PentiumPro · February 26th, 2004

Kaiser Sigma · February 26th, 2004

Sakura Taisen - Geki!
Slayers - Breeze
Lunar II EB: - Blue Star Rondo, Lucia's theme

Don't ask me how... guess I've just listened to them alot...

roxor · February 26th, 2004

I can remember the words to the following:

"Waltzing Matilda" (the unofficial Australian national anthem, been popular since since 1895)

And a number of Tom Lehrer's songs:

"The Irish Ballad"
"The Hunting Song"
"My Home Town"
"I Hold Your Hand In Mine" (Eeeewww..... I wasn't intending to memorise this one)
"Poisoning Pigeons In The Park"
"A Christmas Carol"
"The Elements" (don't try to sing along with this one)

There are a few others that I don't know all the words to, but I'd like to memorize them.

Sure. I'll quote the whole lyrics.

-------begin quote----

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
under the shade of a coolabah tree.
And he sang as he watched and waited 'till his billy boiled,
"Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me?"

Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darling,
Who'll come a walzing matilda with me?
Waltzing matilda, and leading a waterbag,
Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me?

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the waterhole,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a waltzing matilda with me."

Up came the squatter, mounted on his thourabred,
Up came policemen one, two, and three.
"Whose is the jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?"
"You'll come a waltzing matilda with me."

But the swagman, he up and jumped into the waterhole,
Drowning himself by the coolabah tree.
And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the billabong,
"Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me?"

------end quote---------

Does this help?

**Kane** · February 26th, 2004

roxor: how the hell can you memorise 'The Elements song'. I know it's good an all, but it's harder than trying to learn a Jap song without the karoke lyrics.

N1ghtw0lf · February 26th, 2004

play that funky music white boy - wild cherry
remember me - journey
just about any aerosmith song
oasis songs (meh, dont listen to em much anymore but i remember)
311 songs
linkin park songs
mad world - tears for fears (michael andrews also)
head over heels - tears for fears
don't fear the reaper - blue oyster cult
sublime songs
there's more...just too much typing

PentiumPro · February 26th, 2004

Oh yeah. Oasis. "Champagne Supernova" was my favorite from them. I had the cd but my schitsophrenic aunt stole it. Dammit. Anyway, that song makes me wanna do drugs or something. It's such a profound song. I love it.

Reading the lyrics many many times! That, and singing along with the lyrics as you read them. They come with the boxed set "The Remains Of Tom Lehrer", along with the lyrics for all the songs in the set.

PentiumPro · February 26th, 2004

Uh, oops?

BTW, in your sig pic, letters don't reflect, and the balls don't reflect properly because you stretched them to be under the letters.

bcrew1375 · February 26th, 2004

I know mostly Country songs.

Riding With Private Malone - David Ball

The Nerve - George Strait
Heaven Is A Place On Earth - Belinda Carlisle

waltzing matilda is aussie slang and does not mean someone named matlilda, i saw this in some "evelution of the english language" programme but can't remember exactly what it means.
EDIT: found this, http://www.anu.edu.au/people/Roger.C...M/WMTerms.html

Noxious Ninja · February 26th, 2004

Um. A lot of church hymns, and quite a few Weird Al songs. Also "Staring at the Sun" by The Offspring and The Devil Went Down to Georgia.

l3illyl3ob · February 26th, 2004

My memory is pure crap, so i dont remember much. I've been listening to a LOT of symphonic non-lyrical music (mostly video game music), so i've been really short on the lyrics lately, forgetting most of the songs i once knew. If i get going again sometime, i'd recall over a hundred songs i bet i knew lyrics to. This includes most all good heavy metal songs i listened to, which is quite a few.

Actually, you're wrong. The stretching is due to the camera angle and the letters are reflective. Take a look at the POVRay source for the scene.
