But I hear he's doin' o.k.
Got a cozy little job selling the Mexican mob
Packages the candycaine

"I don't know, but I sure know I don't feelgood" - tweeti

(Hmmm, are you on track for this song, or one question too early? OH THE CONUNDRUM! -CV)

"'Candycaine'? REALLY? It's bad enough they don't use proper grammar or even proper words in songs, but now they have to MISPELL the ones that are real words?! *dies a fiery English Major death*" - frequencyshift

My love won't do you no harm

(Sometimes he just wanted to feel pretty. -CV)

"And now, people... And now, people... When I woke up this mornin', I heard a distubin' sound. I said When I woke up this mornin', I heard a disturbin' sound! What I heard was the jingle-jangle of a thousand lost souls! I'm talkin' 'bout the souls of mortal men and women, departed from this life. Wait a minute! Those lost angry souls roamin' unseen on the earth, seekin' to find life they'll not find, because it's too late! Tooooo late, yeah!

"CV, to you, everything's gas" - umbralcorax

"Some people say that musicals are unrealistic because they always spontaneously burst into song and everyone knows the words. I don't know if it's my job or what, but this honestly happens to me on a regular basis at work. Often there is dancing, too. But no costumes. That would just be weird" - angelprojekt

And there you have it: quizly fun with lyrics, to evoke good feelings from all of you! And by good feelings we probably mean the opposite of that, because we love us some Schadenfreude.

Happy April to everyone, except all our American colleagues who should go pay their taxes today. Woe! Woe unto thee! And woe unto me too. Cheeky taxes.

See you all soon, same bat-time, same bat-channel, for same quizly goodness.

Rock On!

How is it that I didn't get ONE single answer this week? D: And this was the ONE week where I KNEW every single stinking answer. D: D: D:

Iz sad panda.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Sad panda indeed! This is a classic case of how knowledge does not necessarily equal power or success.

Don't worry. I'm sure you will succeed with the next quiz. It is your destiny!

[drbear.livejournal.com]

*sigh* not even knowing I will start a new job tomorrow can ease the main that tweeti had three answers to my two. A week of being a house underling awaits.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

This is the week of the WOMAN! Hear her roar!

Don't worry; your time to dominate her will come again. Maybe even in this quiz. ;-)

[mark-laura.livejournal.com]

How come there are never any instrumental songs on the quiz?

[mark-laura.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Same with me! (except the knowing the answers part) (and the entering guesses part)
double sad panda

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Because "Fun With Scoresheets" sounds lame when compared to "Fun With Lyrics". ;-)

[i-calql8.livejournal.com]

FOUR! AGAIN! To celebrate the simplicity of this game, even in an all-lyrics edition, we shall have us a mighty quizling feast! Bring me the finest meats and cheeses in all the land!

*ahem*

As much as I felt the hate flow through the quizlings this week, if you ree-hee-hee-heeeeaally want to bask in quizling hate, make the questions all about sports. Just a suggestion.

[lovellama.livejournal.com]

Uh oh, I put i_calql8's answer and my response it the wrong question... :S

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Entering the guesses is definitely a critical part of the whole "getting quoted" thing. Professor Xavier still refuses to be a part of the LJDQ Mod Team, pulling out the funnies from quizlings' subconsciouses.

[sskipstress.livejournal.com]

da-dum da-dum, dah dum, da-dum da-dum, dah dum
da-dum da-dum, da-dum, da-dum da-dum da-dum,
da-dum da-duuum, da-da-da-da-da-da-dum

[germankitty]

Another threefer.

I AM THE TRIPLE THREAT!

[i-calql8.livejournal.com]

Or maybe Fun with Air Guitar! Fun with Drum Solos! Fun with Scat! Well, maybe not the last one...

[sskipstress.livejournal.com]

Fun with nose flute

[i-calql8.livejournal.com]

Fun with mouth harp!

Boing! Buh-boing boing! Boing boing boing boing boing buh-boing!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

One day we will have the All Sports All The Time quiz, and it will be pure joy. If we're feeling extra mean, we'll make it a super-sized 11 question spectacular.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Of course you are! You are German; you're three times as threatening as a normal person. ;-)

I'm half-German, so I'm only 1.5 times as threatening.

[i-calql8.livejournal.com]

oooooooo, nice touch! heh

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Oops! Fixed now. Cheeky questions and their "proper order", blah blah blah.

[i-calql8.livejournal.com]

Ruh roh! I thought I felt a disurbance in the Grand Statisticial Force! *sits down for a second*

[tweeti.livejournal.com]

I knew I knew all these songs. They were the songs of my formative years....And, geeze, am I aging myself with that little gem.

And, btw, I'd like to say, the darned Grinch's heart would've grown, at least, a size or two if he heard "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?", as sung by Elton John in the Lion King. And I'm not ashamed that I cried when JEJ died, you'd have to be completely heartless....besides, like I said, I was at that age...*grin*

[tweeti.livejournal.com]

Finally...*cracking the whip*....Break out the chains, slave....And don't forget the handcuffs!

[frequencyshift.livejournal.com]

Three and first quote up top? Not bad considering this quiz told me I am illiterate when it comes to music.

[germankitty]

Watch it -- who're you calling a normal person?!?

[barbarienne.livejournal.com]

Three and a +1, validating my "just issue relevant movie and TV quotes" theory. Okay, I admit I likely have an advantage from knowing what chaosvizier looks like in his underwear. (Yes, I peeked.)
