Let's play, "The Beatles, Who, Misfits or Pixies"?
Post one line from a song by one of these bands and see if DU can guess the band. Bonus points if you know the song.

No cheating now.

I'll go first: The little thing who does my laundry speaks no English.

Where there were eyes there's only space.

You're second guess was correct as noted below.

19. I guess I never paid enough attention to the lyrics of that song
Should have gotten it though since I've listened to Surfer Rosa hundreds of times

4. Pixies - Broken Face
That was easy.

Here's mine:

You hide your looks behind these scars.

(This is my favorite song by this band)

29. Again I'm awful at my own game.
:rofl:

However, my theory that led to this thread that any one line from a random song from any of these bands can be confused for on of the other.

Here's another: I don't want no substitute

39. that's got to be Misfits...
I can't be sure, but I seem to have some foggy memory of playing a song with those lyrics in some highschool punk band, which narrows it down.

30. It's The Who
But I can't remember which song but I don't want to cheat and look up the song. Basically, that makes you my slave.

I don't make up the rules.

34. Here's what's going to happen
I'm going to write down on a piece of paper the things I want done. You're going to do the same. We'll pass each other the notes. We'll negotiate the items on my list.

I'm going to rip up what you've written because it doesn't matter anyways.
