Lyrics Meme, gakked from nostalgia_lj

[dlgood]

On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down a line of the song.

Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then have your friends comment and see if they know the songs!

Whoever gets them first and its correct I'll place the title & artist along with the persons name who guessed it. And no cheating searching the lyrics online! Screened to avoid hints.

And this week's Nip/Tuck had a line of dialogue I've been savoring all day:

Christian: "Sean, you're so moralistic that if Anne Frank were living in your attic, she wouldn't have gotten past 'Dear Diary'".

I'm not ashamed of knowing that song. Jack Wagner comes up in quizbowl all the time, because he played golf at ASU and almost made the PGA Tour.

Knowledge whore. I like that. It's way better than saying, "well, I used to watch General Hospital" which then leads to the revelation that I may possibly still know all the words to the General Hospital rap.

Rock it hard, rock it steady, pick yourself up and get yourself ready, raise your hands, I wanna hear you yell, we're gonna rap about General Hospital. *cough*

As noted, I used to play the competetive quizbowl. We have our own lexicon and "knowledge whore" is definitely one of the terms. (I.e., people who have no shame over what they know, when they can win a contest)

But I don't know the GH rap. OTOH, I still distinctly remember SNL's "We Are the Kickers" parody of that "Superbowl Shuffle" football team rap knowck-off craze. (We are the Rams, We are the Oilers, etc.. was awful)
