This Might Add Some Needed Life to the Forum...
« on: June 14, 2006, 09:09:09 am »
Could we play a game? This forum has gotten quite boring. The same 15 people are always on it. This post was made partially as an experiment to see if anybody cares enough to respond. Anyway: You type a stanza from a song's lyrics. Another person replies and they find a stanza from another song that has the same first word as the last word in the previous post. Example:

(Person a types this):
Bright Eyes - At the Bottom of Everything
We must take all of the medicines too expensive now to sell
Set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell
And in the ear of every anarchist that sleeps but doesn’t dream
We must sing, we must sing, we must sing

(Person b responds):
OTEP - Possession (wow these lyrics aren't very good):
Sing to me my muses
Lost in the hot cyclops anarchy
Possession
Invention
Blood, blood
Spirits, spirits
Sprits, spirits
Calling, calling
Where will these visions lead?

(did that disturb you enough?)


Okay then. Let's start. Me first, me first!!!

Maria Taylor - One for the Shareholder
And it's an angle of the paradigm
It's a cold box of cheap red wine
It's the thought that gets lost in time
But it's all right


Your turn(s):
Why don't you come on over? Stop making a fool out of me.

A tricky one....
(last wordS ok?)

Don't need to even say who this is by......

It's Alright
And it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold onto secrets
In white houses...

What song passage is going to start with "white houses..." ?  

This game is ridiculously hard.  Seriously!

The only thing remotely related I can come up with is "Air Force Ones". :razz:

lol.

Well, I got somebody to reply, didn't I?! That was pretty much what I was trying to accomplish, the forum's been really empty the past few days. =)

To make this game easier, perhaps we could just quote our favorite song lines...or do what you suggested, although instead of having to use the last word, we can pick any word from the previous post to start a new one.  Does that make sense?

Why would it not make sense?

Sure, that'll work.

I'll go again, lol.:

Sort of violent for Bjork, but what the hell?

Hyperballad by Bjork
it's real early morning
no-one is awake
I'm back at my cliff, still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
on their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
imagine what my body would sound like
slamming against those rocks
Why don't you come on over? Stop making a fool out of me.

No offense, but I think we've discussed how difficult this game is already... Although we changed it to make it easier.
