You're so right! On every count.

8 is Colin Hay "Beautiful World."

9 is BNL "Same Thing."

14 is "you will you will you will" etc, mine was by Snow Patrol, yours isn't.

19 sounds familiar, but I'll just give up instead.

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Mine is Snow Patrol too. It's in fact precisely the version you sent me. *g* And you do know 19, just you wait.

Excellent. The Snow Patrol version exceeds all others.

[identity profile] themoonbar.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. Several of these are familiar, but I can only get a few:

11. The Barenaked ladies, Same Thing
12. Maroon Five, She Will be loved
14. Bright Eyes, You Will

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yep yep. It's actually Snow Patrol's cover of that Bright Eyes song, which Punk sent me and which I highly recommend. Mmmm.

[identity profile] themoonbar.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. I didn't realize Snow patrol covered that song. I'll track it down, pronto.

[identity profile] septicemic.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
That's my FAVORITE icon, right there. Am so glad somebody ganked it.

[identity profile] fourteenlines.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. #5 is courtesy of moi, "Lay Me Down" by The Frames.

And #19 is "The Asshole Song" by Jude.

Also, the cut-tag text is "Rick James" by Jude. *g*

And I knew the BNL one as well, of course.

And! (To continue a theme in first words of sentences) I'm very interested to learn that Snow Patrol covered a Bright Eyes song. Because I love Snow Patrol and really sort of hate Bright Eyes, but I think he writes some interesting songs.

Also, I've been drinking. *g*

[identity profile] selenak.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
This clearly shows how ignorant I am of song lyrics. I didn't recognize a single one, but I'm curious about #4, which sounds like a Londo/G'Kar song.*g*

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
I love that Frames song. Actually, I nabbed them all, the ones you sent, and I love them ALL. I'm partial to "Santa Maria" and "What Happens When The Heart Just Stops." Thank you!

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
I took this one too. *g* I love it. Thank you!

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. You know, it really IS. And, you get a copy of this cd, baby. Send me your Munich addy?

[identity profile] fourteenlines.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Wheee!

PS. they may be touring the West coast in the spring. *g*

[identity profile] selenak.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
I shall, if you sent me your Los Angeles one.*g* (Actually, didn't I send you mine already pre-holidays? Never mind, I'll send again.)

Anyway, since you're still awake; Londo's last challenge reply would provide an opening for you know what.*veg*

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sort of mired in cd-making over here, especially since I have to construct about 20 of these in the next day, and I'm handwriting all of 'em. *g* I'll definitely go read Londo's latest, but I'm not convinced I can respond tonight...

However, address received!

[identity profile] selenak.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Handwriting? Poor you.*g*

It doesn't have to tonight, just if possible before the 30th because I lose online access then.

In my personal, rockstar, opinion, the Snow Patrol cover is approximately eight SKILLION times better than the Bright Eyes version. It's got so much more feeling to it.

And I think my favorite Frames song you posted was Revelate. Because it's screamy. I'm apparently on a screamy kick lately.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_swallow/ 2004-12-28 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
I know none of these (except the already-guessed Costello), but I love you madly anyway.

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
I love you *more.* In fact, Punk and I were just talking about how much we love you.

[identity profile] fourteenlines.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
It's got so much more feeling to it.

*cough*nothardtoimagine*cough*cough*

Hm. There is also a fantastic screamy song they do called "Stars Are Underground." Perhaps I'll upload it when I get a chance. *g*

No, Bright Eyes is not so much about feeling as it is about sound. I've never really taken to his music either, though it's okay if you're looking for some nice music to kill yourself by. I put a song or two of his on a Smallville mix I'm making for Lex.

Re: *snicker*

[identity profile] fourteenlines.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
So very glad I'm not the only one. Sometimes it feels like it.

[identity profile] cpsings4him.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Number 18's gotta be Norah Jones (that girl LOVE the moon apparently - sings about it all the time!). Is it "Creepin' In"?

[identity profile] cpsings4him.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course, what I MEANT to say was "loveS"...why, o why can we not edit our own comments?

[identity profile] tangleofthorns.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
15. "Good Life," Francis Dunnery, from Scrubs, see, I pay attention!

[identity profile] intl-princess.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
10 = Strange Boat by the Waterboys. A reference to Sab's Home for the Wayward, no doubt? Just read [livejournal.com profile] mandysbitch's Scrubs!fic and was thinking of you. Merry festive season.

[identity profile] maudelynn.livejournal.com 2004-12-28 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)

Dude, all the ones I know have been snatched away, guessed and identified, but you know I'd offer up a variety of precious things, my body included for your icon? Because it's my boy, in his crazy days of wild hair and cigarettes and snarling fuck the folkies and play rock n'roll, but sill keep your smile days.

Go visit my girl Katherine, [livejournal.com profile] septicemic, over here, where she's got heaps of Dylan to share. Tell her I sent ya.

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2004-12-29 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yes'm. I fully intend to be whisked away. We'll stand on the sidelines and snark. *g* Wheeeee.

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2004-12-29 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! It sure is. Norah Jones with Dolly Parton, in fact. Mmmmm. LOVE that song.

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2004-12-29 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
You SO get a cookie. I love that song. Actually, if you're very good, I'll put these all up for yousendit for you to enjoy. Meanwhile, what have you been listening to that you should share with me? Share share.

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2004-12-29 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
How funny! My version's actually by Shivaree, and until you posted this I always figured it was just a Shivaree song. I must go investigate these Waterboys. Is their version good?

I just bookmarked CGB's fic. What with that and Yuletide I am FULL of Scrubsish holiday spirit!

[identity profile] maudelynn.livejournal.com 2004-12-29 12:27 am (UTC)(link)

pardon me for just passing through but I like these lyric memes and this is one of the most varied I've seen today. Guess I got to them late but there's one

*11. the shape we're meant to make is gone

That's Iron and Wine - Lion's Mane.
best line from that 'the earth is warmer when you laugh'

Yeah, and thank you:) I'll wander over and ask politely, showing her my Sab seal of approval as a greeting:)

Happy New Year!
