Subject: Lyrics Quiz,my first for the messageboards(DONE)

Written By: ChuckyG on 07/03/02 at 12:27 a.m.

I may or may not be writing a trivia book of my own.. still doing what I consider the bare minimum research (gathering songs and stuff).. and trying to nail down what I want it to contain, but I figured I'd do a quick lyrics quiz just to start getting in the swing of things..

these are all from the chorus of songs, or the line directly proceeding or following it.. they're repeated a lot in the song, let's put it that way.. I picked somewhat hard songs though, so it won't be that easy.. number 8 will probably be the hardest of the lot.. and yes, it charted in Billboard.. (9 didn't, but I bet it gets picked off quickly)

1. I tried to laugh about it, covering the tears in my eyes
Screwball54 The Cure - Boys Don't Cry

2. Just keep going your way, looking over your shoulder
Gambo Look Sharp - Joe Jackson

3. She get's confused, flying over the dateline
Gambo X - Los Angelos

4. So play me the song, That makes it so tough  
cornboy98 Squeeze, "Another Nail in My Heart"

5. Fate, up against your will, through the thick and thin
Chris The Killing Moon - Echo & the Bunnymen

6. And the world and the world, The world turns around
Chris She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult

7. My world is your world, People like to hear their names
J.C Love and Rockets, "No New Tale To Tell"
   
8. We live underneath the bomb
Goreripper Underworld - Underneath the Radar

9. I am the son and the heir, of nothing in particular
Chris Smiths. "How Soon Is Now?"

10. You don't give me love, You give me cold hands
Chris Pale Shelter - Tears For Fears

Hey Chucky,

Last year I actually made my own 80s lyrics game.  I've called it Lyrication.  Each card has 3 lines from the same song.  The fewer lines from the song you need, the more points you get.  I think I have about 2000 cards or so.  I've made the box fluorescent green and cut out pictures of 80s artists and bands and attached them all over the box.

I thought about doing a card set like that too.. I think my current idea is going to be a line from the song, and then hints about the song/singer, with the last question a scrambled version of the song name and artist.. with a nice index at the back, so if you want some trivia about a song/artist you can just look for the number.. I've been thinking of trying to do every song from the billboard charts, with maybe another thousand or so that didn't make the charts, but are still memorable for whatever reason.. I may scale that down though, since some obscure groups are still hard to find anything about online or elsewhere
