Just like the movie quote word we cannot say, because Gator's job gives him a hard time and we still want him to post here.
Identify the one that's up, then post your own--you know.

"The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handle"

[Jack Quinn]

Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues

"I met my baby in a used car lot
drinkin' cheap wine and throwin' rocks"

[Batman]

Is it Robert Earle Keene?

If not, clue, please.

[Batman]

No clue means I get to google it. It's Southern Culture on the Skids, "Voodoo Cadillac."

All right we need a new one.

Heres a little lyrical tribute to the sorts of stories folks are sharing in the "suds" thread:

". . . And the beer I had for breakfast
Wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled in my closet
Through my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt . . ."

Johnny Cash - "Sunday Morning, Coming Down"

"Grew a mustache and a mullet.
Got a job at Chik-Fil-A.
Citing artistic differences
The band broke up in May"

[Attitude Adjuster]

Ben Folds Five, Army (yeah! Ben Folds!)

Its fun to lose and to pretend
Shes overboard; myself assured
I know I know a dirty word

[williamssl]

Nirvana's Nevermind.

Speaking of Cobain:

Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station

[GoVols]

Californication by RHCP

Here's mine

Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam
It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand

[Batman]

Damn it, I know this one.


Got it! "Float On." Hell if I can remember the band's name. Good enough!

All my life I've been singin' sad songs
Tryin' to get my message to you, honey
But it's the only song
That I can sing
And when I get through singin'
My message will be to you . . .

[Chris Eco]

Otis Redding, Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa

Worst Lyric Ever:

And follow me as I put these crayons to chaos,
from seance to seance...

[Batman]

Exalt for knowing your Otis.

[williamssl]

And that would be some Eminem.


Well I'll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room
I spent all my money
I've been drinkin' since half past noon
Well I'll wake there in the mornin'
Or maybe in the county jail
Times are hard getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail

[Batman]

Sounds like "Story of My Life" by Social Distortion

Lets see:

"Telegraph cables, how they sing down the highway
As they travel each bend in the road
And when people meet in this romantic setting
They're so hypnotized by the lovely
Evening summer breeze
Sweet warblings of the meadowlark . . ."

Right band, wrong song.

[Batman]

Damn! Must be "Ball and Chain" then, since that's the only other song of theirs I've heard.

[williamssl]

Ding Ding Ding! Well done. Thought you'd stand a good chance of getting it right.

[Batman]

I had a feeling you were pitching me a softball.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you. This game is just harder than the Movie Quote game. Peope just have more common ground on movies than music.

So anybody going to bite on the new one? A clue: don't worry about the recording artist; it's a standard, lots of people have recorded it.

Also, I mentioned it in Jeb's "Gateway Albums" thread.

[GoVols]

Moonlight in Vermont and I definitely cheated to get that one. Lyrics soon to come.

[Batman]

Hey, I got to cheat 'cause moose didn't respond to my request for clues. What's your excuse? I gave two clues!

You googling cheater!

Also: come on and post the new challenge already!

[Batman]

OK, if Vols eventually posts some lyrics, we can have two concurrent challenges. Probably a good idea anyhow.

"Better ideas are stuck in the mud!
The motor's runnin' on Tucker's blood!
Don't let 'em tell you the future's electric!
'Cause gasoline's not measured in metric!
Thirty thousand wheels are spinnin'
Oil company faces are grinnin'
Now my hands are turnin' red
And I found out my baby is DEAD!"


also from the same song:

"People are burnin' for pocket change"

and

"And my baby's my common sense
So don't feed me planned obsolescence"

[docx]

I know that one. That's "Cindy Sheehan is Teh Queen of Teh Universe" by Michael Moore and the Child Molesting Communists.

That's right, right?

[Batman]

No.


They're from Detroit if that helps at all. . . .

[docx]

Not Micheal Moore? Hmmm. OK. Then it's the White Stripes "The Big Three Killed My Baby"


"Unsealed on a porch a letter sat.
Then you said, 'I wanna leave it again.'
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand.
And on the sand I wanna leave it again. Yeah."

[Batman]

Clue?

Very famous 90's band.
The song is popular, although it was a seperate single, and did not appear on any official "LP" type releases.
