Ooopsy. And quiz time.
First of all, a big apology to all the lovely people who commented on my recent blogs. Comment moderation was turned on and I didn't realise. So there were comments waiting to be moderated. So I just assumed there were no comments and no-one loved me. So a big thank you to all the lovely people who commented and made me feel loved :-)
Secondly, anyone remember the song meme? Well I have a good excuse for dusting it off and having another bash at it; I've finally got round to putting all my CD singles on the computer. There are more than a hundred of them now, and I'm going to have to start thinking about sensible cataloguing options and storage solutions. Or stop now before I turn into an obsessed collecting type.
So all the first lines you're about to read are from the A sides of singles in my collection. The idea is to guess them without cheating and using Google. I pretty much followed the rules and gave you the first 22* that played on shuffle, but I removed the songs where the first line is the title as that makes it a bit easy. Answers in a few days once you've all had your guesses**, and enjoy!
1 There's no sign on the gate, and there's mud on your face.
2 Oh we were born within an hour of each other.
3 Me no bubblitious, me smoke heavy tar, me be groovin' slowly where you are.
4 Oh well you had to fit but you're fit to drop, open up the window and jump into the blue.
5 And the women tug their hair like they're trying to prove it won't fall out.
6 I've watched the stars fall silent from your eyes.
7 Life is hard and so am I, you'd better give me something so I don't die.
8 I wrote this song two hours before we met.
9 So at my show on Monday I was hoping someday you'd be on your way to better things
10 The world is full of fools who never get it right.
11 I thought I saw a man brought to life.
12 I know a freaky young lady name of no-shame katie, she makes my temperature freeze
13 She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
14 She said there's something in the woodshed
15 Come and hold my hand, I want to contact the living.
16 Hey... what did you hear me say? You know the difference it makes.
17 Slip inside the eye of your mind
18 An old man turned ninety-eight, he won the lottery and died the next day.
19 Think of you in pipe and slippers, think of her in bed
20 Me with the floorshow kickin' with your torso
21 All this talk of getting old, it's getting my down my love
22 I met him in a crowded room where people go to drink away their gloom.
*There are meant to be 20. I got carried away.
**Note to Sam: give everyone else a chance first! You have the advantage of knowing what singles I own.

19. Don't Marry Her- The Beautiful South.
I could do others, I just wanted to get that one in :)
#2 is Pulp, Disco 2000
#14 is The Divine Comedy with ummm, err... hang on... buggrit I can't remember.
#18 Alanis Morisette - Ironic
2 is Disco2000 by Pulp
3 is Kids by Robbie
5 is Rotterdam by the Beautiful South (Bank)
8 is Something Changed by Pulp
12 is South of the Border by Robbie, and it's only "no-shame" in the single version. The album version is "cocaine"
17 is Don't Look Back in Anger by Oasis
18 is the stupid song about non-ironic things by Alanis Morisette, but I can't remember the title. Half a mark?
20 is RockDJ by the robster (you've got more Rob singles than I have, dude)
22 is Charmless Man by Blur
I do indeed have quite a lot of Robbie singles. 28, in fact. *embarrassed*
I'm just glad Will Young didn't come up on shuffle so no-one needs know I own any.
I recognised #7, but wasn't able to actually name it without googling.... so I'll not say anything.
