yendiIt's been a few months. You know the drill. I'll hit iTunes on random and list lyrics. You'll list titles and artists. Guess one (and only one) song/artist (second chance if someone beats you to it or I tell you that you're wrong). Or you won't. Usual warning: my tastes are eclectic, and I didn't try to balance for genre or era (although I did remove duplicate artists). As a courtesy, I did not include the Hebrew version of the Tiny Toons theme song and Patton Oswalt's routine about watching a man shave his balls. I'll update as folks get answers correct (with the warning that I'm heading out of work in forty minutes, and will be offline for an hour or two after that).
1. This music ain't your fucking industry.
2. Get on the good foot, keep it on top.
3. She'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China -- Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
allah_sulu)
4. 'cause if you picture the wrong kind, you know you'll be turnin' blind.
5. Replaceable, disposable, fully action-posable.
6. I ran away with the bottle of wine (dustyskinandall has the artist, but no one has said the song).
7. Sit back and let the evening go. -- -- Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles (xiphias).
8. Please, please don't insist.
9. There's nothing grander than the big surprise
10. I hate your polyester pant-suits and your greasy hair. #10: Billy and the Boingers, "U Suck But I Love You" (modpixie for the band, philrancid for the song title)
11. Where is the questioning? Where is the protest song?
12. Don't call the cavalry; there's a better remedy.
13. Now first it wasn't easy, changing rock and roll and minds. -- "Play That Funky Music (White Boy)", Wild Cherry (feste_sylvain)
14. Stars appear and shadows are falling. - "Oh Boy", Buddy Holly (allah_sulu's wife)
15. I've been working all my life. Can't afford to wait.
16. Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up.
17. My cable gets C-SPAN, TV-Land, and HBO. -- #17 Couch Potato by Weird Al (evilmike)
18. Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens. -- Iggy Pop, Lust for Life (ewin)
19. You throw in twenty dollars and sing "Wearing of the Green." "Each Dollar A Bullet", by Stiff Little Fingers (endora).
20. I'm underwater in overdrive.
