You know what this icon means, right?

[mugglechump]

That's right, it's the power ballad icon of music memery. It's been a month and a half since I last posted a music meme *GASPSHOCK* and I think it's time I did it again.

Note to GINA: You told me to poke you then next time I did this because you've missed the last couple. Just remember you told me to bug you, because I plan to.

Note to URS: There are at least a couple you ought to know.

I just heard the song :)

[castoffstarter.livejournal.com]

HA! I’ve come to answer your call! I only haven’t answered yet because of those evil papers of doom. Now I have time and can concentrate and figure these out. And fyi, some of them are really stumping me. I am a little excited about that.

4) Bon Jovi - Wild in the Streets
6) Blondie - In the Flesh
7) Time of the Season – I know we’ve been over this one before, but I still can’t remember who sings it.
12) I Can’t Explain – I just put this on a mix, I don’t even know who sings it. =/
13) Awful – Hole (Are we the only ones who have an abject love for Courtney?)
18) Cryin’ In the Rain – The Everly Brothers
21) So far – Buckcherry (God, I love this man. He’s such a sexual beast!)
22) Nick Lachey? Kate, what am I going to do with you? Seriously. *shakes head*
24) BANANARAMA! I don’t know the song name but who cares?! It’s BANANARAMA!
25) WHAT IF THAT GUY FROM SMASHING PUMPKINS LOST HIS CAR KEYS? – Stephen Lynch (You win so hard for this song. I was prepared this time, I watched for Lynch on the list.)
26) Music When The Lights Go Out – The Libertines (Have I mentioned I am loving this band? I have them on right now.)
37) Can You Move It Like This? – Baha Men (Wow, how I know this song is baffling to me.)
39) Attractive Today – MCS
42) Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts – Arctic Monkeys
45) Peepshow – Souxsie and the Banshees(?)
48) Tried to be True – Indigo Girls

I kind of failed this test, Kate. I have so many that I didn’t answer. And I know I know some of them, but my brain is so shut off that I can’t figure them out. I am most displeased with myself.

I am now going to dl that music you uploaded, fear not. *mopes away*
