That's hilarious, Jon! And cool!
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Awesome, Jon!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay Jon!
ION, has anyone tried LyricRat? You enter what lyrics you can remember for a song you want to find, and it searches for you....
I searched for "just like sister ray said" and it correctly flagged that as the VU's "Sister Ray." OK, maybe that was too easy as I used the song title in the search. Am now searching on "two cats in the yard" and it's been running the search for several minutes without returning results yet....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I tried "i want to walk around with you" on LyricRat and it failed to find the song ("Summertime Clothes" by Animal Collective).
I had to rerun the search on "two cats in the yard" but this time it did find the song.

Because books.
Yeah, Google always works fine for me with lyrics.

Yeah, I think I'll stick to google. I also tried "she's got a black belt in karate" and it was the 5th match on LyricRat, but the first on google. (google also found the correct Animal Collective song as its first match for "i want to walk around with you".)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The lyric from the Flaming Lips song is "She's a black belt in karate", no "got".

LyricRat couldn't identify a single Siouxsie or old Cure song I tried. I mean, "Face to Face" starts:
Face to face My lovely foe
I tried "my lovely foe" and got 5 hip-hop songs with "foe" in the title. Bah.

Oopsie!

Yeah, Lyric Rat seems to weigh "popularity" higher than "close match."
Bastards!
