Song Challenge Three!(Or possibly four. It's been a while!) The following story contains a lot of song titles that are hidden as part of the dialogue. The challenge is for you to pick out as many of the song titles as you can and name the song and the singer. Because of my somewhat broad musical interests, anyone of any age and most musical interests should be able to pick out a few at least that they know. And, as usual, there will probably be a good few song titles I include without ever realising it! If all the world's a stage, then every word is certainly a song! Have fun - and beat everyone else if you can! (As usual, cross posted to Chaos & the SSF) *** How To Civilise The Universe"The age of innocence is dead on arrival," Angel said with a heavy sigh. "Just like peace in our time. A girl like me feels torn. Never a day goes by without more pestilence and plague." Denis nodded. "Story of my life is that high school never ends. I want to be wild at heart but time after time the game of life is just so fake." "It sucks," Denis' Sister Sara agreed. "Tonight we, the kids in America will bring peace on Earth!" "You think being born in the USA makes us one of God's better people?" Denis grinned. "Forever & always!" Sara laughed. "It's true!" Angel giggled. "Because Uncle Sam don't walk away right down the line!" "You're all screwed up!" Denis laughed. "Angel of mine, in an ideal world my Cinderella would save me." "Like, woah!" Angel laughed."It's Cassanova, Baby!" *** 'Story'... 'Pointless ramble'... take your pick, really! But there are at least 39 song titles in there. So go for it!

A day with Clan of Xymox! Admit it, Elliot, it was intentional!
I see a lot of things that's probably a song, but I don't quite know what song it is. Or who the artist is.
Übereil

As usual, Ube, they range from the really famous songs that most people know to the really obscure, just so there's enough of a challenge for everyone. As Mod of the music section here on Chaos, there's a few I KNOW you should know

OK - the new prize question is "What word is NOT part of a song title!"

Post by Elliot Kane on Jun 10, 2009 18:13:59 GMT
Now THAT might be the harder question to answer, Glance! ;D

Post by Dark Phoenix Rising on Jun 10, 2009 18:43:03 GMT
I don't think there are any words in that snippet that are not actually part of a song title

Post by Glance A'Lot on Jun 11, 2009 17:27:32 GMT
Me neither - mark the absence of any plural form in my question!
