Of Returning Kings...

[hantsbear]

Having seen Peter Jackson on news footage of the BAFTA awards, I say sod Gimli, give me Mr. Jackson, a vat of warm chocolate and a selection of rubberwear...

And now back to your usual programming.

Stolen from quirkypandacub benpanced, et. al.



1. Your favorite song with the name of a city in the title or text.
"Top of the City" - Kate Bush - mentions New York.
2. A song you've listened to repeatedly when you were depressed at some point in your life.
"Over and Over" - Fleetwood Mac.
3. Ever bought an entire album just for one song and winded up disliking everything but that song? Gimme that song.
"Erase and Rewind" - The Cardigans. It's not that I dislike the album "Gran Turismo"; that track is the only track that, like, moves me.
4. A song whose lyrics you thought you knew in the past, but about which you later learned you were incorrect.
"Super Trouper" - ABBA ("I was sick and tired of everything, when I called you last night from Tesco's"!)
5. Your least favorite song on one of your favorite albums of all time.
"I'm A Marionette" - ABBA (The Album).
6. A song you like by someone you find physically unattractive or otherwise repellent.
"It's My Life" by Talk Talk - I just find the lead singer only slightly more attractive that a wet weekend in Bognor Regis.
7. Your favorite song that has expletives in it that's not by Liz Phair.
"You Oughta Know" - Alanis Morrisette.
8. A song that sounds as if it's by someone British but isn't.
"Someone Somewhere" - The Wannadies.
9. A song you like (possibly from your past) that took you forever to finally locate a copy of.
"Standing at the Gates" - Gerry Rafferty.
10. A song that reminds you of spring but doesn't mention spring at all.
"You're the Storm" - The Cardigans.
11. A song that sounds to you like being happy feels.
"Wonderous Stories" - Yes.
12. Your favorite song from a non-soundtrack compilation album.
"Hocus Pocus" - Focus.
13. A song from your past that would be considered politically incorrect now (and possibly was then).
Hmmmmm... pass.
14. A song sung by an overweight person.
Does me singing "Baker Street" at a karaoke evening count?
15. A song you actually like by an artist you otherwise hate.
"Friday, I'm In Love" - The Cure, although hate is way too strong a verb.
16. A song by a band (whose members actually play instruments) that features three or more female members.
"We Got The Beat" - The Go-Go's.
17. One of the earliest songs that you can remember listening to.
"The Mighty Quinn" by Manfred Mann.
18. A song you've been mocked by friends for liking.
Everything by ABBA when I was at school.
19. A really good cover version you think no one else has heard.
"Big Yellow Taxi" by Maire Brennan.
20. A song that has helped cheer you up (or empowered you somehow) after a breakup or otherwise difficult situation.
"To Be Free" - Mike Oldfield.
Extra tracks, if you have more room:
21. A song you've listened to while fucking/masturbating.
"Strict Machine" - Goldfrapp.
22. A song not in English, preferably a foreign-language version of an English-language hit.
"Klinga Mina Klockor" - Benny Andersson.
