Hotel California

I'll use a phrase, since there is no chance of my coming up with a single word. I consider this ridiculously easy, but maybe only because it is one of the few songs I listen to.

shades of mediocrity

3iff · very unbifflike

Is that... The Boxer, Simon & Garfunkel? Actually I'm close but wrong...

Quailman · His Postmajesty

I don't think it's cheating to look at your guess first. It helped me remember Homeward Bound, which I am pretty sure of, but I will check first.

[edit] That's it.

Another word from the same song

astrophysicist

lexprod · NOT not a title

That would be close but no cigar

I was trying to think of the next one. It's Come Together by the Beatles.

Shineth

Quailman · His Postmajesty

Another word:

Dreamless

Sessie · Saucy Chica

I got it, but I cheated. I knew I knew it but I just couldn't make the leap.

I knew it from 'shineth' but didn't have anything else to offer. Ok, keeping with the same theme, how about

Jewry

Last was Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem.

(For an atheist, I know a TON of Christmas songs, including the second and third verses of many of them.)

lexprod · NOT not a title

It's not In the bleak midwinter is it?

And I'm in the same atheist/xmas song boat. Our high school vocal jazz group would carol at a local craft co-op each year, with nerdy 4-part harmony and nerdier dickensian costumes that the place provided. So cool.

I love harmony... I wish I was confident enough to join a choir/singing group

Zag · Tired of his old title

This is from memory -- someone else can check me.

God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ our savior is born on Christmas day,
To save us all from Satan's pow'rs when we were gone astray.
Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

In Bethlehem, in Jewry, the blessed babe was born.
And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn,
To which his mother Mary did nothing take in scorn.
Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

Somebody else can take the puzzle now. I'm out of ideas.

Quailman · His Postmajesty

ralphmerridew · Daedalian Member

The first line is "God rest ye merry, gentlemen".

Jack_Ian · Big Endian

Hint: Aussie anti-war song.

Sessie · Saucy Chica

Got it from Google. If no one gets it outright in a couple more days, I'll post a new one.

With the hint it was easy to figure out the band.. the song not so much Revenge most foul!

Jack_Ian · Big Endian

Well, that last comment even confused me, so I'll give another word just to narrow down the choices.

Billabong

Sessie · Saucy Chica

Google FTW: And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda. I read the rest of the lyrics...powerful stuff.

Respirator

The first band I thought of after hearing Aussie war song was Midnight Oil, and sure enough, they have a song with the following phrase:
"MIDNIGHT OIL - THE GREAT GIBBER PLAIN LYRICS
From Gallipoli's cliffs. To the banks of the Thames For those that are nameless. Does memory remain"

lexprod · NOT not a title

No clue on respirator, but had to add one I thought of today...

Bazootie

carrier_of_the_arch · Daedalian Member

Hi all,

Answer to bazootie: Hollywood Freaks- Beck

New word: Hiroshima

Jack_Ian · Big Endian

My first thought for these puzzles is always, "Is it in 'We Didn't Start The Fire', by Billy Joel?"

Quailman · His Postmajesty

Isn't that what made the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mutant? Aren't they called the Hiroshima Halfshells? Is that in their theme song?

Sentran · Ray of Sucking Funshine

carrier_of_the_arch · Daedalian Member

Lol, I haven't seen TMNT for a loooooooooooooong time Extreme Delectation

Hint: "It goes like this: the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift..." Think same songwriter, different song.

Ctorj · Did I spell that right?

*Bump

Another hint?

Hint #2: Two word title, the second is similar to a cartoon series from the makers of The Simpsons

Any clues for respirator and generator?

carrier_of_the_arch · Daedalian Member

Oh wait, was generator a hint? Sorry, my mistake if it was!

lexprod · NOT not a title

Sessie, yours isn't Hardware Store is it?

Lex, I'd been wondering the same thing, but didn't take the time to check the lyrics.
