6. Voltaire - Crusade

24. Any version of Elton John's "Your Song"

And it is AMAZING how many of those I don't know! Gosh.

-- uh. 18 had a letter missing, but I don't know that it'll make any difference. But yes, you got those two!

(Although I am surprised you didn't get #2.)

This makes me want to guess that it's ThouShaltNot and the American Gods song -- When Everyone Forgets, is it? -- but I'm not sure, as with the others, and I don't have it with me and it's been a long while since I've heard it, since I've had my Said the Gramophone playlist running for the last week and a half or so. Not counting the half week I've been gone from my computer, so.

Nope. Fair guess, though. Said the Gramophone?

tang_feed.

Aha.

14. Rufus Wainwright, 'Instant Pleasure'

20. Dar Williams, "The Pointless Yet Poignant"

Right on both counts!

3. "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" by The Postal Service
13. "I Miss You" by Blink-182
21. "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers

And...that's all I got. ;D

That's three, though! :D.

5. "Golden Years" -- David Bowie
17. "Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" -- Panic! At the Disco

Gratuitous movie quotes for the win, or something.

3. The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight.
9. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit. (Maybe not Nirvana? But.)
17. Panic! At the Disco - Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off.
18. Poe - Walk the Walk.
21. The Killers - Mr Brightside.
25. AHHH. Mandy Moore - In My Pocket? <3

Way to clean my list out, man. *amused*

I do it with a lot of music memes. *facepalms*

Heh. ♥

9: Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
13: Blink 182 - I Miss You
18: Poe - Walk the Walk

Right? Right?

Right on all three counts!

People have already guessed the songs that I know (aka 13 and 21). And I KNOW I've heard 10 but I cannot remember who did or the name of the song. Woe.

Heh. It's a good song!

7. Meat Loaf - Paradise by the Dashboard Light

That's it!
