Merry little voices clear and strong!

Meme seen on letsgokomets journal that looked like fun!

Put your iPod on shuffle (I don't have an iPod, and iTunes is of THE DEVIL, but I'll use my music player) press play, and the next button. Write the first line of lyrics in the first ten songs to create your poem. Don't lie, the poems actually come out pretty cool...


All the small things
In every heart there is a room
Drink with me to days gone by
Love power, a little love power
Steady as the beating drum
Whatever happened to Saturday night?
I'm counting back the number of the steps
I made it through the wilderness
You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Sit around and watch the tube but nothing's on

And it did come out cool!

Full disclosure: I skipped songs with no lyrics and one track that was from a spoken comedy album (and one song that I've never heard before, and have no idea how it got on my computer, but that totally doesn't count.) Can anyone guess the songs I ended up with? This can be like a bonus quote game, lol.


Answer to last Monday's song: We Can't Stop, by Miley Cyrus. DON'T JUDGE ME.

I know that the third line is Drink with Me from Les Mis. The sixth line is from Rocky Horror Picture Show - that line is the same as the song title.

That's about it for me at the momment.

You're always so good at the song guessing!

It is Drink With Me, and the other one is Meatloaf's song from Rocky Horror.

I actually had a lot of fun making this poem; I think I might do another one.

Blink 182 - I think it's actually called all the small things...
And so it Goes - Billy Joel, I think
Already guessed
No idea
I feel like this is Pocahontas but have no actual evidence to back this up
Already guessed
No idea
Like a Virgin - Madonna
No idea
No idea.

This did turn out cool! I may try this....hm....

It is called All The Small Things! It's a lot harder to be clever with the lyrics when you're just going with the first line. :)

So It Goes is right, as is Like A Virgin, and that song is from Pocahontas (and it's called Steady As the Beating Drum).

However, I feel like you should know number seven...

Holy shit! How did I miss that!!?!?! It's the Dresden Dolls! Alcoholic Friends! As soon as you said that I should know it, it clicked with the melody. Without the melody, I'm lost on all these songs.

Yeah, I think that's the toughest part of song lyrics without context; the music part is so integrated in a lot of them!

TBH, I don't even know the lyrics to that Dresden Dolls song, but it's on my computer so it came up. :) Andrew knows it by heart, lol.

Not really :) Mostly with the ones from musicals.

I think I'm going to give this a shot...
