Not exactly obscure music quiz

So this week I went through my mp3 player and chose the songs I love to sing along with, the ones that whenever they come up I always stop and listen. The ones you can see me rocking out to in my car as I drive down the highway.

And I present them to you with some of my favorite lyrics from those songs. Can you name the song and the artist? I will give you these hints: No artist is in here more than once. None of these songs are from musicals. The usual suspects are in here, but not with their most popular songs. Some of these songs are obscure, but some of them are pretty darn, um, ... scure?

Good luck.


1 Life is nothing but a slap in the face.
2 If there's a god, he is laughing at us and our football team.
3 She said "Son what are you doing here? My fear for you has turned me in my grave."
4 Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone. They paved paradise and they put up a parkin' lot.  [info]madamruppy and [info]castalusoria .
5 Green grass grows around the backyard shithouse. And that is where the sweetest flowers bloom. We are flowers growing in God's garden. And that is why he spreads the shit around.
6 You're one badass fucking fractal.  [info]zombie_dog 
7 Baby's busy hiding in the bassinet wonderin' if the third world war started yet. I told her I was pulling up and heading west. She said she would have come but she was overdressed
8 It's our most abiding dream. And a dream is an easy sell. And when the tourists come from Earth. You'll be the big cheese on that orbiting rondelle. [info]madamruppy  and [info]castalusoria 
9 Well I’m on my way. I don’t know where I’m going. I’m on my way, I’m taking my time but I don’t know where. [info]castalusoria 
10 Well, life's like a road that you travel on. There's one day here and the next day gone. Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand. Sometimes you turn your back to the wind. [info]castalusoria 
11 Wider than the sea - bigger than my big canoe and me. Blacker than a bullet - shiny as the stars we cannot find. And the blue, blue music - nothing ever was so sweet. Everything is fine: Higher Mathematics of the mind... [info]evcelt 
12 I tried to dance at a funeral, New Orleans Style. I joined the Gravedancer's Union. I had to file. Try to do the right thing, play it straight. The right thing changes from state to state. A combination of [info]jadasc and [info]mazefield .
13 Down at the bottom. Sensible to ear and sternum. Made the fakeness realistic. When the action went ballistic. One degree shy of sadistic.
14 So the straw man comes to the city of green says look at my field and see what I’ve seen  [info]castalusoria 
15 You can see those pictures in any magazine. But what's the use of looking when you don't know what they mean? [info]jadasc 
16 Singing "Hakuna Matata." Growing Mouseketeer stigmata. In the only club that's made for you and me. [info]castalusoria 


The winner will get nothing in particular. Good luck!

Characters done: 46. To do: 23. 67% done. Good shape? Maybe, but 23 characters in 32 days is... annoying.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

As usual, the most cogent view of American politics comes to us from outside our own country.



Also, Hollywood, I've been good. I pay to see movies. I try not to badmouth you too much. Please, please I beg of you. Please stop raping my childhood. Please?
