Hooray! If only I knew another band with "Soul" in the title, or knew the names of any De La Soul songs.....

The De La Soul song was their first hit (think late 80s - also think one's self)...
I fear that the other band may be a little obscure, but I honestly didn't think that when I posted the song

Is one of the bands

Soul Asylum was the answer to number 3 "Runaway Train" that KBomb106 got the answer to.

 

[redmarvel]

Can you give us Hangman clues for the remainder of the songs?

Is there an E

Okay, we know that number 2 is a De La Soul song (This is their most popular song BTW - Big hit in the late 80s - this song basically was the first rap song of its kind) Here are the blank spaces for the song "_ _ , _ _ _ _ _ _ , & _"

[Dove]
Mirror mirror on the wall
Tell me mirror what is wrong?
Can it be my De La Clothes
Or is it just my De La Soul
What I do ain't make believe
People say I sit and try
But when it comes to being De La
It's just "_ _ , _ _ _ _ _ _ , & _"

It's just "_ _ , _ _ _ _ _ _ , & _" (repeat 3x)

[Posdonus]
Now you tease my Plug One style
And my Plug One spectacles
You say Plug One and Two are hippies
No we're not, thats pure Plug Bull
Always pushin that we formed an image
There's no need to lie
When it comes to being Plug One
It's just "_ _ , _ _ _ _ _ _ , & _"

It's just "_ _ , _ _ _ _ _ _ , & _" (repeat 3X)

[Dove]
Proud, I'm proud of what I am
Poems I speak are Plug Two type
Please oh please let Plug Two be
himself, not what you read or write
Write is wrong when hype is written
on the Soul, De La that is
Style is surely our own thing
Not the false disguise of show-biz
De La Soul is from the soul
And in fact I can't deny
Strictly from the Dan called Stuckie
And from "_ _ , _ _ _ _ _ _ , & _"

It's just "_ _ , _ _ _ _ _ _ , & _" (repeat 3X)

[Posdonus]
Glory Glory Hallelu
Glory for Plug One and Two
But that glory's been denied
By concensing dookie eyes
People think they diss my person
by stating I'm darkly packed
I know this so I point at Q-Tip
and he states, "Black is Black"
Mirror mirror on the wall
Shovel chestnuts in my path
Just keep all nuts twistin up
so I don't get an aftermath
But if I do I'll calmly punch them
in the 4th day of July
Cause they tried to mess with third degree
That's "_ _ , _ _ _ _ _ _ , & _"

"_ _ , _ _ _ _ _ _ , & _"(repeat 3X)




The other band is Soul Coughing (if they are too obscure I am sorry as I thought they were more known than they are) anyhow the blanks for this song are "_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ' _ _ _ _ _ _"

Exits to freeways
wisted like knots on
the fingers
jewels cleaving
skin between
breasts.

Your Cadillac breathes
four hundred horses
over blue lines
you are going
to Reseda
to make love
to a model
from Ohio
whose real name
you don't
know

you spin
like the cadillac was
overturning down a
cliff on television
and the radio is on
and the radioman is speaking
and the radioman says
women were a curse
so men built Paramount
studios
and men built Columbia
studios
and men built
Los Angeles

it is 5 am
and you are listening
to Los Angeles

And the radioman says
it is a beautiful night out there!
And the radioman says
Rock and Roll lives!
And the radioman says
it is a beautiful night out there
in Los Angeles
you live
in Los Angeles
and you are going to
Reseda; we are all
in some way or
another going to
Reseda someday
to die
and the radioman
laughs because
the radioman ****s
a model too

Gone savage
for teenagers with
automatic weapons and
boundless love
gone savage for
teenagers who are
aesthetically pleasing
in other words
fly
Los Angeles beckons
the teenagers
to come to her
on buses;
Los Angeles loves
love

it is 5 am
and you are listening
to Los Angeles

I am going to
Los Angeles
to built a screenplay about
lovers who
murder each
other
I am going to
Los Angeles
to see my own
name on a
screen, five feet
long and luminous
as the radioman says
it is 5 am
and the sun has charred
the other side of
the world and come
back to us
and painted the smoke
over our heads
an imperial violet
it is 5 am
and you are listening
to Los Angeles.

You are listening.
You are listening.
You are listening.
You are listening.

This is a great song BTW....

Just a guess by letter placement: Me Myself and I? I still don't know De La Soul, so I have no idea if this is even a song they did.

Are we in Peru yet man? Where the heck is Sweeney?

It's beginning to look a lot like....Peru. I haven't heard from Sweeney in quite some time.

Yes, that is the track...I am honestly shocked that people don't remember this song...

The other track is "Screenwriter's Blues" by Soul Coughing.

The who in the what, now?

Who's next? I've got a set if nobody else has one, but I've gone a lot lately, so if anyone has a round, jump in.

You should check that song out on Kazaa or somewhere...it is really, really good.

I am done with putting songs up and am only guessing from here on out.

Don't feel bad. I posted a round that I thought was easy and it took like 3 weeks. Here's another round I think is pretty easy. I'm leaving, so you guys are on your own to finish it. I'll check in later to see if it's done or post more verses, if need be.

1.
Everyone is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar, the bar is called [...].
The band in [...] plays my favorite song.
They play it once again, they play it all night long.

2.
When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside

3.
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm [...].

Clues: 1 is a song by a popular band. This song, although I seldom hear it on the radio, was popular enough to be covered. 2 is a song that charted well, and I'm sure everyone (except for the young 'uns around here) has heard it. Admittedly, I wouldn't have gotten it from the first verse, but if you don't, there's always verse 2. 3 is a song that has been covered countless times, likely at least once in every decade. I'd hope for the original artist, but some may only know cover versions. Happy guessing!

Knockin' on Heaven's Door - Bob Dylan did it first (I'm almost positive) But I know Guns N Roses did it.

Heaven is a Place on Earth by Belinda Carlisle (sp?)...Orbital does a mix of their classic song "Halycon, and on and on" in their concerts were they drop Bon Jovi and this Belinda song that rules.

** for Speedin Bullet. I even thought about giving you an extra point for not calling it a Guns N Roses song.

**. Sorry...no extra credit for naming other bands who cover/sample it.

Next verse:

1.
Everyone is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar, the bar is called [...].
The band in [...] plays my favorite song.
They play it once again, they play it all night long.

[chorus]

There is a party, everyone is there.
Everyone will leave at exactly the same time.
Its hard to imagine that nothing at all
could be so exciting, and so much fun.

 

[redmarvel]

Is the theme Heaven?
