The Song Made Me Do It

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Have you ever listened to a song and then do somethig because of something said in the song. This morning I listened to "Learn To Fly" (live) and Dave said (or sang) "I'm looking for a complication". So after I listened to that I listened to "Complication" by Killing Joke.

So what have you done because of a song, major or minor?

For the most part.

Ohhh cool...if you change your Flash setting to "Low Quality" the symbol becomes subtly MORE hypnotic.

I carried that weight a long time.

After reading the intro post, I now have Avril's "Complicated" stuck in my head.

Cheers, ILM

I loved like blood.

I'm going out in a Blaze Of Glory. If everything goes to plan.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 19 May 2003 13:33 (twenty-three years ago)

I would've done anything for love, but I won't do that. Especially since the other thread explained what "that" is.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 19 May 2003 13:49 (twenty-three years ago)

I banged the drum slowly. Nobody really paid any attention.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 19 May 2003 13:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Ditto for that time I rocked the bells.

I have learned how to live and let die.

I suddenly wanted to do it in the road.

I shot a man in Reno...Just kidding.

It was Redbridge. In Essex.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 19 May 2003 13:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Despite an instinctual urge to do otherwise, I did indeed quite regrettably walk a dinosaur.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 19 May 2003 13:57 (twenty-three years ago)

I twisted again, just like i did last summer.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Monday, 19 May 2003 13:58 (twenty-three years ago)

At least once a day, I find myself really, really, really wanting to zigazigah.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 19 May 2003 13:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I got into the groove and proved my love for you

I know that it isn't really smart, but I'm playing with the Queen of Hearts.

I stood in one spot, not moving, because Toni Childs told me "Don't Walk Away"

Well, I took a walk on the wild side

I began to see the light.

I learned when to hold 'em, and also when to fold 'em.

Olivia Neutron Bomb made me wanna get "Physical"

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Monday, 19 May 2003 14:04 (twenty-three years ago)

I aided and abetted the veritable pumping up of the proverbial jam.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 19 May 2003 14:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, but I pumped it up until I could feel it.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Monday, 19 May 2003 14:06 (twenty-three years ago)

I came on in your kitchen...

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Monday, 19 May 2003 14:06 (twenty-three years ago)

I often find myself wanting to have fun and wanting to get wasted, though it might be inappropriate to blame Andrew WK for that. I blame the Beastie Boys encouraging me to fight the good one for the right to party instead.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 19 May 2003 14:07 (twenty-three years ago)

I decided to start breakin' the law, breakin' the law!

While waiting breathlessly for Cath Carroll to take me for a ride, I couldn't shake the nagging suspicion that I would soon lie dead at Santiago's feet.

― Sam J. (samjeff), Friday, 30 May 2003 14:50 (twenty-three years ago)

I got a rocket launcher, and some son of a bitch died after I got it.

I informed Bono of specifically who it was that I had elected to ride my wild horses. He seemed somewhat doubtful.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 30 May 2003 15:04 (twenty-three years ago)

quite regrettably, i continued to insist on wasting my time by ignoring Steven Morrissey more and more with each passing day. as he'd threatened, he continued to get closer and closer. now his head is growing out of my shoulder, and it's difficult to find shirts that we both agree on. understandably, this whole experience has caused me no small amount of distress.

― janni (janni), Friday, 30 May 2003 15:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I do it to myself, I do, and as Thom quite rightly pointed out, that's what really hurts.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:35 (twenty-three years ago)

(I dedicated one to the ladies.) I was your ice cream man, you stopped me whilst I was passing by. You let me cool you one time and became a regular stop.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:40 (twenty-three years ago)

...which is all the more funny considering i too was under influence of Young Master Yorke when i heeded his advice that, indeed, anyone could play guitar. with this accomplished, i ceased being nothing almost immediately thereafter.

― janni (janni), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh yeah yeah yeah, I didn't let your lovin' go to waste
Oh honey child, I gave you a taste
Whoa I sent shivers
Smooth up in ya

right at this moment, i'm working on increasing my anxiety as it's something i can do for free.

(what can i say? money's tight, yo.)

― janni (janni), Friday, 30 May 2003 18:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I got on the good foot.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Friday, 30 May 2003 18:51 (twenty-three years ago)

I made a record in my home, since I didn't need a studio. Then I got some pictures, cut them up, pasted them up and put them out, without bringing an end to my bubblegum punkpop disco. For this, they love me.

In response to a twelve-year-old request that I had been neglecting for too long, I sent five crates of dollar-bin indie rock CDs to Lou Barlow's house.

― Sam J. (samjeff), Friday, 30 May 2003 23:24 (twenty-three years ago)

And in response to a 27-year-old request that I'd been neglecting for too long, I grabbed a knife, and I stabbed a dick, and I beat on Dinah Shore. But I still can't get no satisfaction.

At Ian's insistance, I danced, danced, danced, danced to the radio.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 31 May 2003 01:20 (twenty-three years ago)

I looked at my pants when I listened to Homer Simpson's version of "The Safty Dance"

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 31 May 2003 01:39 (twenty-three years ago)

I stood in the place where I lived. Then I faced north. I thought about direction and wondered why I hadn't before. Then I stood in the place where I worked and then faced west. There, I thought about the place where I lived and again wondered why I hadn't before. I was indeed confused, so I checked with the sun and remembered to carry a compass to help me along. My feet were indeed going to be on the ground and, thankfully, my head was with me as well for the benefit of moving my body around. After all this, I felt like a total asshole.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 31 May 2003 01:44 (twenty-three years ago)

I saw you runnin'/ I saw you runnin' from where I lay

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Saturday, 31 May 2003 02:40 (twenty-three years ago)

After all this, I felt like a total asshole.
Especially after Michael Stipe made you do that stupid "Compass Dance".
Granted Alex was forced at gunpoint, so he's not completely to blame.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Saturday, 31 May 2003 02:41 (twenty-three years ago)

I put my head up I don't know how many times.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 31 May 2003 03:11 (twenty-three years ago)

I watched the guy from The Transplants.

I got it on.

i wished really hard that i had a rabbit in a hat and a bat with a six-foot Impala. it didn't amount to much, however---my bunny still won't get in my hat. :(

― janni (janni), Saturday, 31 May 2003 15:03 (twenty-three years ago)

I took a look at Phil now. I didn't in fact see an empty space, but rather a annoying former prog drummer with thinning hair. As unsightly as he is, he was quite right --- me coming back to him was truly against all odds....especially since I was never with him to begin with. Silly man.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 31 May 2003 18:14 (twenty-three years ago)

i've decided that the world could die in pain, and i really wouldn't feel no shame. probably because there's really nothing holding me to blame, although i wouldn't stake my life on it. additionally, as of this moment, i'm finding that i can't stand up, or cool down, or even get my head off the ground.

what a morning.

I took it easy after listening to "Kings & Queens".

After listening to "Eighties", I got out of Jaz' way. I wanted to talk to him but he seemed to be threatning me.

seven months pass...

I eat a lot, I sleep a lot - but, I've learned, it's very important that you do NOT brush 'em like crazy. I have severe gum recession and worn enamel from what dentists say has been a lifetime of too-vigorous brushing. You should brush very, very gently, going with the "grain" of the gumline (using soft upward strokes on the bottom, and downward strokes on the top). Or use an electric toothbrush. Save the rest of that wholesome, all-American energy for flossing 'em like crazy, which is almost as important as brushing.
