devine: Tapdance 14. You get back here, do it slowly, do it calm, now don’t be so angry.
Johnny Cash: Give my Love to Rose 15. I found him by the railroad track this morning, I could see that he was nearly dead.
Spiritualized: Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space 16. All I want in life’s a little bit of love to take the pain away.
PJ Harvey: 50 ft Queenie 17. Hey I’m one big queen, no one can stop me, red light red green, sat back and watching
18. What a beautiful face I have found in this place that is circling all round the sun Neutral Milk Hotel: In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Badly Drawn Boy: 40 Days and 40 Fights 19. You look a lot lot better tonight, you and I should go out for a fight.
20. The only girl I’ve ever loved, was born with roses in her eyes. Neutral Milk Hotel: Holland, 1945
Joanna Newsom: Peach, Plum, Pear 21. We speak in the store, I’m a sensitive bore, and you’re markedly more

Coral
okay I only know 2. 18 is Neutral Milk Hotel – In the Aeroplane Over the Sea and 20 is Neutral Milk Hotel – Holland 1945….I’m not sure about the last title though..bah. sorry I suck
P.S. you should feel good that you’re not bill
the only ones i know are 1, 4, 8, 18, and 20.
i am impressed that you have the mountain goats.. i love that song. thats why i had to play this game, even though i dont know you.
As a note, you may notice that obleo didn’t list the song names, however the songs have been stricken from the list. This is because I have spoken in private with the aforementioned user, and she has agreed to build and send me tiny model race cars for two years or 2,100 cars (whichever comes first) in compensation for taking her word in saying that she knows the songs. Any other interesting offers can contact me.
Also…I didn’t realize how much Neutral Milk Hotel I had on here. Or Mountain Goats (there are more that haven’t been discovered). This was not purposeful.
hey thanks sounds like an awesome movie…probably be hard to find though eh? neways..chat at you later possibly…
Coral
well. the first few racecars are on the way.
see how much you know on my site, smarty pants
i am extremely impressed with your musical prowess (regina spektor was very surprising), but you missed some easy ones (ben folds, simon & garfunkel, ryan adams). i also got so fed up with not knowing exactly which song is which (and yet knowing the lyrics) on your list that i spent too much time too and looked them up. this impressed me more.
give bones… jay used to always say that. anyway of course I know those songs. I dont have to play this game to have you know that. go to that website on my blogggg. that freaks website. are you going to call me when you come down. youll be even more of an asshole if you dont.
I knew the Johnny Cash song, but I only found your page today. 🙁
