Kirsty Macoll - In these Shoes

[Moos]

Oh, well, er yes. To be fair though Atila, I think the link Giggirl posted could have been seen by some as a bit of a clue!

[giggirl]

I'm rescuing Lyric Game from its current chaos (yes I know, my fault) with an easy one:

Cause you're my fella my guy

Hand me your stella and fly

[Jah Lush]

Amy Winehouse - I'm No Good

Give us a minute

[Jah Lush]

On the judgement day

When your name is called

And the oceans rise

And the mountains fall

Will the blood of christ, santify your soul

Will you follow satan

And the hell below

[Brendan]

I know that one.

It's Primal Scream

[Jah Lush]

It is Brendan but what track?

[Brendan]

I don't know. It used to be on the tape that I had in my car years back that said Priaml Scream on it. I won't be able to tell you without searchin on t'interweb. Which is against the rules isn't it?

I'd say in this instance it's merely checking the song that that you probably have pinballing round your brain at the moment, but can't put a name to.

The 'It's on the tip of my tongue, honest' rule can be applied.

[giggirl]

It's very Old Testement isn't it - bit creepy

[Brendan]

Ok then with thanks to google. It is called Space Blues 2

And apparently that album that I had in my car all those years back was called Evil Heat.

Was this car named Christine by any chance, Brendan?

Any way off you go.

[Brendan]

all you need to is catch me

when i'm back on the real scene

and all the things that i don't do

just make me laugh, 'cause they irritate you

[Brendan]

Anyone? Anyone?

Hello?

Come on I have tried really hard on this thread not to use lyrics from most of the bands I listen to and rather find ones that you normal folk will know.

I didn?t think these guys were that obscure. They?re even poms.

From the West Midlands, big in the ?90s, this was one of their biggest songs.

Played a style of music that shares its moniker with Nanny Ogg?s cat in Terry Pratchett?s Discworld novels. (just to be a bit obscure about it)

[Moos]

There's no such thing as Greebo music!*

*or, if there is I haven't heard of it.

[red devil]

Greebo's were what we use to call Heavy Metal fans in the early eighties, bands such as Rainbow & Motorhead.

Can't think of any big in the 90's though, I was too busy raving!..give us a another clue

[Timster]

it's my era and I know what grebo music is!

is this one the wonder stuff? don't let me down gently?

[Brendan]

Not The Wonder Stuff no but probably the next biggest band of the genre.

[Brendan]

Ok not spelt exactly the same as the cat but anyway, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grebo for those that are interested.

Anyway not wanting to hold this up, here's one you can really sink your teeth into:

Is this the way to Amarillo

every night I've been hugging my pillow

dreaming dreams of Amarilloand sweet Marie who waits for me

[HonaloochieB]

As everyone knows Grebos were Greasers with no work ethic.

One of the main protaginists was a band called Crazyhead who named an LP after the horse Desert Orchid, if I'm not mistaken.

I reckon The Anti Nowhere League fitted in to the category as well, probably best 'known' for their evisceration of Ralph McTell's Streets Of London.

I just knew that the money I invested in buying Sounds every week would pay off at some point.

[sanity girl]

Ok, I confess I was intrigued by the grebo clue as I used to be into those bands many years back, and I was sure it was Ned's Atomic Dustbin (my friend "dated" their drummer aged 16 and they invited us backstage when supporting the Wonderstuff at Brixton Academy, oh the excitement!), so I looked it up online and it was - Until You Find Out

Hello, by the way. Sorry for jumping in on your game unannounced. And for cheating. If I'm allowed, I'll have to go off now and think of some good lyrics now...

That's fine, SG we mostly don't announce ourselves on this thread and the game is not 'ours', it belongs to the world.

And you brought some fine personal detail about the Dustbins that I for one appreciated.

Took their name from an episode of the Goon Show, a favourite of our own Prince Charles.

[sanity girl]

Thanks HB. Seeing as you liked that detail, I'll add that I once snogged (as only teenagers can) one of their bass players at the Camden Palace!

Anyway, here you go:

I feel bad, and I've felt worse

I'm a creep, yeah, I'm a jerk

[Brendan]

That?s, Touch me I?m sick by Mudhoney

Sorry for breaking the lyric game for a bit there btw, mea culpa. Interesting thing that Sanity pointed out about Neds Atomic Dustbin is that, peculiarly they had 2 bass players so I suppose teenage girls were twice as likely to snog a basserist from them than from other bands.

Surely Anti Nowhere League are a punk rock band though Honestlucy.

Here is the next one directly from the womb of mainstream corporate rock so as not to cause any confusion. Although there is a link to the Seattle scene as a nod to the previous post.
