alcohol is your yoga, baby

answers to lyric meme: The unguessed titles were:

2 - Love & Rockets - Yin & Yang (The Flowerpot Man) - Alcohol is your yoga, baby.
4 - Aimee Mann - How Am I Different? - When you fuck it up later, do I get my money back?
5 - Gang of Four - What We All Want - Can't trust the gods you've trusted
7 - Lucinda Williams - World Without Tears - How would broken find the bones?
11 - Bright Eyes - From A Balance Beam - It was in a foreign hotel's bathtub I baptized myself in change, and one by one I drowned all of the people I had been.
12 - Lush - Sweetness and Light - You are the juice I need for life
13 - Ted Nugent - Stranglehold - Some people think they gonna die someday. I got news - you never gotta go
15 - Lone Justice/Maria McKee - Ways to be Wicked - I can watch your little eyes light up while you're walking me through hell
16 - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Slowly Goes the Night -I watch the moon get flayed anew, until the moon becomes the skinning tool
19 - The Replacements - Bastards of Young - The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please
23 - Azure Ray - November - I was afraid to be alone, now I'm scared that's how I like to be
24 - Cat Power - He War - He will kill for you

Most of the ones I thought would be easy were unguessed. I thought for sure someone would recognize the Ted Nugent song and ding me for being 1) a dork and 2) old. Keep in mind that Ted was not known to be a right-wing, bow-hunting nutjob back when the song was new, try not to listen too hard to the lyrics, and it's pretty sexy. I mean, it even includes a bit of a Ravel homage, if I'm not mistaken. If, like me, you have seen the terrible Mark Wahlberg/Jennifer Aniston movie, Rockstar literally dozens of times on cable, you will note that the producers found it sexy enough to use in the scene where the happy couple start making out with strangers and Ms. A eventually loses her macrame dress so that everyone can orgy.

You just really lost a lot of respect for me there, didn't you?

Also, considering how many of the rest of the songs she guessed correctly and at efficient speed, I was surprised that [livejournal.com profile] penelope_z didn't get #16. I expected #4 to be one of the first guessed. I am apparently wrong in my belief that everyone knows #15. I didn't really expect anyone to get #2, but I just love that line, and if anyone had actually gotten #5, I would have been very surprised.
