Now answer the questions according to the numbers:
What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
Back In Flesh
What is your favourite album of 2?
That's kind of hard, seeing as they're film scores. Probably The Nightmare Before Christmas, but maybe that's because of the awesome film. Or maybe it's because it's appropriate for Halloween AND Christmas! Also, Danny sings again, and it's not altered (oompa loompa Danny =/= happy listening...even if the music is good).
What is your favourite lyric that 5 has sung?
That's hard. All of their lyrics are epic. Have you heard Rock Lobster? I don't know.
How many times have you seen 4 live?
None, sadly.
What is your favourite song by 7?
Tough one! I have a few - I'd say it's betweenWhen You're Near Me I Have Difficulty and Scissor Man.
What is a good memory you have involving the music of 10?
It was good when I discovered them, I suppose.
Is there a song by 3 that makes you sad?
DoesWhip It count? I'm saddened whenever I think, "There are a lot of people who don't know any Devo other than this."
What is your favourite lyric that 2 has sung?
I'm not sure if his stuff with Oingo Boingo counts here. It would be a really hard choice if it did. Well, I'd like to choose a song that isn't really a song - Christmas Hell. I found it on a rarities site. I think it's a promo for The Nightmare Before Christmas.
"Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the well,
Oh what fun it is to ride
On a big sleigh straight to hell, oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to die,
I think I'll die today!"
It cracks me up every time. His creepiness (not forgetting his sinister, "HO HO HO!" at the end) is too epic.
What is your favourite song by 9?
Their songs are really boring me right now, so I can't really choose.
How did you get into 3?
This is a good one. Basically, my friend told me about Harry Potter Puppet Pals, which led to me watching more Neil Cicierega videos, which led me to see a video on his channel with him dancing to a Polysics song. I really got into Polysics, and I kept hearing how much they loved Devo. I listened to Devo, and BAM! Hello current music taste.
And Devo, I suppose. Hi Devo!
What was the first song you heard by 1?
Who Do You Want to Be? - first day of using last.fm. It was so catchy and energetic and fun and...no. No way.
*looks at first page of 'Recently Listened Tracks' in disbelief*
Crap! It wasLittle Girls! I always thought it was WDYWTB! I guess I'm just another one of the crowd...
What is your favourite song by 4?
Well, I recently got Kimono My House (NOT downloading - I went to a shop and bought it) and I pretty much love everything on there. DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE!
How many times have you seen 9 live?
None.
What is a good memory you have involving 2?
Finding out that he's THAT guy...and he's THIS guy! Basically, when I realised that the singer in Oingo Boingo was the one I saw in the credits of The Simpsons every night. Discovering that he was a redhead was also a nice surprise. I've got a friend who says he just shouldn't be ginger, but I beg to differ.
:D
Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad?
Not really.
What is your favourite album of 5?
I haven't listened to enough to know that.
What is your favourite lyric that 4 has sung?
Again, a band with fantastic lyrics. I just can't choose.
What is your favourite song of 10?
I've just decided that the majority of these questions are too hard. You can't beatHyakugojyuuichi 2003, though. What the hell is up with that?
How many times have you seen 8 live?
None.
What is your favourite album of 1?
They're all great. Usually, I prefer listening to live versions, but the songs on Nothing to Fear are great. I don't know why I asked for Only A Lad and Boingo for Christmas instead. I regret it now...but I'll make sure I buy it at some point!
What is a great memory you have considering 9?
None - I only recently discovered them, and I'm a little sick of them.
What was the first song you heard by 8?
Can't remember.
What is your favourite cover by 2?
I don't think Danny's done covers by himself. Does Christmas Hell count as a cover of Jingle Bells?
Go copy/paste this and do it yourself. Waste time. Have fun.
