Lyrics!

[gwendolyngrace]

Because I feel like it. No looking them up! (I didn't.)

Guess the songs*:

1. I could become a frying pan or a brand new Chevrolet. - guessed by etakyma

2. So if you care to find me, look to the western skies. - guessed by sylke (and etakyma, but she didn't post because she's sitting right here) and by many others (the most guessed so far!)

3. My intuition told me you'd come on the scene. - guessed by etakyma

4. Come saddle my horses and call out my men!

5. That's it! That's right! I've found myself a partner who knows my style.

6. Near a soldier, an ex-marine with a tattooed dagger and an eagle trembling....

7. Let loose from the noose that's kept me hangin' about-- - guessed by roguebitch

8. Destiny beckons; I never reckoned second best.... - guessed by etakyma

9. Wide as a mile--the Shieldwall.... - guessed by sylke

10. Do not fear! We'll be here! Courageous are we.


*I really highly doubt any one person will get *all* of these, especially since there's a...broad range of songs represented here. And some are really obscure. But hey, why not?


Can you guess that I have a fondness for internal rhyme?

7. Is Aerosmith . . . "Walk This Way?" (Unless you've got someone else's cover).

Other than that . . . stumped. 2. Sounds familiar, but I haven't no idea what it might be. :D

[gwendolyngrace.livejournal.com]

Right genre, wrong band.

[here-be-dragons.livejournal.com]

Oh you're right - it's AC-DC . . . "Back in Black."

Dagnabbit, a song which I heard just two days ago, when I saw "Iron Man." LOL! I love that song. I can't believe I thought that was "Walk This Way."

(BTW, I didn't Google it; it just came into my head when I saw your comment). :D :D :D

#7: Back in Black, AC/DC.

The others? I got nothin.

[gwendolyngrace.livejournal.com]

Correct! 9 I would not expect you to ever get, because I'm positive you've never heard it.

10 you might get depending on whether Hari watches a lot of Disney.

Er, we try not to. *grins*

7 is only the most *obvious*. ;->

Obvious to you! etakyma has just been telling me that she doesn't pay any attention to classic rock (and when it appears in Show, she ignores it unless she already recognizes it).

I'm a really bad person to try and guess these because you could give me the entire chorus of a lot of songs I know and I still wouldn't know what the name of the song is. Plus I'm always more of a melody than a lyrics person, so that doesn't really help me either. :) That said...

#1: rings a bell, a bit, but no idea where or what.
#2 took me a minute. I could hear it, but I couldn't place it or finish the song. I know it's from Wicked, I know it's Elphaba, at the end. It's probably the best known song from there, gimme a minute, the title will come to me when my mental iTunes finally stops skipping and gets to the chorus.
#7, I can sing that line, but I can't even tell you whether it's a pop song or movie soundtrack or musical, much less finish the next line. It's something I hear a lot, which makes me think modern radio song since I haven't had Broadway in rotation in ages...
#8, that's not Wicked again, is it? It took me until now to remember "Defying Gravity", there's no way I'm going to remember what that one is.
#9, ooh ooh, that one I can do! :D "Scarlet".
#10 I think is another SCA song? Or a musical.

It's official, I suck at lyrics. ;) Did I ever mention I'm really bad with names, too?

I'm really bad at names, too.

2 and 9 are correct!

I'm glad *someone* else recognizes 9....

[baronessekat.livejournal.com]

2. "Defying Gravity" from Wicked

[gwendolyngrace.livejournal.com]

Correct!

[nezumi1288.livejournal.com]

number 2 is from wicked - Elphaba, in Defying Gravity

[gwendolyngrace.livejournal.com]

Correct!

That's the one with the highest number of correct answers.

10 is from the Rescue Rangers, it's their official song. "R-E-S-C-U-E, Rescue Aid Society! Heads held high, touch the sky. You mean everything to me!"

Godalmighty I don't believe I remember that song. I have it on a 33 record at home. I used to play it over and over again when I was young.

And yes, I recognize 9, I just figured someone else already guessed, so... ;)

[gwendolyngrace.livejournal.com]

Hah - close! Lyrics are right, but it's The Rescuers, not Rescue Rangers

[mg4h.livejournal.com]

@#(*^@#(*& I got it fixed in the lyrics, once I realized I did that (stupid Chip'n'Dale) but didn't fix the first line. I DID get the lyrics right, right?

Right?

;)

You bet:

In a jam? In a scrape? And you think, no escape?
Do not fear! We'll be here! Courageous are we
R-E-S-C-U-E. Rescue Aid Society.
Heads held high, touch the sky,
You mean everything to me!
