Lyrical Titles Bingo

[thisbluespirit]

Pretty much the last thing I need right now is another bingo, but this idea from lyricaltitles was such a nice one I couldn't resist! There's no penalties, posting is from Sept-Dec, so maybe I can tie it into no_true_pair, and origfic is allowed, so I can always just use my rainbowfic entries. (You have to use a lyric from a song as specified in the prompt as the title for your fic. Min. 100 words.)

90's song	Nursery rhyme	Meme song	Angry song	Lyric with "love" or "hate"
Pre-1900 song	Romantic song	Last line of a song	Breakup song	00's song
War song	Song in a language other than English	FREE SPACE	Folk song	Lyric with "sleep" or "wake"
Pre-1950's song	Song with a title six or more words long	Chart-topper	80's song	Lyric with "red" "green" or "blue"
Fast song	First line of a song	Lyric with "remember" or "forget"	Song with a color in the title	Line from the chorus

… Wow this is honestly really cool!

( How do you find are these things? And are you * trying * to tempt me?? 😳 😂)

[thisbluespirit]

LOL, I just find them on fandomcalendar - and I keep giving into temptation myself, that's all. Tbf, it is more fun that way... ;-)

Nice! A good way to solve the problem of finding titles for fic or blame the bingo for poor ones;p

[thisbluespirit]

Yes, although now I have to hunt out song lyrics! I should just be lazy and ask people to give me some to go with it, lol. XD

THE BINGO MADE ME CHOOSE THESE TERRIBLE LYRICS OMG. totally wasn't me.

[liadt]

Pretty much all my tolkien100 prompts come from lyrics from songs that are played on the radio these days, which is handy!

[thisbluespirit]

Yeah, which would be fine apart from the fact that I have to be very careful about listening to music so cycle round between a handful of quiet songs that don't kill me on YT. But I do have some useful sites where you can find songs on x topic from when I used to vid, if they're still there. And some of my handful might count.

Or I will come back and beg you all for lyrics in the next month or so, heh.

[liadt]

*hugs*

I shall furnish you with all the lyrics, if you dare!

[thisbluespirit]

Oh, I will take lyrics! Whether or not I use them, being a contrary soul is another question, but I will be grateful. ♥

[liadt]

Some lyrics! Warning: best to find the lyrics on google than listen to them.

"On the neon, neon side of town," Wig - B52's (80s)
Am I Blue? (standard) written by Harry Akst (1929)
Free your Body (Injected with a Poison) - Praga Kahn (I think it's fast! old skool rave choon)
Verehrt Euren Haarschnitt (Honour Your Haircut); Als Wärs Das Letzte Mal = Like It Was The Last Time both by DAF (German). Good for "love/leibe" titles too.
War - Henry Cow (er, war, quote off google: "A song that tells "of how war appeared on earth" in mythic style.")
It's Over - Roy Orbison (break up)
I Hate you - The Monks
There's a ghost in my house - R Dean Taylor
"Can I Have it All," the last line of Suspended in Gaffa - Kate Bush
"A Figure Walks Behind you" first line from A Figure Walks Behind You by The Fall.
Angry song = 85% of The Fall's output, lol.

Aw, thanks! You never know! ♥ Funnily, seeing these helps get my brain going with how to find some more as well. These rusty gears of mine needed oiling, heh. <3

[liadt]

My pleasure for providing the brain oil:D

But thought of you:

"he was late to the kickline because he had to go back for his hat"

Re: Off-topic

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, that's great! <3

(I must have seen it before, because I'd already liked it, but I have no memory of it whatsoever. lol)

[scifirenegade]

This is such a cool idea! Good luck!

I may not start another bingo card

And yeah, it's great to find titles for fics, but another problem comes up: finding the songs lol

[thisbluespirit]

Yes, that had occurred to me, too! lol
