OK, it was my fault. I completely forgot that some people may have issues with watching an entry with 40 videos in it. So, moving on…

21) On the floors of Tokyo, A-down in London town’s a go go

No wonder Billy Idol is Dancing With Myself, no one knew the song:

22) Looking out, Across the night-time

Human Nature by Michael Jackson, another song with no takers:

23) Well, I feel pretty good, and I guess that I could

Sorry pheric, I don’t have the MC5 version of this song so you’ll have to put up with the Rage Against The Machine version:

24) They made a statue of us, and put it on a mountaintop

findingsunshine got that it was Regina Spektor, bit not that the song is called Us. Don’t blame her, it’s not actually that good:

25) I’m infected, By your genetics

Obviously I’m the only one Infected by Repo! The Genetic Opera:

26) Something has changed within me, Something is not the same

Oribeth, findingsunshine and A Rather Shady Mogwi all got that it was Defying Gravity. I was glad to be able to use this particular video with two (yup, two) Glee cast members in it:

27) Counting all different ideas driftin away, Past and present they don’t matter

Well, 1901 was a pretty uneventful year, so I’m not surprised no-one knew this Phoenix song:

28) Been there, done that, messed around, I’m having fun, don’t put me down

findingsunshine got that it is indeed Bulletproof by La Roux:

29) Tha spirit of Jackson, Now screams through tha ruins

Another Rage song, another two points to pheric. This time it was New Millennium House:

30) We are not your sinners, Our voices are for real

No love for the Manic Street Preachers with You Love Us:

31) Inflammation of the foreskin reminds me of your smile, I’ve had ballanital shancroids for quite a little while

This one confused Oribeth but no guesses. Medical Love Song by those Monty Python guys:

32) At least you know, you were taken by a pro

Another one with no takers. Aimee Mann with Driving Sideways:

33) I was following the pack, all swallowed in their coats

I’m actually kinda upset that no-one got this one. My favourite musical find in years, White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes:

(seriously folks, get hold of their album. It’s fucking AMAZING.

34) Don’t tell me not to live, just sit and putter, Life’s candy and the sun’s a ball of butter

findingsunshine knew that it was Don’t Rain On My Parade while Oribeth and Tender Lumpling both knew it was the Barbara Streisand version:

35) Joan was quizzical; Studied pataphysical, Science in the home

Both pheric and edna million got this. Maxwell’s Silver Hammer by The Beatles:

36) I like big butts and I can not lie, You other brothers can’t deny

Oh boy. Here we go. Expecting some hatred for this one. Oribeth, The Darkness Daisy, pheric, pierced_poet, findingsunshine, Tender Lumpling and A Rather Shady Mogwi all got the song but NOT the artist. It is indeed Baby Got Back but it’s NOT the original by Sir Mix-A-Lot (AFAIK I don’t even own that version). Rather, and I’m so glad this came up on winamp, it is Baby Got Back Gilbert And Sullivan Style by Michael Hightower:

(And if you want to download the song, you can find it here

37) I died, So many years ago

The last one with any guesses. Oribeth and pierced_poet both knew this is Rest In Peace from Once More With Feelings:

38) Blake says no one ever really loved him, They just faked it to get money from the government

This is Blake Says by Amanda Fucking Palmer:

39) It’s not, What you thought – Aimee Mann, Wise Up

Obviously no Aimee Mann fans out there, this is Wise Up:

40) Last night I got served a little bit too much of that poison, baby, Last night I did things I’m not proud of and I got a little crazy

And finishing with Last Name, the version in Glee performed by the crazy talented Kristin Chenowith:

Scores? Work them out yourself.

Will
