philmophlegmAnswers to assorted memes and questions that I have left around:
First the movie meme. This was how we left it:
1. "Luca Brasi held a gun to the bandleader's head, and my father assured him that either his signature or his brains would be on the release...That's a true story...That's my family Kay, it's not me." - THE GODFATHER, SKORDH
2. "You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like - I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's sort of in between those, really. It's like a Mach piece, really. It's sort of..."
"What do you call this?"
"Well, this piece is called "Lick My Love Pump"." - SPINAL TAP, KING_PELLINOR
3. "The best thing to do is be cunning and stay where you are. I'm going to let them think they've got me house trained, but they never will, the bastards. To get me beat, they'll have to stick a rope around my neck."
4. "Oh dear! I seem to have got a little plastered!" - CARRY ON UP THE KHYBER, KING_PELLINOR
5. "Bak. Derk-derk-Allah. Derka derka, Mohammed Jihad. Haka sherpa-sherpa. Abaka-la."
"Ahhh! Derka derka derka!" - TEAM AMERICA, KING_PELLINOR
6. "You would prefer another target, a military target? Then name the system! I grow tired of asking this so it will be the last time: *Where* is the rebel base?" - STAR WARS, KING-PELLINOR
7. "Shut up and sit down, you big, bald fuck!" - SNATCH, CHAINMAILMAIDEN
8. "Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. How did it come to this?" - THE TWO TOWERS, KING_PELLINOR
9. "What kind of music do you usually have here?"
"Oh, we got both kinds. We got country *and* western." - THE BLUES BROTHERS, KING_PELLINOR
10. "Wipe them out, all of them." - THE PHANTOM MENACE, KING_PELLINOR
11. "Your father did business with Hyman Roth, he respected Hyman Roth... but he never *trusted* Hyman Roth!" - THE GODFATHER, PART 2, SKORDH
12. "I am the father of this nation, Nicholas. And you have most... grossly... offended your father." - THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND, BUNN
13. "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long - and you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy." - BLADE RUNNER, BUNN
14. "We're sailing on the wide accountanceeeeee!" - MONTY PYTHON'S THE MEANING OF LIFE, KING_PELLINOR
15. "You're the one that's gone from being a chartered accountant to Charlton Heston!"
And the remaining answers:
3. is from 'The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner'.
15. is from 'Shaun of the Dead'.
Then the song lines meme. Rather harder this one. This is how we left it:
1. Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here? THE REPRISE FROM THE BUFFY EPISODE 'ONCE MORE WITH FEELING' SOUNDTRACK ALBUM - Parrot_Knight.
2. Link it to the world. Link it to yourself.
3. All I want is a room with a view; A sight worth seeing, a vision of you
4. Baby Genius; look how you've grown.
5. The Vargr Moon's at height; The sun that shines at night VARGR MOON, FROM THE ALBUM 'TRAVELLER' BY LORD WEIRD SLOUGH FEG - Bunn
6. Sleep easy by my side; Into gentle slumber you can hide
7. Somewhere out there on that horizon; Out beyond the neon lights
8. Outside the take-away, Saturday night
a bald adolescent, asks me out for a fight
9. A small jean genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers
10. When you wake up in the mornin'
And you can't remember much about the night before
11. Oh go Johnny kick me in the head,
Aimin' for the floorboard but they pick me up instead
12. Well we sat on the bank and I was pissed
When I saw him pushing to play with your garden
13. Howard, the strangest thing
Has happened lately
14. Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
15. I'm thinkin' about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it - MY DOORBELL, THE WHITE STRIPES - Bunn
16. Spent my days with a woman unkind,
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
17. Before I met my baby, there was a whole lot going on
Yea, before I met my baby, there was a whole lot going on
18. HEY!
Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh-Oh, Oh Oh Oh-Oh, Oh Oh Oh-Oh
HEY!
Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh-Oh, Oh Oh Oh-Oh, Oh Oh Oh-Oh
HEY!
19. How does it feel to have love to have lost
And I know how to feel anymore
20. You've got to move, you can't stay here no more
You've got to move, you can't stay here no more, oh yes
2. is 'New Born' by the biggest rock band ever to come out of Teignmouth, Muse.
3. is Blondie's 'Picture This'.
4. is 'Baby Genius' by Eels*
6. is a Fleetwood Mac song called 'Warm Ways'.
7. is 'In the City' by The Eagles.
8. is 'Kung Fu International' by punk poet John Cooper Clarke.
9. is, rather obviously 'Jean Genie' by David Bowie. Thought some Life on Mars fan would have got this one!
10. is Slade's 'Bangin' Man'.
11. is 'Clean, Clean' by The Buggles.
12. is the Darkness's version of 'English Country Garden'.
13. is 'Boxing', a fictional conversation between Muhammad Ali and Howard Cosell, by Ben Folds Five.
14. is 'The End of the Innocence', specifically the Bruce Hornsby version. It is more famously a Don Henley song, but Bruce Hornsby actually wrote it.
16. is 'Going to California' by Led Zeppelin
17. is (and I really thought chainmailmaiden might have got this, since it is she who loaned me the CD) Bruce Dickinson's 'Ballad of Mutt'.
18. is admittedly rather difficult, but it is actually 'High School Never Ends' by Bowling for Soup.
19. is 'How does it feel?' by The Zutons.
20. is 'Got to Move' from Fleetwood Mac's very first album.
* Did anyone see the programme on BBC4 a couple of weeks ago about Eels frontman Mark Everett? Turns out he is the son of the physicist who came up with the parallel universes interpretation of quantum physics. It was very interesting. Really.
