Quote Comp.

Radiohead, "Creep", by any chance
 
Simon Darkshade - It's your turn :)
 
Very well, something nice and evil for you.
"But look at you, you're shaking all over!
Shaking you silly goose? I'm just doing the Watusi, that's all!"

I was going to go for something even more obscure, or even Australian, but that wouldn't have been fair.
 
Tadpoles - The Bonzo Dog Band


the song goes on like this:

Tigers don't go out on rainy nights.
They've no need to whet their appetites.

Hunting tigers out in "Indiah".
Out in, out in, out in "Indiah". Yah!




So the next one is mine? This shouldn't be hard to find, especially since it's pretty long:

"It's time for us people to start making some changes,
let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live, and let's change the way we treat eachother.
See, the old way wan't working,
so it's on us to do what we gotta do, to survive."
 
2Pac - Changes
 
omg, I won!!! :D
k, now after I double checked it on a lyrics page I post mine:


I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie

that one from you, the only thing i can come up with is

A Serviceable Villain: Notes on Building Bad Guys
by
Darcy Pattison
 
I quote: Caught you using a search engine without cross-checking Scorch!!


Well...:

Caught you using a search engine without cross-checking DaEezt!!

That ain't a song! Just check! :lol:
 
yeah, but Duke said "Not really a lyric, " so i thought give it a try :D

Also it's something different then my "I don't have the slightest idea" posts ;) :lol:
 
Hey Duke. From memory that's part of the random rubbish that fills the background of:
"I am the Walrus" by The Beatles.
It's not part of the song lyrics, true. It's all mixed in behind. But you're right, it's very famous. I don't have the track anymore but I seem to remember it continues at the very end "What, is he dead? Sit you down father. Rest you.".
Right?

[edit]
I say "random rubbish", and it certainly has little to do with the rest of the song, but it's all a quote from Shakespeare, "King Lear" Act Four, Scene 6:

Oswald:
Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse.
If ever thou wilt thrive, bury my body
And give the letters which you find'st about me
To Edmund, Earl of Gloucester. Seek him out
Upon the English party. O, untimely death!
Death!

Edgar:
I know thee well: a serviceable villain,
As duteous to the vices of thy mistress
As badness would desire.

Gloucester:
What, is he dead?

Edgar:
Sit you down, father. Rest you.

Why the Beatles chose to put that behind I am the Walrus I'll never know.
 
Wow, I couldn't answer any of these questions 'cause I know it. I have to look it up all! Only if something not older than 7 years, something very famous and known or something of 2pac or other rappers would come.....

just wait till it's my turn again :D
 
Most modern lyrics are on the net. A quick search and you've got them. Like Duke, I'm trying to find trickier ones.

What, and by whom?
"America was pregnant with promise and anticipation
But was murdered by the hand of the inevitable"


The track was released as a single in both the UK and the US, and featured on several albums. It's still a "rock classic". The British version was over 6 minutes long and these were the only words!
