Randomness before football and Doctor Who today

[misscam]

Oh yeah, FIFA's not happy

Neither are some of the Argentinian supporters. I found one fight where one Norwegian fan of them were going on about bad Germany, and one guy replied "even if your mother blows, that doesn't mean the whole of Germany does". Man. Football. Serious business.

Portugal - England and Brazil - France today. Wheeee. Football is very distracting to fic-writing, I must say. But it's so glorious to watch... Also today, Doctor Who with a reported cliffhanger of dooooom. Dear oh dear. I will be a nervous wreck by the end of today, truly.

Random fight of the day:
To me, WP has neck fat, just the same as he has blue eyes. It's part of who he is. I didn't realize we couldn't talk about it. It's not negative in my opinion just part of life.

And a disagreement goes from there. The Internet sure gets arguments started by the most odd topics at times. Then again, humans are odd creatures.

A meme:
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

Google is cheating. Don't be a cheater.

If you get all of there, I'm impressed. Because there's quite a few Norwegian ones here.

I am utterly stumped on all but 20; which is Savage Garden - Affirmation

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Ooh, and I've just realised 17 is Drops of Jupiter by Train. ;)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Correctemundo!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You're right there, heh.

The days of Water Rats and Savage Garden are strangely linked in my head, really.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Mine too. I still remember singing Hold Me in the kitchen of our hotel in Sydney while we made a huge pot of spaghetti.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Sniff. I wasn't around for that.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

And you were sorely missed. *sniffs too* (You went to Utah instead. :P)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oooooh yeah, so I did. I remember now.

Sorry :P But I did finally come to Sydney and Australia.

8. Blackbird - The Beatles
16. Good Enough - Sarah McLachlan
12. Arwen's Song - Liv Tyler
20. Affirmation - Savage Garden

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Correct on all, but too slow on the last one ;)

And a disagreement goes from there. The Internet sure gets arguments started by the most odd topics at times. Then again, humans are odd creatures.
Sheesh, can they please talk about all this fun somewhere else? The poor thread. *headdesks*
Whatever.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Think the mod was trying to make that point, but of course, then you get disagreements about that.

There really is no winning sometimes.

[piecesfalling.livejournal.com]

You're probably right. But I can't stand another page of this, at least let them have another thread. Oh well, the rant and rave thread maybe? *sigh*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Might work better for that purpose, yeah.

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

5- "Ooh La La" - The Hands? From Blackpool? Cause that scene had awesome cinematography.

And all the others I knew have been guessed...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hehe. Yes, you're correct.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

Mwah, ugly scenes. But then I did only see them half drunk so I can't say much about them, but it sure looked like some emotions boiled over on both sides. Will keep my mouth shut what I think about the argentinian team, just that I really cannot believe one of the Germans started it. Sure, Poldi looks like he might on that picture, but then he was the one who held Bierhoff back

[misscam.livejournal.com]

One angle they showed the start of the fight from showed an Argentinian stepping on a German's hand for some reason, and Bierhoff reacting to that. Dunno just what happened there, but not looking pretty, no.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

As I said, it was a tense game and thank God for that referee, he was an angel. As if Lahm could ever foul someone *hugs Lahmy*.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

also, is #9 'Sing' (or something) by A-ha?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Right band, wrong song title.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

then I have to pass, know the song but not its title.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'll give you joint credit, heh.

[ailanreanter.livejournal.com]

"Velvet" from the album Minor Earth Major Sky ?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yep.

[falena]

#10 is Follow My Ruin by Royksopp. I have only two songs by them, but I kinda like them and feel like downloading more...Any recs?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Correct.

And... well, I like all the songs on their album "The Understanding". Particulary "Someone like me" and "Beautiful day without you".

[falena]

Thanks.

[maureenlycaon.livejournal.com]

18 -- "Wild Horses", by the Rolling Stones, on the Sticky Fingers album. Man, that's a loooong way back.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yep!

My mum is a Stones fan. I grew up on it and still listen now and then.

[avonassac.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure 2 is Maria Mena - Sorry.. right?

6 - Sideways by Citizen Cope?

Is 14 "Hard Rock Hallelujuah" by Lordi.. I think?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

All correct :)

[norwegianne.livejournal.com]

19 - Kaizer's Orchester... Eg hadde litt problemer me an, for å sei det sånn (og ja, eg tar dette på dialekt, siden det faktisk va dialekten som va cluet.) ;) men eg visste eg hadde hørt an før, og me den karakteristiske "solå", så måtte det nesten enten ver Kaizer's, Vamp eller Bjørn Eidsvåg, eller någen andre...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Heh. Jau, du ha rett der.

Liker Kaizer's, jeg.

[tilly-stratford.livejournal.com]

Eneren er vel Odd Nordstoga's Orda du gav meg. For noen måneder siden bodde jeg hos forelda til'n Odd Nordstoga. Koselige folk. Også lærte jeg at navnet hans uttales "Ødd".

For seint ute med Kaizers ser jeg :-)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Artig, heh.

Ja, og det var riktig.

[glinda-penguin.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone's got this one yet... 7. Song for Catherine by K's Choice. 15....is annoying me because it's on the tip of my tongue but I can't think what it is... *is frustrated*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Right on 7, yes. 15 is associated with milk. *taps nose*
