All Star and I Just Wanna See by Smashmouth. I read both of their lyrics in the little booklet that came along with Astro Lounge back in 4th grade, and I decided to memorize them. |

The only two songs I can think of right now are Epic by Faith No More and Sabotage by Beastie Boys. |

Ticking away the hours that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of sitting in the sunshine Staying at home to watch the rain You are young and life is long And there is time to kill today And then one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun And you run and you run to catch up with the Sun But it's sinking And racing around to come up behind you again The Sun is the same in a relative way But you're older Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time All the plans have come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet Desperation is the English way The time is gone, The song is over, Thought I'd something more to say! ...That was from memory. |

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale A tale of a fateful trip That started from a tropic port Aboard this tiny ship The mate was a mighty sailin' man The skipper brave and sure Five passengers set sail that day For a three-hour tour, a three-hour tour The weather started getting rough The tiny ship was tossed If not for the courage of the fearless crew The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost The ship set ground on the shore of this Uncharted desert isle With Gilligan The Skipper too The millionaire And his wife The movie star The Professor and Mary Ann Here on Gilligan's Isle! By the way, in the first season the penultimate line was "and the rest". You can imagine that the people who played those roles were pretty ticked. |

I don't think I've ever been able to sing a song off by heart. I can sing along to songs flawlessly, I just can't sing them without the music. |

Its been one week since you looked at me Cocked your head to the side and said "I'm angry." Five days since you laughed at me Saying get that together come back and see me. Three days since the living room I realized its all my fault, but couldn't tell you Yesterday you'd forgiven me But it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry Hold it now and watch the hoodwink As I make you stop, think You'll think you're looking at Aquaman I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss I like the sushi cause its never touched a frying pan Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes Big like Leann rimes Because I'm all about value Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits You try to match wits You try to hold me but I bust through Gonna make a break and take a fake I'd like a stinkin achin shake I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavors Gotta see the show, cause then you'll know The vertigo is gonna grow Cause it's so dangerous, you'll have to sign a waiver How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral Cant understand what I mean? Well, you soon will I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve I have a history of taking off my shirt It's been one week since you looked at me Threw your arms in the air and said, "you're crazy." Five days since you tackled me I've still got the rug burns on both my knees It's been three days since the afternoon You realized its not my fault not a moment too soon Yesterday you'd forgiven me And now I sit back and wait till you say youre sorry Chickity china the Chinese chicken You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin' Watchin' X-files with no lights on, were dans la maison I hope the smoking man's in this one Like Harrison Ford I'm getting Frantic Like Sting, I'm tantric Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy Like Kurasawa, I make mad films Okay I don't make films But if I did they'd have a samurai Gonna get a set of better clubs Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs just so my Irons aren't always flying off the back-swing Gotta get in tune with sailor moon Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes That make me think the wrong thing How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral Cant understand what I mean? you soon will I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve I have a history of losing my shirt It's been one week since you looked at me Dropped your arms to your sides and said I'm sorry Five days since I laughed at you And said you just did just what I thought you were gonna do Three days since the living room We realized were both to blame, but what could we do? Yesterday you just smiled at me Cause it'll still be two days till we say were sorry It'll still be two days till we say were sorry It'll still be two days till we say were sorry Birchmount stadium, home of the Robbie I think I won the thread. |

It's a god awful small affair To the girl with the mousy hair But her mummy is yelling no And her daddy has told her to go. But her friend is no where to be seen Now she walks through her sunken dream To the seats with the clearest view And she's hooked to the silver screen. But the film is a saddening bore, And she's lived it ten time or more. She could spit in the eyes of fools As they ask her to focus on Sailors Fighting in the dance hall Oh man! Look at those caveman go. It's the freakiest show. Take a look at the lawman Beating up the wrong guy. Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know... He's in the best selling show. Is there life on Mars? It's on America's tortured brow That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow. Now the workers have struck for fame. Cause Lennon's on sale again. See the mouse and their million hordes From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads. Rule Britannia is out of my bounds To my mother my dog and clowns. But the film is a saddening bore. Cause I wrote it ten times or more. It's about to be writ again As I ask her to focus on Sailors Fighting in the dance hall Oh man! Look at those cavemen go. It's the freakiest show. Take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy Oh man! Wonder if they'll ever know He's in the best selling show. Is there life on Mars? |

I've memorised plenty of good songslike Bohemian Rhapsody, Tribute, and about 50 different Muse songs. But the only song that I memorised for no reason is this one that I don't even know the name of: Well, the days start coming and they don't stop coming break to the rules and I hit the ground running. Didn't make sense not to live for fun, your brain get's smart but your head gets dumb. So much to do, so much to see so what's wrong with taking the backstreets. You'll never know if you don't go. You'll never shine if you don't glow. Hey now, you're an all-star get your game on, go play! Hey now, you're a rock star get the show on, get paid! All that glitters is gold. Only shooting stars break the mould. I used to know the whole thing, just 'cos all the kids in my class memorised it. I only remember the chorus now, as that was a few years ago. |

I hate hip-hop. So why is it I know the words to most of the songs playing out there on the radio? It's because they make them catchily repeat the SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. It saddens me. I don't like singing along to hip-hop.
