CAL2: storm it is gathering, reasons unravelling, streets they are burning, the darkness is travelling
CAL3: it's six o'clock, the sun goes down, the hotel shudders with the sound
CAL4: the word is out, it hit the polls, claimed a place inamongst the rest of today’s new things and last nights shows
CAL5: so come on over in your range rover, a patron of the arts. you like the creative type but they gotta play the part

I like the sound of CAL3
Posted by cal, 12:33, 15th August 2003:
 
i have it on mp3 on one of my servers. once it's been guessed i'll give you the link ;)
Posted by eatmypiano, 12:45, 15th August 2003:
 
CAL8 is the Sneaker Pimps. I think the track is called Roll Over or Roll On.

CAL10 is the Violent Femmes. Again, not sure of the track name. Something to do with "Blister"

DOC3 is Boom Bip, Mannequin Hand Trapdoor I Reminder. Which is easy since I posted the lyrics up here a couple of weeks ago.

DOC1 is something about "Ice Cream Truck". Satans? Devils? (I wish I was at home with my MPEGs)...



cal: EMP2 is "This is a call" by the Foos as you correctly said.
Posted by Doctor Lucid, 12:53, 15th August 2003:
 
DOC2 is indeed Rammstein, although I didn't realise the pocket calculator thing...
Posted by Doctor Lucid, 12:53, 15th August 2003:
 
Yes, correct, MOC3 is indeed the amazing Boom Bip and Dave Swann.
Posted by arsepuppy, 12:57, 15th August 2003:
 
Can I do some??

Here you go.


AP1: Life is just a game, we're all just the same...do you wanna play?
AP2: Yeah, I heard a funny thing, somebody said to me you know that I could be in love with almost everyone
AP3: So I'll binge on crack and tiramisu
AP4: I'm a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm
Posted by arsepuppy, 13:00, 15th August 2003:
 
(I'm crap at lyrics, btw. Hence my lack of input)
Posted by Doctor Lucid, 13:18, 15th August 2003:
 
it's not pocket calculator (moc2);

"I'm the operator with my pocket calculator
I'm the operator with my pocket calculator
I am adding and subtracting
I'm controlling and composing
By pressing down a special key, it plays a little melody
By pressing down a special key, it plays a little melody"

Ah well. My German's a bit rusty.
Posted by Doctor Lucid, 13:25, 15th August 2003:
 
It's actually "Wollt ihr das bett in flammen sehen" by unimitable German fire and heavy-metal-techno-stylee merchants Rammstein.

Which means; "Would you like to see the bed on fire?"
Posted by Sul, 13:27, 15th August 2003:
 
So its quite obvious where I went wrong....
Posted by eatmypiano, 13:36, 15th August 2003:
 
AP1: Prince, Controversy. Or the theme tune to the Generation Game
AP2: Damned. It's either called "Alone Again" or "Alone Again Or"
AP3: Super Furries - Rings around the world
AP4: Iggy Pop. Might be the Stooges. Can't remember what it's called.
Posted by arsepuppy, 13:38, 15th August 2003:
 
AP1 is indeed Controversy
AP2 is "Alone Again Or", but I had the original by Love in mind

You're *so* close on the last two :)
Posted by eatmypiano, 13:45, 15th August 2003:
 
AP3 is definitely a line from Rings around the world. So it must appear in another song I don't know of. Unless you want me to type "Super Furry Animals" instead of Super Furries"....
Posted by arsepuppy, 13:47, 15th August 2003:
 
It's from that album, yes. But the actual song title?
Posted by arsepuppy, 13:47, 15th August 2003:
 
Same with 4, you have the artist right (Stooges) but what was the song called?
Posted by arsepuppy, 13:54, 15th August 2003:
 
AP5: "The first time I tried to waterski, a boat ran over my head"
AP6: "So she arranged a place to go, to see if he would fall for her incognito"
AP7: "I can't sleep, cause my bed's on fire. Don't touch me I'm a real live wire"
AP8: "I'm gonna put on a iron shirt, and chase Satan out of earth"
Posted by Sul, 13:57, 15th August 2003:
 
AP5: Kirsty MacColl?
Posted by arsepuppy, 14:00, 15th August 2003:

I thought it was Rings Around The World. Shoot Doris Day?

AP7 is Psycho Killer, written by talking heads, performed by thousands of different artists.

AP8 is used in Prodigy's "Out of space." It's a Reggae song by some bloke who probably has a name, but I can't remember it. Is it called "Chase the devil"?
Posted by chandler, 14:10, 15th August 2003:
 
was that "did we just pass a hat?"
Posted by Sul, 14:11, 15th August 2003:

Posted by arsepuppy, 14:12, 15th August 2003:
 
It was Shoot Doris Day, yes. AP7 is spot on, it was Talking Heads. AP8, you have the title right... but not the artist. But he was a reggae blokey.

Yes and Yes to Chay. Just leaves

EMP1: It's barely nice, when I'm not around, to hear you like to put me down

Also, I think CAL1 is wrong. If it's A-ha, Take on me then the lyrics are similar but wrong and Cal should be punished.

EMP1: It's barely nice, when I'm not around, to hear you like to put me down

CAL3: it's six o'clock, the sun goes down, the hotel shudders with the sound
CAL5: so come on over in your range rover, a patron of the arts. you like the creative type but they gotta play the part
CAL9: good morning mr early bird, well can you tell me what's the word you always used to come around to pick me up when i was down

MOC6: Just give me one good reason why I should go home again
