Alright so I was sitting in class the other day, trying to pay attention, when as usual my mind drifted to more interesting topics such as Common Rotation. You all may or may not know by now but I like to come up with fun topics to keep things interesting around here. So I came up with another one. At least I think it should be fun!

First I was going to list a ton of lines from all of the Common Rotation songs and have everyone try to match them with the song they go to all at once but then I thought that wouldn't be a very long and lively thread since it could be done in a post by one person. So now the game is I'll start by posting a line or two from a CR song and the person who guesses which song it is from first will post another line or two from a different song and so on. If you are pretty sure you are right in guessing the song then go ahead and post the next line and don't wait for confirmation that you are right because that would take too long probably. If we get through all the songs then we can use the same ones over again, just use different lines. In fact we don't even have to get through all the songs to do that. Just pick lines you like.

I'm sure this will be pretty easy for all of us since we know the songs inside and out by now but it should be fun nonetheless.

To start us off....

*You know I've been searching for answers
I never seem to find what I'm looking for*

Actually it's

*I know I've been searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm lookin' for*

Ohh that's "Here I Go Again"!

"We don't solve your problems here, we just work our way around." (I think that's it)

Offstage Lines!

"Another pair of ears to listen, to all that I... I've been missing"

More Complex Than It Sounds

"There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down"

Everybody Wants to Rule the World

"The absence of what is wrong
Doesn't something good make"

That's - "What we have now"

heres one "Don't touch me I'm a live wire"

Indie Rockin'


Now for one of my favorite lines:

*My hands worn far from fair
Are in no shape to touch your heart*

The First Time!

"In the streetlight poses as a carrier for the daily news. He sings 'Extra! Extra! Read all about it!'"

Pretty Lights.

*I could tell you put it there
Just to see how much I could hold*

I'll be a Dancer one day...


"It's never safe to assume you could ever rid yourself of her perfume."

good line. one of my faves

"Savior" in case you missed the message title






"i know it's not that important to see who she came here with
for they had a lover's quarrel, a substantial tiff"

(??)

Hey Hey Lena...

You litigate and fabricate then delegate some
I meant it when I told you that you're the only one.

it was too easy, hehe

"Rockstar" for yours



"The weary whisper "How was it?" "It was fine."
But she’ll never know what the truth is all about."

How about:
It was something like, hello, your name and the standard credential array.

Burgandy

*I'm an artist of illusion
and I sketch a strange design*

Okay then, Sit Down.

same one I put before.

Too easy- it's did a verse end..


"I used to spend my time getting all pissed off at traffic lights, but even that got boring you know it seemed so trite"

Hey, did a verse end? (heehee)

Um...

Thats one to live by or either that one to die to
I try to just throw it at you determine your own adventure...

Pssst...by the way, "It was something like, hello, your name and the standard credential array." wasn't from Sit Down. Any other guesses?

For Rachels~ Oklahoma. and you said mine was easy

Oh crap that wasn't Sit Down it was The Crowd And I

Don't know Shelly's last one.

Yay!

Shelly's last one was "Rosa Parks"!

"Now I will aquander all my aare free days. I will suffer from these wealthy ways"

Stef-Rosa Parks is a version of Savior

And to answer Stef's it's Payback

Hehe I had it in my head and had to put it on my winamp so I could tell

Here's mine...

Kick it in now with the backbeat. Put the four on the floor. And innocent now to try to compete with a tune you heard before.

At least I think that's what it is. It's hard to tell

This is fun We need new songs to play with!

"Don't don't don't let's start this is the worst part. To believe for all the world, that you're my precious little girl. Don't don't don't let's start, I've got a weak heart. I can't get around till you get around."-"Don't Let's Start", They Might Be Giants covered by Common Rotation-
"It's not the size of the mic it's the length of the song."-"Rockstar", Common Rotation-
"What was so delicately touching was she recalled that I preferred it red."-"Burgandy", Common Rotation-
"I'm not a poet, nor a prophet though I dream from time to time. I'm an artist of illusion and I sketch a strange design.. So don't pay me with respect, just pay me with attention."-"Did A Verse End?", Common Rotation-
"When I was younger I used to get angry at all the girls. Now that I'm older, I just get angry at the world."-"Oklahoma", Common Rotation-

Well technically, Stef, you were right. The lyrics were actually from 'Rosa Parks'

Indie Rockin' for TB's

*If you skin the cat you can take em back
you can make em wait but it's far too late*

Gwen - yeeeeeuh... lol. But like Shelly said, technically that song isn't CR's song, so it wouldn't be "Savior".

OK, Briel. You stumped me this time.

If no one gets it soon then I'll add some more lines. Just want to give others a chance to guess.

I can sing the words to the tune, but the song is completely escaping me!

Please, please, put us out of our misery!

Briel, is it Prime Time?

You got it Davina! Yayyyyyy! LOL

I'm sitting here at work singing it - I knew I'd get there eventually, but in the meantime, everyone here thinks I'm just that little bit north of insane!

Who cares!

And now I have to think of lyrics - sorry, brain frazzled after trying to get that one - Briel, please do it for me!

LOL! Well now everyone has heard some CR so their days should be a little better.

Okay let's see...

*I just can't give my consent to settle your score*

Well, it was me singing so I don't suppose it brightened their day at all! Although I have managed to spread the CR word to a couple of people at work, and they're very happy about it.

Have no idea what those lyrics are - probably something I haven't heard yet!

Have a good weekend all!

Davina

Davinia-how in the hellmouth did you know that one?

Briel-you are wicked evil. g

I have no idea which that one is. Can't think.

Okay I'll give ya'll another line. These lines aren't together in the song though. It was played at the Hotel Cafe and if you are really desperate you can look through old threads to find out which songs were played and take out the ones that are on the cd and available to download cuz it's none of those.

Tired of discussing the poetry of your second act

UgH, I love that line and I know that song! I do. I do. I just can't think of it right now. Grr!

Wait, it's not Post-Modern, is it?

(and if by chance it is, go for it Briel and do the next lyrics. I gotta run off to work!)

You got it!

Up to me again!? Okay then...

*I'm sorry but that's not what we're looking for*

All My Time! :D

"I'm believing there's nothing like achieving that bone that you threw me last night"

I'll say Post Modern. Probably wrong though.


"Till I have my song"

Stef's song was: "One Step Up"

Vixen's song was: "Payback"

"well now you're in trouble - you(?) believe you're seeing double"

Probably kinda hard ... "want to go to a movie later? Spy Kids 2?" thank you, good night.

answering machine

so smile for the camera
make sure you capture the good side

Savior

*We tremble in quiet dismay
then we dance to the tempo that pleases me*

Dana was right

And the last one was "Fortunate"

"All my wiskey and all my beer. You'd rather go home, but you can't stay here"

That's "Cowboy Tune!" :P

howbout: "The stars are cut like diamonds for someone to see" (I think that's how it goes.
Rachel

Lena

You litigate and fabricate then delegate some

Rockstar

"How these ticks of desparation pass for looks of sophistocation"

what we have now?

Correct!

well, since i was correct, i suppose i oughta do my part


all that vintage wine and cheese
on your bedroom floor

Annon~ It sounds extrememly familiar. Can you give us another line or a hint please.

psycho-analyzing how i react to your latest creation

I admit it! I can't guess and obviously no one else can get it. So either another hint or another song. C'mon there has been too many brain cells sacrificed to the big party for me get any of this hard shit!

Maybe... "Common Rotation"?

we now interrupt this lull in the guessing with some fun links!

hugyou.wav - "I'm gonna take you home and hug you and squeeze you and pet you and lock you in a cage and keep you forever!" (Elmira/ Tiny Toon Adventures)

gold.wav - "We are two lab mice trying to take over the world by seizing it's gold assets." (Pinky and the Brain)

wabbits.wav - "Shhh! Be vewy, vewy quiet! I'm hunting wabbits!" (Elmer Fudd)

Good night!

its post modern
its (after the war??)
with all that vintage wine and cheese
on your bedroom floor
etc.....


well, it seems i've stumped y'all.

heres another:

second or third guess
of what i'll say next

"Payback" - before the rant

"Romeo leans in and in a prothetic voice says 'hey, can I get a hit off that?'"

"Payback" - before the rant

"Romeo leans in and in a prothetic voice says 'hey, can I get a hit off that?'"

"Payback" - before the rant

"Romeo leans in and in a prothetic voice says 'hey, can I get a hit off that?'"

Damn triple post... stupid board!

LOL Wow Stef was so excited she knew the song she posted it three times! J/K!

Anyhoo, That was Pretty Lights.

*Of who I am not sure but I’d like a little more*

Briel-it's Did A Verse End

"You fumble around for the old kitchen corkscrew and you break that seal"

g

You could never tell my favorite song

"Burgandy"

"I have no money, but I can be cute and I can be funny"

Payback

"Can't kill him with your heart because he's etched in your mind"


Old Skool Alert!!!! Anyone guess the $25,000 Questions?

1)"People dancing in circles all around"
2)"He's out there, acting as a wake up call for someone else"
3)"Shimmering Down"

Dancer.

And no I can't answer the $25,000 questions which sucks since I could use the money. lol

*Nothing is concrete so it's too hard to tread lightly down in this all night rage*

"Princess of Venice"!

"Many a day has passed, the night has gone by. But still I find the time to put that bump off in your eye"

I have no idea. LOL

Try saying it, not singing it

"Savior - Rosa Parks" --- it's Adam's part of the rap crap/rant thing-a-whats-it

I don't feel like finding/thinking of some lyrics for the next one, so anyone can go ahead and take my turn. Waayy too many things to think about right now.

P.S. Alternative CR board here: http://www.onthedial.com/refuge/. It gets moderated too. Neat-o.

Dana

I thought it was that but I didn't feel like guessing.

Okay I'll put another song...

Give me my home on the range

Grrr...I can hear the song in my head but I can't think of the name.

"Cowboy Tune"

"That is the crosshatch of a misconstrued mismatch. Yes this is the misconception we so dicreatly attatch"

K, how is it that everyone knew about that other CR board but me? Did I miss an entire thread about it or something?

Stef - You should've gotten an email about it a few weeks ago, but with the rash of same/similar names, it is possible I missed you.

Basically, that was a space started when the board first began it's nosedive - and after a week it seemed to get better - but then it pulled a stock market on us again, so shrug

Anyway, I almost always lurk here now, but not even as often as I used to. I came back today and saw the aftermath of this weekend, so I thought I would post that link (publicly this time) as an option.

ronia

Fortunate!

*turn it up loud so I can't hear
the future rappin' at my door*

Briel- that's Indie Rockin'... WOO!!! I figured one out!!!:D

Correct! Now you put a line.

Briel - my last one was "Dancer"... who posted "Fortunate"?

I was listening to Fortunate when I was answering so I accidentally put that. LOL I knew it was from Dancer! I really should stop trying to do two things at once.

well i'm rockin on this old bar stool 'cause the legs are cut uneven
the lights are coming up slowly
and yeah yeah i'm leavin

Isn't that there Cowboy Tune?

it's not the cowboy tune but i can't think of what eric calls it
it's one that he sings by himself

"Princess of Venice?" I know that's not "Dancer".

I don't think that's Princess of Venice and like Stef said, it sure isn't Dancer.

I'm rocking on this bar stool, cause the legs were cut uneven
the lights just went up with the chairs...
yeah,yeah, alright I'm leaving
Just give me one more shaky moment, give me one more solid reason.
I think Eric calls it "Given Signs"

thanks for the info
i don't think that i ever new what it was

No wonder. I've never heard tha one before. It must be one of Eric's solo songs.

I don't know that last one, but I'm gonna post a new one...
"And that's difference between God and me..."
Hint: New song they're doing....

God Does

*But I made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time*

... or whatever the cover is called.

Of course, all I could think of at first was a Rockapella (I think) song they should cover with music...

I made up my mind, ain't wasting no more time
I made up my mind, I'm falling over you

I been playing schoolboy, dishing funny schoolboy games
(Got to run and hide, he got to run and hide)
But I been to the river, seen water turn to sweet red wine
(You opened up your eyes, you opened up your eyes)

Now I throw the book at yesterday, and I got just one thing to say
Hey hey hey

I made up my mind, ain't wasting no more time
And I made up my mind, I'm falling over you
Mighta bust my world, just faking my way through
But I made up my mind, I'm falling over you

Seven busy mornings, and Noah had himself an ark
(It ain't done overnight, it ain't done overnight)
But I been working dizzy, gonna find the funky fruit by dark
(You know you did it right, he up and did it right)
Now I burn the book of yesterday, and I got just one thing to say
Hey hey hey

Chorus

Listen to me babe, my tale's a bitter, twisted, sorry tale...

Like a baby, I was a selfish thing
Your bee was buzzing, girl, and I dig the pleasure sting
My brain is buggin', My lips the first in line
Feed me your loving so fine
Hey hey hey

Chorus

I'll let someone else post the next set of lyrics, since now all I can think of are Rockapella songs
