Another attempt at that lyrics-quiz business

[von_geisterhand]

Seeing that the last time, it was either too obscure or a bad moment, here's another one of those "This is the first line and now you tell me what the song is"-thingies, brought for your delectation during boring coffee-breaks. Tracks are selected by the Winamp shuffle function.
(And as per usual, I shall refrain from trying to transcribe noise-tracks):

1. I need a dream where I can live what I say

2. I don't believe in an interventionist God
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds "Into my arms" baraskukor confessing his romantic side
3. Let me burn you, let me burn you, let me burn you, etc.
Front 242 "Religion (pussy-whipped mix)". tryste gets that point.
4. How long have you been free in this world of hate and greed?
Hand to forehead! Wolfsheim's "The Sparrows and the Nightingales" on the deck. _madredeus_ spotted those birds.

5. Jedes Mal, wenn ich bei Dir bin, schaltest Du das Radio ein.
Die Ärzte "Radio brennt", brought to you by the letter X and karohemd)

6. (Fucking up the drums!) This is our time

7. Perfect little dream, the kind that hurts the most
Nine Inch Nails "Gave up" barashkukor might well decide to look at his GF in a clever manner tonight ;-)

8. On a wagon, bound for market

9. Come with me, into the trees
Depeche Mode "Stripped" (Rammstein-version also considered) A tie between tryste and _madredeus_, both of which people would undoubtedly like to see stripped ;-)

10. Damn, maybe they're all right, you won't go nowhere if you're high all night

11. I believe I can see the future, because I repeat the same routine
And Nine Inch Nails once more, this time with "Every Day is exactly the same" barashkukor will probably decide to look clever and smug tonight full stop.

12. I got my work cut out with you, you tore bits out of me
13. The feel of the action is far behind
14. Lord, save my sinful soul from local punishments

15. Zwei Dinge sind unendlich, die Dummheit und das All
Einstürzende Neubauten "Was ist ist". Another point for the man in the karohemd
16. I don't know, just where I'm going
The Velvet Underground "Heroin" inquis, clearly listening not only to power-metal in her spare time.

17. The boy who talked to tigers was such a naughty boy
18. I believe in homicide
19. We're going under, we're going under

20. Terror raids the land, to ashes we'll be sent
Because no list would be complete without some proper metal. Sepultura with their delightful number "Amen". Twiddlytwiddlydee from musoholic and bass-solo from barashkukor

Wow, that's obscure, I know only two:
5) Die Ärzte - Radio brennt
15) Einstürzende Neubauten - Was ist ist (I think)

[von-geisterhand.livejournal.com]

Och, I don't know, I actually tried to make it varied, so all the people from my Friends list had a chance.
I am glad I included a few tracks in German, though. :-)
Full marks.

[galaxy-girl00.livejournal.com]

I don't know any of these =0(

Might make uyp some of my own to challenge you!

[von-geisterhand.livejournal.com]

Not to worry. After all, you already scored a point last time:

Looking forward to that challenge. 8-)

Das ja schwer *find*

[http://users.livejournal.com/-madredeus-/]

4. Wolfsheim mit Sparrows and Nightingales
9. Depeche Mode mit Stripped oder Rammstein etwa?

Re: Das ja schwer *find*

[von-geisterhand.livejournal.com]

Naja, wie gesagt, ich habe versucht, für alle Teile meiner Bekanntschaft was dabei zu haben. Und hat ja auch geklappt. Zwei Punkte für die "Och, unten ist bei der Return doch auch ganz schön"-Fraktion.
4. Natürlich.
9. Beide Versionen sind auf meiner Festplatte zu finden. In diesem Fall hat Winamp aber das Original ausgespuckt.

Re: Das ja schwer *find*

[http://users.livejournal.com/-madredeus-/]

*hehe* und dass, obwohl ich da unten so gut wie nie zu finden bin *lach*

[tryste.livejournal.com]

3. Front 242 -- Religion
6. I want to say The Goonies (the Sean Astin speech in the wishing well *grin*)
9. Depeche Mode -- Stripped

Not much subcultural capital for me today, I'm afraid! ;-)

[von-geisterhand.livejournal.com]

Well, gotta start somewhere. :-)
And the two serious ones are correct, of course.

[musoholic.livejournal.com]

Most of these I do not know, but...

16) Here I Go Again - Whitesnake
20) Chaos AD - Sepultura

Right?

[barashkukor.livejournal.com]

Chaos AD is the title of the Album, the song should be Amen...

[von-geisterhand.livejournal.com]

20) Correct. I thought that this might be one for you.
16) No, older.

[musoholic.livejournal.com]

Blah, I always got confused about that one... Always thought Chaos AD was a track title, and Amen was an album title...

And anyway, number 16 is from Here I Go Again. Might not be the answer on the card, but it's in the song! So there... :D

[barashkukor.livejournal.com]

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - "Into My Arms"

[barashkukor.livejournal.com]

äh, das war nummer zwei!

und das 7. Perfect little dream, the kind that hurts the most ist
NIN mit Gave Up

[barashkukor.livejournal.com]

und dann haben wir nochmal NIN mit "Every day is exactly the same" mit Nr. 11 :-)

yay!

[barashkukor.livejournal.com]

oh, wie konnte ich das nur übersehen:
Terror raids the land, to ashes we'll be sent

Sepultura - Amen

Re: yay!

[von-geisterhand.livejournal.com]

Da schaut man einmal woanders hin und dann kommt da doch jemand und räumt ab. Klasse :-)
Alle richtig.

[inquis.livejournal.com]

16. Heroin by Velvet Underground? If it's definitely not Whitesnake ;o)

[von-geisterhand.livejournal.com]

Trust a woman who has made a hobby out of drawing male genitalia to recognize something as morally dubious as The Velvet Underground. ;-D
Correct.

[inquis.livejournal.com]

And it was the tune that popped into my head when I read it. I think the comman made my head hum that rather than Whitesnake first.

I like the Velvet Underground, and that album is intensely listenable. I also rather liked Nico's solo stuff.
