request a drabble

[spankerella]

New guesssing for fiction. Twenty song lyrics. Tell me the title and the artist. One point for each right part. Most points gets a fic. Googling is cheating. Comments are screened until the answers are revealed. Happy guessing.

CLOSED... answers now posted.

*

1. Whatever happens/ I'll leave it all to chance/ Another heartache/ Another failed romance
- Queen "The Show Must Go On" (I DID NOT accpet Moulin Rouge as the artist. I love that movie, I do, but seeing that listed as the artist offended my senses. It's Queen, dammit! Queen!)

2. And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave/ Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I have made
- Blue October "Hate Me"

3.When I get to be in your arms/ When we're all all alone/ When you whisper sweet in my ear/ When you turn, turn me on
- KC and the Sunshine Band "That's the Way (I like It)"

4. Dead I am the dog/ hound of hell you cry/ Devil on your back/ I can never die
- Rob Zombie "Dragula"

5. You think I'm a genius/ Think I'm cool/ I'm starting to think that young guys rule
- Liz Phair "Rock Me"

6. My love is the evening breeze touching your skin/ The gentle sweet singing of leaves in the wind
- Heart "Crazy on You"

7. I'm so tired/ Of my mood/ And sleep comes/ With a knife, fork and a spoon
- Love Spit Love "Am I Wrong" (I accepted Brand New as the artist, even though I have not heard that version.)

8. But that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize/ Cos I can't even look in your eyes without shaking,/ and I ain't faking/ I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon
- Weezer "El Scorcho"

9. I had to escape/ The city was sticky and cruel/ Maybe I should have called you first/ But I was dying to get to you
- Cyndi Lauper "I Drove All Night" (I accepted Roy Orbison as the artist too.)

10. I know what you're thinking about/ That you must have some doubts/ I know what you're thinking when you find out I want you around
- the Ramones "I Want You Around"

11. All I want is to see you smile/ If it takes just a little while/ I know you don't believe that it's true/ I never meant any harm to you
- Fleetwod Mac "Don't Stop"

12. What's the hook, the twist/ Within this verbose mystery?/ I would gladly bet my life upon it.
- AFI "Miss Murder"

13. The streetlights outside my window surrender to the dawn/ A million reasons I should sleep but I can't think of one
- the Fags "Ms. Take"

14. Are you gonna live your life standing in the back looking around?/ Are you gonna waste your time?/ Gotta make a move or you'll miss out
- Jimmy Eat World "A Praise Chorus"

15. Slowly now we begin to move/ Every breath I'm deeper into you
- Madonna "Crazy for You"

16. I try so hard not to get upset / Because I know all the trouble I'll get/ Oh, he tells me tears are something to hide/ And something to fear
- Til Tuesday "Voices Carry" (I owuld have also accepted Vitamin C as the artist.)

17. So pull on your hair/ Pull on your pout/ Cut the conversation/ Just open your mouth
- the Cure "Fascination Street"

18. Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love/ Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up
- Def Leppard "Pour Some Sugar on Me"

19. You've torn your dress/ your face is a mess/ You can't get enough/ but enough ain't the test
- David Bowie "Rebel Rebel"

20. We went to Sears for pictures at Christmas time/ But they wouldnt let us make the metal sign/ No they wouldn't let us make the metal sign
- Nerf Herder "Pantera Fans in Love"

*

AGAIN... Googling is CHEATING.

But everybody who wants one until I close this round of guessing gets a drabble, so if you'd like that, please leave me a comment including a fandom, a character, and one prompt word

CLOSED NOW Sorry. I may open up for drabbles again once I get these finished. We'll see.

[ficklevillain.livejournal.com]

[spankerella.livejournal.com]

19. Good show.

[daethnight.livejournal.com]

4. rob zombie - dragula
14. jimmy eat world - bleed american

p.s. I was just rereading all of your fic on tth and I have to say thank you for writing so many amzing and entertaining things. I love your version of Draco in so many of your stories.

[spankerella.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Ah, Draco is near and dear to my heart, the little sh*t.

I only know 2

[tigereyes320.livejournal.com]

1 - Moulin Rouge Nicole Kidman The show must go on
15 - Crazy for you by Madonna

I totally suck at this sort of thing. The only one that even seems familiar is #15. I remember staying up past my bedtime every night when I was in junior high or high school to hear it on my local station's "Top 9 at 9", listening in the dark, with the volume turned down low. I think it is probably Madonna, and that it was the romance theme in "Top Gun", but I am drawing a blank on the title.

On the other hand, I would love to find out the artist and title for #3, #4, #6, #7, and #12. Those lyrics are either interesting in themselves, or give me some reason to think I'll like the rest of the song. So if you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you let me know, or post the answers for everyone to see.

Since I did so awfully at the lyrics challenge, I would not expect even a drabble, but if you are so inclined, how about: Fandom: Harry Potter, Character: Draco, Prompt: Asparagus.

[spankerella.livejournal.com]

It was the love theme froma little movie called "Vision Quest". Matthew Modine. Wrestling. Not a terrible film all in all.

The answers are all posted now.

[emeraldswan.livejournal.com]

Am not doing this for fic. Am doing 'cause it's fun. The only ones I've got anyway are the ones that *instantly* popped into my head when I read them. Ya know, so I didn't have to think too hard. :P


1. Whatever happens/ I'll leave it all to chance/ Another heartache/ Another failed romance I think that's Queen. Am not positive. Maybe The Show Must Go On?

4. Dead I am the dog/ hound of hell you cry/ Devil on your back/ I can never die. Dragula, Rob Zombie. And now I'll have it in my head for *days*. . .

You think I'm a genius/ Think I'm cool/ I'm starting to think that young guys rule Liz Phair, Rock Me. Excellent song. :D

19. You've torn your dress/ your face is a mess/ You can't get enough/ but enough ain't the test Okay, I stand corrected. I'll have *this* song stuck in my head for days. Rebel Rebel, David Bowie

You've got your mother in a whirl/she's not sure if you're a boy or a girl! See? In my head. At least it's not the theme song from Dora the Explorer again, though. ::shudder::

#7 is Am i wrong by Love Spit Love (incidentally, it is one of my wedding songs! ;))

#15 Crazy for you - Madonna

#2 Blue October - Hate Me

#19 Rebel Rebel - Bowie (my favourite singer EVAH! saw him in concert when pregnant with Bennett and now Ben likes him too! ;))

#17 Fascination Street by the Cure - not my favourite song of theirs... but still good.

#12 AFi - Miss Murder -- the mtv video awards MADE me download this song...


9 is really really familier... but I can't think of it. *shakes fist*

Okay... so I didn't know as many as I thought I would. The rest stump me and I'll probably facepalm when you do a reveal! ;)

1 is Queen? And something off the Innuendo album, but not Innuendo or Slightly Mad. Dammit.

I'm fairly sure 9 is "I Drove All Night" which I remember as being mainly done by Roy Orbison, though I first heard it by someone else who I'm desperately trying to remember. Cyndi Lauper?

15 is Madonna. Crazy For You?
