awww hall naw. No you DINT! That's the almighty Tenacious D fighting for KG's precious... against Dave Grohl, the devil. Or at least the song playing during the credits "The METAL"! RAWK!
you right. Its Brian Posehn. "Weedle-a, weedle-a, weedle-a, weedle-a, weedle-a, weedle-a, weedle-a. What do ya think of that?"
"You. You're the news."
You see him interviewing Dethklok on the AVClub?
**EDIT**Heres a link to interview.
Actually, it's "Barrel of a Gun", but you got the band right. ;}
Dont tell anybody, but the stuff I have of theirs is burned from a friend of mine with no track titles or anything. Gotta go buy them though, I like 'em.
PS: Im clueless on the others you got, Mr Shiny. The celtic one Im 90% sure its not the Bosstones--it has to be the Dropkick Murphys, but Im blanking out on the title. And the others are not in my library...at least I dont think so ;)
here's an old school tune. Inspired by the wording in Mr Shiny's tune on the previous page, though they were around waaaaaay longer than anybody (except the Ramones)-
Hey Mr. Diplomat with your worldly aspirations,
Did you see the children cry when you left them at the station?
Hey moral soldier you've got righteous proclamation,
And precious tomes to fuel your pulpy conflagrations.
We are building a religion, we are making a brand.
We're the only ones to turn to when your castles turn to sand.
Take a bite of this apple, Mr. Corporate Invents.
Take a walk through the jungle of cardboard shanties and tents.
Some people drink Pepsi, some people drink Coke,
The wacky morning DJ says democracy's a joke,
He says "do you believe in the one true song?
We're now accepting callers who would like to sing along."
"Do you believe in the one true edge,
Fastening your safety belts and stepping towards the ledge?"
He is handling the money, he is serving the food.
He knows about your party, he is calling you "dude".
We are building a religion...
We are building it bigger...They are living Comfort Eagle. They have it and eat it, too.
Cake! duh. I was making my previous post and the light bulb goes off...Dont know title of song though. Was there a video for the song? "Sheep go to heaven"?

"Fields of Athenry" by -you guessed it- the Dropkick Murphys.
Kind of a niche band, I guess, maybe too obscure, but we'll see...
Dry your eyes
And quietly bear this pain with pride
For Heaven shall remember the silent and the brave
And promise me
They will never see the fear within our eyes
We will give strength to those who still remain
So bury fear
For fate draws near
And hide the signs of pain
With noble acts
The bravest souls
Endure the heart's remains
Discard regret
That in this debt
A better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember
And avoid our fate

"Comfort Eagle" by Cake.
That was a great lyric - it is one of those that I wish I had seen before. Kudos!
As for the lyrics to "Born in the USA" - the funniest thing about them is that Ronald Reagan, of all people, wanted to use it as the theme music for his 1984 reelection campaign. Bruce just shook his head and asked if he had any idea of what the lyrics were about. Obviously, the Gipper didn't.
No one has even guessed on mine yet? Difficult? :P
All the one's I recognize here are answered too quickly. XD

OOOH! Oooh! I know that one... I think. Bad Religion's..., um,... is it "The empire strikes first?"
Where a man is a man and the children dance to the pipes of pan
Hey! I just saw this one from Halloweenie time.
Its a 18 inch tall model of "Stonehenge"!
And Vattnisse, it s their classic "I want to Conquer the World". I remember it playing on USA's "Up All Night" with Rhonda Shear (and 'the girls') waaaaaay long time ago.
Dont know Shadowcat's or MaxSlasher's. Sound like a Rhapsody/Sentenced/Blind Guardian/Symphony X/Luca Turilli type western Europe metal prog rock band, but I am stumpified. On my 6th Rolling Rock and sitting in front of a PC, but still jamming out!
here's one last song. kinda obscure, but one of my all time favs. not by someone you would think of right off.
Time rolls on
and that's as it should be
Here and gone
Seems to move so quickly
Man, we was happy
In our restless hearts
It was heaven
right here on earth
Yeah, we were laughin'
As we reached for the stars
And we had some
For what it was worth...
gnite all y'all. thanks for listening.
keep one foot on the ground one fist in the gold?!?!? cant remember rikki rachtman's signoff words...dam, too much drink.
First I thought yours was Metallica's "The thing that should not be", but that's not it. Following your clue, I'd say it's a Dream Theater song, but I have no idea which one it is.No one has even guessed on mine yet? Difficult? :P
All the one's I recognize here are answered too quickly. XD
The Thing That Should Not Be is one of my favorite Metallica songs, but you were correct to think that it is Dream Theater.
The only question remaining is what song it is.

Same happened with John "Cougar" Mellencamp's Little Pink Houses. They wanted to use it for an election because of the hook, "Ain't that America... home of the free, yeah... little pink houses for you and me." John was equally mystified that they weren't getting his underlying meaning.
I'm gonna post another cuz I'm bored. If it takes too long, I'll just give out the answer to my last one.
One form of pleasure that he got
was inserting 27 needles of various sizes,
shoved up into his pelvic region.
This was just one of his many forms of incredibly masochistic behavior.
Twenty.
Seven.
Needles.
Hope that's not too creepy! Yeesh. Awesome song though. Should be easier...possibly.
Why do I get the feeling that Shiny or Dirk Gently would know this one?

Actually, no. Anyway, here's one of my all-time favorites:
I declare war on the world.
War in outer space.
I declare war in a nutshell.
War all over the place.
I declare war on every government.
War against all odds.
I declare war on your inner sanctum.
On your bloodthirsty gods
Be all that you can be.
Mr Shiny's got something that ends with an M, begins with a K
KMFDM sings (or shouts) "World War Three! Be all that you can be!" Bomb everything...or something close to that as a sample...
You ever listen to any of the band WWIII stuff? Mandy Lion growling/roaring. Pretty cool industrial metal.
so how about-
Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear
How years ago in days of old when magic filled the air
'twas in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair
but Gollum, the evil one, crept up and slipped away with her
|

And a sorta classic song by a classic band:
I plot your rubric scarab, I steal your satellite
I want your wife to be my baby tonight
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
You are mine for the takingHey, who am I kidding? This is a great song!
No takers on this one? It is kinda obscure...
I plot your rubric scarab, I steal your satellite
I want your wife to be my baby tonight
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
Your mine for the taking
I'm making a career of evil
Pay me I'll be your surgeon, I'd like to pick your brains
Capture you, Inject you, leave you kneeling in the rain
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
Your mine for the taking
I'm making a career of evil
I'd like your blue eyed horseshoe, I'd like your emerald horny toad
I'd like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road
And then I'd spend your ransom money, but still I'd keep your sheep
I'd peel the mask your wearing, and then rob you of your sleep
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
Your mine for the taking
I'm making a career of evil

How about this one?
I was feeling sick I was loosing my mind I heard about these treatments
From a good friend of mine he was always happy smile on his face
He said he had a great time at the place
Peace and love is here to stay and now I can wake up and face the day
Happy happy happy all the time shock treatment, I'm doing fine
Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment. Ramones.
Although not a sniffer of glue, I rather enjoy thier song Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue, and I'm a singalong sucker for I Wanna Be Sedated along with another ten or so of their songs.
"Pet Sematary", too. And Joey's rendering of "What a Wonderful World".
my last entry was Diamond David Lee Roth's "Damn Good" from Skyscraper.
hey, here's a pretty obscure one, I think.
Hello, boys and girls. This is your old pal, Stinky Weaselteats.
This is a song about a whale. No! This is a song about being...
then the title is sung over and over. Then
I don't think you're ... enough! That's right! I'll teach you to
be ...! I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs! Now, boys and
girls, let's try it again!

The Dark Eternal Night.....can't remember which album it was on though.

Isn't this Ren and Stimpy singing "Happy happy joy joy"? Thanks - I'm not getting this one outta my head for the rest of the night...

You are correct. And the album is Systematic Chaos.

I should have lis-tened to her.
So hard to keep con-trol.
We kept on eat-ing but our bloat-ed bel-ly's still not full.
She gave us all all she had but
We went and took some more
Can't seem to shut her legs,
Our mo-ther na-ture is a whore.
Hyp-no-tic sound of si-rens
Ech-o-ing through the street.
The c0ck-ing of the ri-fles,
The mar-ching of the feet.
You see your world on fire,
Don't try to act sur-prised.
We did just what you told us,
Lost our faith along the way and found ourselves believing your lies.
If you need a (big) hint:
I got my propaganda, I got re-vis-ionism.
I got my vi-o-lence and hi-def ultra-re-a-lism.
All a part of this great na-tion.
I got my fist, I got my brain, I got sur-vi-va-lism.
I don't know the previous sets of lyrics, but here's a few to guesseroo:
There was a woman he knew
About a year or so ago.
She had something that he needed
And he pleaded with her not to go.
On the day that she left,
He died, but it did not show.
Know when you see him,
Nothing can free him.
Step aside, open wide
fudge! I knew I knew Mr Shiny's song...but I looked at the spoiler and now Im kicking myself for not waiting a little bit longer.
Survivalism by NIN from the Year Zero 'soundtrack'. Did you follow any of the website clues? It was like the "Lost" thing a couple seasons ago with the Dharma Project putting fake commercials in the broadcast and then advertising different websites. I poked around a little, but pulled myself out of there before I started obsessing. Cool, creepy vid too.
The other one Im clueless about. Jade's too. Jade, is yours a Guided by Voices track?
Gaaaah! Ill prolly kick myself for missing them too.
How about this little ditty:
You, you dont go in the bathroom with me
Psycho 78
12 oclock, dont be late
The lyrics that I gently hung were penned by old man kneeling young.
Does Lisa Stevens have a read, or will you all kindly concede?
CEO

yepyep, Lisa. You got it. now post one of yer own!
OK, here is one of my favorite set of lyrics. I used to think about these whenever times got tough. And I'll be shocked if anybody gets the song, even though it is a major artist.
"My karma tells me, you've been screwed again. If you let them do it to you, you got yourself to blame. It's you who feels the pain. It's you who takes the shame."
-Lisa

Too obscure I guess. If you've ever been to DragonCon you've heard them. This is The Cruxshadows, a relatively minor dance/goth/rock/pop/techno band out of Florida, but from what I understand they are very big in Europe.
OK, here's one from the 80's, straight up hard rock.
I've seen everything imaginable
Pass before these eyes
I've had everything that's tangible
Honey, you'd be surprised
I'm a sexual innuendo in this burned out paradise
If you turn me on to anything
You better turn me on tonight
All I ever wanted was for you to know that I care...
Rocket Queen by the Gunners. When they were still raw.
All I ever wanted was for you to know that I care...

You are an encyclopedic rocker.
Thanks Jade. I love most music and working in a library with teens keeps me sharp on different things. There's a buncha skaters trying to get me into bands like Job for a Cowboy, Rise Against, and some other screamo bands. Havent youtubed them much...yet. My friend in Florida knew I was into MSI and is suggesting a local band down there called Maggot T**t, which he played some of their stuff for me last time we got together. Genuinely freaky stuff. Then theres just stuff I find by accident. Bands like Trashcan Sinatras, Neighborhood Texture Jam, and that cool band that sings "The General" (blanking on them right now).**EDIT** It's Dispatch!** And, thanks to these boards, Ive found Ghostland Observatory and Pendulum. Love all these new finds...well, new to me. Trying to find a way to work Tigerlillies into the word game thread. You ever hear their Ed Gorey-like "A B C" song? They arent really rockers, but are interesting. Lyrics:
A is for Arsenic someone thought fun
To include in the icing on top of a bun.
B is for bats that swoop out of the air
And squeaking inaudibly catch in one's hair.
C is for cord of a moderate length,
To hang oneself from it requires no great strength.
Anyway, as my profile pages says, I un-ironically LOVE most of the 80s hardrock/metal!
No takers on my last try?
It's Danzig and the Misifts talking about "Horror Business"!
Still dont know Mr Shinys other one, or Lisa's, or Jade's. But here's something I think you'll really like.
It was starting to rain
On the night that they first decided
It was blinding with snow
On the night that they ran away
They were found in the dark
But they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door
She was meant to be wild
He was nearly a child
But they only could feel each other
They were paper and fire
Angel and liar
The devil of one another

Dirty Jobs I think is the name of the song. I think that's the Who?

Aw man, I shoulda got the hint in the poem you did. Still, that guy has put out too much stuff for me to keep up with like I should. Him n Bowie n Prince n Sly Stone are juggernauts!
