Subject: Random vinyl lyrics quiz - DONE!

Written By: maddog167 on 01/07/04 at 03:22 a.m.

How to generate a random lyrics quiz? Well, I just took down my old box of vinyl records from the top of the wardrobe and took songs from the first 20 records I found. It's genuinely random so some of them are a bit obscure....

Limit 4 for now.

1. I`m really close tonight and I feel like I`m moving inside her
Lesley - Fall At Your Feet - Crowded House (Woodface)

2. When you lay your hands upon me
Criz - Blue Monday - New Order (12")

3. She knows music I know music too, you see
mandamoo - Rosalie/Cowgirl Song - Thin Lizzy (Greatest Hits)

4. Can you hear me you peers and privy councillors
Lesley - Seven Seas Of Rhye - Queen (Live At Wembley 1986)

5. Take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
onaree - Roam - B52s (Cosmic Thing)

6. But now I’ve powers o’er a woman’s body, yes
Lanie - The Sensual World - Kate Bush (The Sensual World)

7. Why go to college, why go to night school?
My Name Is Kenny - Life During Wartime - Talking Heads (Fear Of Music)

8. This is a public service announcement, with guitar
jaytee - Know Your Rights - The Clash (Combat Rock)

9. A blue green hood, it looked quite good
Paul UK - The Gnome - Pink Floyd (Piper At The Gates Of Dawn)

10. He’d be the voice of doom, he said that we would thank him later
Lesley - Running In The Family - Level 42 (Running In The Family)

11. Good enough to hire not good enough to marry
Lanie - The Valley Road - Bruce Hornsby & The Range (The Valley Road)

12. The world’s in trouble there’s no communication
My Name Is Kenny - Bad Reputation - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts (Bad Reputation)

13. But now there’s nowhere to hide since you pushed my love aside
karen - Hopelessly Devoted To You - Olivia Newton-John (Grease soundtrack)

14. I’ve been too long lonely and my heart feels pain, crying out for some soothing rain
Lanie - Water Of Love - Dire Straits (Dire Straits)

15. So if you want it to get stronger you’d better not let go
Lanie - Hang On To Your Love - Sade (Diamond Life)

16. I am the chosen I’m the one
My Name Is Kenny - Are You Gonna Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz (Are You Gonna Go My Way)

17. He is looking out the window at somebody coming in
Paul UK - Tom's Diner - Suzanne Vega (Solitude Standing)

18. When you’re gone I like to try on all your clothes
Lesley - In Your Room - The Bangles (Everything)

19. I always flirt with death, I could kill but I don't care about it
Madison - Another Girl, Another Planet - The Only Ones

20. People laugh when I ride past on our Alsatian dog
Paul UK - Rochdale Cowboy - Mike Harding (One Man Show)

I've made a prediction in a sealed envelope as to the person who will correctly answer #20 ;)

I did like the remix but my old vinyl album is the original. I saw Suzanne Vega perform live at the Manchester Apollo in the late 80s when she didn't exactly endear herself to the crowd by coming on and saying "Good Evening Liverpool!".

May well do the same myself...'bout time I did something on here!

And now, the answer you've all been waiting for...

#20. Reunited - Peaches & Herb

Heh! No...actually, maddog's got me again in two consecutive quizzes - I somehow thought it may have been a Bonzo Dog Band/Viv Stanshall effort, but I'm going in the wrong direction there, I'll bet...

So, maddog - keep that envelope sealed, or part with another clue...it's annoying me now!

Thanks to a very timely piece of divine inspiration (or downright cheating, take your pick!) I give you...

#20. (Take 2!) Rochdale Cowboy - Mike Harding

Very rarely heard these days - I don't think I've even got a copy! - but I do remember his appearance on TOTP for some reason (but can't be certain if he was riding on an Alsatian or not!)

'Oh, it's hard bein' a cowboy in Rochdale...'

That's a good spot mandamoo ;)

I have this on a Thin Lizzy greatest hits LP, it's a recording from a live concert and it's just great. Sounds like they were a fantastic live band but unfortunately I never saw them. On the live recording it's sort of a medley with another Thin Lizzy song (Cowgirl Song).
