JFRO'S FAVORITE LYRICS


This was from a Facebook post by Outlaw Renegade Radio that I saw on K. R.W.'s Facebook feed. Not sure what constitutes "one line", but I don't really care. Can you name all the songs? Answers are linked at the end. 

  • "But there's no danger, it's a professional career, though it could be arranged, with just a word in Mister Churchill's ear."
  • "Now up jumped the U.S. representative, he's the one with the tired eyes, 747 put him in that condition, flyin' back from a peacekeepin' mission."
  • "If I could stand to be on my own, then I would probably just leave you alone."
  • "Why is the bedroom so cold, you've turned away on your side."
  • "I drank a jar of coffee, And then I took some of these."
  • "He lies on his side, is he trying to hide, in fact it's the earth, which he's known since birth."
  • "I'm all lost in the supermarket, I can no longer shop happily, I came in here for the special offer, guaranteed personality."
  • "A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac, feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away."
  • "She ain't nothin nice, undercover vice done picked her up twice."
  • "I’m a collector of things that most folks ignore, one man’s ceiling is another man’s floor."
  • "I remember, ooh, how the darkness doubled, I recall, lightning struck itself."
  • "You ask what is this? Mind your business."
  • "Some people go to bed with Lucifer, then they cry, cry, cry when they don't greet the day with God."
  • "See, I remember you when you were the young new face but you do like to slumber, don’t you?"
  • "Well, the moonlight ain't so great (since you're gone)"
  • "The halls smell like piss, the rooms are underlit, still it must be nice, you're such a perfect fit"
  • "Let's drive to the factory that thrived when plastic was a fad, we'll throw rocks at the seagulls and sit along the blackened riverside."
  • "I knew that you loved me, guess I was mistaken, twilight is the only love I know."
  • "I loved you, well never mind."
  • "I can't still be drunk at five, oh, I guess I surely can."
  • "You're a flame that never fades, jungle red's a deadly shade."
  • "This wheel spins, let me off, It's not the lack of trying, can't put my finger on it.""
  • What's this ol' world comin' to, things just ain't the same, anytime the hunter gets captured by the game.
  • "I am a patient boy, I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait, my time is like water down a drain."
  • "Why do good things never wanna stay, some things you lose, some things you give away."
  • "And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God, and I'd get him to swap our places."
  • "Knock down the old grey wall, be a part of it all, nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do."
  • "Last week my life had meaning, it was beautiful and so sweet."
  • "Someone tell me why I do the things that I don't wanna do, when you're around me, I'm somebody else"

The answer key is here.

I MADE YOU A GIF

 This GIF brought to you by andythebeagle , Gfycat , and Memecenter . I was looking for a reaction GIF of obscure Looney Tunes character Sniffles the Mouse and I couldn't find one I liked, so I made this one. Sniffles the Mouse was the DJ name I gave myself because my voice is so lousy for radio. Now that I know how, I must keep creating them to ensure that 90% of GIFs are no longer from Disney's Frozen . What will they be from? Flash Future Kung Fu? 1990: The Bronx Warriors? Sweet Smell of Success? The Valley of Gwangi? The Masque of the Red Death? Garzey's Wing? Any requests, dear readers?

TOP MUSIC GENRES FOR YOUR CYBERPUNK GAME

So I guess cyberpunk is hot again. I don't play those newfangled video games, but all this fanfare made me remember my old Cyberpunk 2020 days, when I was Jael Furoshiki, Japanese/Jewish survivor of of a destroyed South China Sea pirate pack trying to make a living in the Minneapolis Red Zone as a bodyguard/food delivery technician (yes, both a pirate and an ninja).  Later she got ported to Interface Zero , which got rid of some of the anachronisms and C2020's crazy-high fatality rate (there used to be a page dedicated to players' favorite deceased characters, sadly now lost to even the Wayback Machine). Anyway, one time I made up musical genres my character would listen to--can't find my old character sheets, but this gives you the idea...

MY BUBBLE

This is real heavy metal, by the way . So, this guy whose name I swear I'd never heard but appeared to have gone to my high school tried to friend me on Facebook. His main interests were the band Stryper and Republicanism, so I didn't add him. I mean, really, Stryper ? I thought teens in the 80s only listened to them because they liked metal and their parents forbade any other band as a direct path to the worship of Satan. When you leave home, you throw away their records and listen to real metal. But then I read this article that said we are all getting trapped in a bubble of like-minded people who parrot our ideas back to us, due to social networks and rss feeds and apps only giving us the people/opinions/stories we want to hear. And I thought--maybe I was wrong. Or maybe I'm OK, because I do have a lot of weird interests that make it pretty hard to find people who are on the same page with everything. I have social network connections with people around roleplaying game...
