Coyote Radio: Narcissist Round

[cyrano]

You know how this works. I play the first line of a song, and you guess the title and band. Googling is cheating and bad form.


1. I know you're home--you left your light on

featuring Gwyneth Paltrow, for satyrlovesong

2. Hey! Is this my turn? You want me to sing now?

3. I love the east, I love the west, and north and south, they're both the best

4. I know where you live, yeah. And I want to live there too.

5. Aw Shit! Getcha towels ready, it's about to go down!

for Tymen, who reminds me of T-Pain

6. I heard love can fall so hard, it can bury a kingdom

for marialuminous, who loves

7. I don't have to sell my soul--he's already in me

for the alternative scarywhitegirl

8. It's not easy having yourself a good time

9. When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around

10. I know a guy who's tough but sweet, he's the guy who can't be beat

for Lynthia

11. Get up early when the sleepin' pill wakes me

for the rightkindofme

12. I can turn a grey sky blue, I can make it rain whenever I want it to

the original for reluctantgenius

13. You can look but you can't touch--I don't think I like you much

for Lynthia on drums

14. It's amazing, the look in your eyes, like you could save me but you won't even try

15. I was totin' my pack along the dusty Winemucca road

for reluctantgenius, with lyrics

16. My story's much too sad to be told, but practically everything leaves me totally cold

for zdashamber--I couldn't find Inkspots but this is the first time I heard it.

17. Pretty soon now, you know I'm gonna make a comeback

18. I love myself, I want you to love me

To Amanda_Lodden (although technically this was the Bens)

19. To the crowd, to the world, you were so dry

20. I have climbed the highest mountain, I have run through the fields

featuring Kasey Kasem for satyrlovesong

Oooh, ooh, I know one of these! #18 is I Touch Myself

[rightkindofme.livejournal.com]

11 is Jonathon Coulton, I Feel Fantastic

[ophymirage.livejournal.com]

#8, ".. Even smiling makes my face ache." FrankNFurter, bridge out of "I'm Going Home"?

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

...Close. But it is a first line.

[satyrlovesong.livejournal.com]

#1 Melissa Ethelridge (sp?) I think it's called "I want to come over"

[satyrlovesong.livejournal.com]

Is 10 "Candy"? I don't know who sang it, but I think it's pretty old.

[satyrlovesong.livejournal.com]

20 - U2 - Still haven't found what I'm looking for

I think I'm dating myself.

[lynthia.livejournal.com]

I feel like I should know so many more of these...

10. I Want Candy, Bow Wow Wow

13. I Think I'm Paranoid, Garbage

#20 is right on the tip of my tongue, and I can't get it. Argh!

[zdashamber.livejournal.com]

I know some that other people don't know, yay! Recognized 10 as "I Want Candy" though I'd have to google to get the group. 12 I think I know, but can't bring up. 13 is "Paranoid" by Garbage. 16 is "I Get a Kick Out of You" by, hm, what version would you have? The Ink Spots? 20 is "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2.

Thanks for the entertainment!

[scarywhitegirl.livejournal.com]

Woo, I know one that hasn't been gotten already! 7 is "I Wanna Be Adored" by The Stone Roses. :)

12. I hear Anne Lenox in my head, although I'm pretty sure it's a cover. Is opening up iTunes cheating?
15. I've Been Everywhere - I hear Johnny Cash singing it in my head.

[reluctantgenius.livejournal.com]

12. Yep, it's on Medusa, which, I think, is all covers.
15. Isn't that in the previous post?

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

1. Holy crap. I should get that album then.
2. A bonus for listeners who are paying attention.

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

I hear Sean Connery singing all of them. It is my curse.
(I never should have mocked that old gypsy woman.)

[reluctantgenius.livejournal.com]

I was going to say it was The Temptations, too, after I thought about it in the bath.

[marialuminous.livejournal.com]

I was sad at first because satyrlovesong already guessed the Melissa Etheridge one, and I was going to guess that one!

But # 6 is Dar Williams, so I guess I can be content with knowing that one. I think it is called "I love", or something like that.

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Do not be sad. You can still guess, and I will still applaud your knowings.

[marialuminous.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Your applause is important to me. :)

5 is I'm on a Boat by The Lonely Island.

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised this one lasted as long as it did.

[reluctantgenius.livejournal.com]

I knew I'd heard 3. somewhere, so I cheated: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptsjZIcD-gU

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

I wasn't entirely certain there was a video for this one. I'm glad to see that there is. (:

[reluctantgenius.livejournal.com]

I was hearing Rosemary Clooney in my head, actually, but that was wrong. Of course, that necessitates:
