Name That Tune!

[Reply #40 on:]

Ahhhhhhhhh, now I know.

Edit: Dances around crazily for her second ever TOTP dance!

[Reply #41 on:]

Does that mean I have to do one?

Crap!

[Reply #42 on:]

Kryten, why'd you close the thread? These are two totally different threads.

[Reply #43 on:]

Well, they both have to do with music and if you hear it and guess it and read it and guess it, you are still guessing what it is.  Close to the same thing.

[Reply #44 on:]

The other one (name that song) had been open for ages, it just got some more posts today, mainly because of this thread I think.

[Reply #45 on:]

[Lyrics]
I got a little bit of hope,
Like a soap on a rope.
Sweeter than sour,
Gettin' thinner by the hour,
Fallin' fast,
And I'm running out of gas.
Muggin' on your sister,
Smart as Bobby Fisher.
Still I couldn't get arrested,
Though I got more hooks,
Than Madona got looks.
[/LYRICS]

Since the other one was closed, I decided to put these lyrics in here to see if anyone could guess.  Good luck!

::EDIT::  Travis isn't allowed to guess on this one.  I know that he knows it.

[Reply #46 on:]

It's something by the Barenaked Ladies.

[Reply #47 on:]

Nope. Not even close.

[Reply #48 on:]

It's Better Than Ezra... forget the song name.

[Reply #49 on:]

Great Thread idea, I would post but I dont have a microphone. I have headphones though, which Im told should work, but I cant get them to work. I also have a Macintosh speaker, which fits into my PC, but I cant get it to record onto it.

[Reply #50 on:]

You know what? I never got my turn. It's simple, but it's the best I could get. Whats the song playing in the backround?

What the hell was that?!! Was that an actual song?

[Reply #52 on:]

Yes

[Reply #53 on:]

It's the Ohio Players, doing "Love Rollercoaster". Lucky for me, I had already uh, seen that episode of Pete and Pete where it's referenced. And, I know Speli too well.

For you modern kids, the Red Hot Chili Peppers also did a recent cover of it.

[Reply #54 on:]

Do I even have to say your right? Oh wait, I just did.

Yup, it's Better Than Ezra.  Can any one guess the song?

[Reply #56 on:]

I'm unifying this thread. D_C's is "Extraordinary" by Better than Ezra. Speli's was "Love Rollercoaster" by the Ohio Players. Now, no one can complain that there were two challenges running at the same time.

And this one will be dead easy for at least one PEELer.

thank you, evan.

Thank you, Spiff. I hope you liked my favor.

And it's The Beastie Boys - Sabatoge.

The world is spinning too fast.
I'm buying lead Nike shoes
To keep myself tethered
To the days I try to lose.

[Reply #59 on:]

Ah, curses, that was the only one I actually knew, and you've beaten me to it.

Ahem, do you look lovable?  I don't think so.  Are you a little rascal? No way.  Are you a lovable rascal? heck no!

We've all seen your picture and sound file, Arch, you look like a bouncer!  I'm the lovable rascal on this board, and na-one is gonna take that away from me, ya hear?  So scram ham!

Also, have you been on peel for two years without an avatar change? I highly doubt it.  I've been waiting for something this lovable and cute for a long time.  Taboot, it was drawn by zoidberg, who was my last avatar.

[/end rant]

[Reply #63 on:]

Debunking the above claims part 1:

OK I haven't shown my picture on PEEL for a reason. I don't have any recent pictures that I'd be willing to show, and you guys are a bunch of vultures so I'd get defaced in 3 seconds   

I may not have been on PEEL for 2 years, but I reserved that avatar! You can't just take that away from me, except you just did. Plus because of this, everyone is still having to put up with the pain of me and aslate matching avatar confusion.   

Also it was drawn by Zoidberg's COUSIN Zoidfarb. So ha!

In case you can't tell, I AM taking the piss. I just like moaning and inventing conspiracy theories.

[Reply #64 on:]

I also have ties with Travis.  very sexy ties that could question both our sexuality.  So I'd say I'm one step ahead of everything you do, chump.


As for your picture, oops, musta mistaken you for someone else, or something.

Zoidbergs cousin? oh bitch bitch bitch.


Anyway, all that matters is that I have this avatar, and you don't   


but in all fairness, I'm just messing with you and trying to get you angry    Though I'm still not givin the avatar to ya

I don't think you can say that.

[Reply #66 on:]

That wasn't a good argument to bring up... but still, so long as Cupcake and Randi get together and send pics, I'm not complainin' 

JOKE JOKE JOKE... please no-one kill me.

SOME SKITTLES?!?!

[Reply #69 on:]

Well, I made another, but decided that it was way too simple, so I stopped after the 5th note, just like they did on the gameshow.  It's still very very very easy.  We'll see who types faster.

<h3>Name That Tune All Night Long!</h3>

This riff is catchy as hell...

Erm...oops

(aka, "Theme to the Simpsons" )

[Reply #73 on:]

Thank you.

[Reply #74 on:]

Yup, I definitely knew that.  I love the Simpsons.

[Reply #75 on:]

I think it was Bart who got my last one....Gorillaz's '19-2000'

Awake to the sound
as they peel apart the skin.
They pick and they pull
trying to get their fingers in.

Yeah so what I wasn't paying attention and I was  half asleep. These things happen all the time. Besides I got so goddamn tired of the Simpsons that my mind probably tries to get rid of every memory thereof.  So the answer was probably just subconscious and wishful thinking.

And at least I got to screw with your minds, willing or not.
