I get down on my knees, I do anything for you...

The time to vote is nigh!

Yes, I apologize, but it is time to stop nominating songs and get on with picking them.

I just realized that in Thursday's post, I said I was going to do this "tomorrow" as in what is now yesterday or Friday. Whoops. I think I was anticipating the weekend being here a bit too early. I had a mental image of this happening on Saturday, but was thinking (or maybe just wishing) that I was posting that on a Friday. Talk about jumping the gun. My bad.

I have chosen one or two lyrics from each person who posited a challenge and now you all get to vote. Just pick your four favorites and tell me in the comments. Each of you can vote only once. And each of you can only vote on a single lyric once. No stacking by giving your lyric all four of your votes. In cases of ties, I will break them. It's my blog and I'm going to be the one writing these, so I have that right.

From Chase:

• "I leave you with photographs, pictures of trickery" (The Cure, "Disentegration")

From Brandon:

• "You know youre semi-good lookin and on the streets again" (Van Halen, "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love")

From BA:

• "But when they're held for pleasure, they're the balls that I like best" (AC/DC, "Big Balls")

From Suze:

• "So you can make me come, that doesn't make you Jesus" (Tori Amos, "Precious Things")
• "If you complain once more, you'll meet an army of me..." (Björk, "Army of Me")

From Claire:

• "Got time to wander, to waste, and to whine"  (Tegan & Sara, "My Number")

From Dagny:

• "The earth can be any shape that you want." (Thomas Dolby, "The Flat Earth")

From Hilly:

• "What if the cure is worse than the disease?" (Joan Osborne, "Dracula Moon")

From francesdanger:

• "Eep, ipe, ork, aha, that means I love you!" (Judy Jetson, "Eep ipe ork aha")
• "I remember hating you for loving me" (Berlin, "The Metro")

From Neil:

• "I can't believe it's happening to me. Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this" (Kelly Clarkson, "A Moment Like This") - I may have to chop this one in half. Kinda long.

From Alissa:

• "Wish I knew what you were looking for.  Might have known what you would find" (The Church, "Under the Milky Way")

From Karl:

• "I hope you know that this will go down in your permanent record." (Violent Femmes, "Kiss Off") - despite the fact he already made a video of himself to the tune of this song.

From Rick:

• "Letters I've written, never meaning to send..." (The Moody Blues, "Nights in White Satin")
  EDITED to change "Knights" to "Nights." That's my bad. Rick had it right and I thought I was correcting it. Whoops.

From Dustin:

• "And Webster, yeah Emmanuel Lewis, cause he's the anti-christ" (Bloodhound Gang, "Fire, Water, Burn")

From Anomie-Atlanta:

• "I am a rock. I am an island" (Simon & Garfunkel, "I Am A Rock")

From schrodingerskitten:

• "Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang" (Ross Bagdaserian, "Witch Doctor")

From C(h)ristine:

• "Ground Control to Major Tom!" (David Bowie, "Space Oddity")

From Allison:

• "See them with their trousers off they're never quite as grand" (Les Miserables soundtrack, "Lovely Ladies")

From rennratt:

• "Fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin' world go round" (Queen, "Fat Bottomed Girls")

From The Lyrics 'ho' (AKA Jacquie or Jax):

• "I've been thinking about my doorbell, when ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it?" (The White Stripes, "My Doorbell")

From Nat:

• "Got a hair cut, got a silver tooth" (Gomez, "Gonna Get Myself Arrested")

From Chanakin:

• "The interior smells real bad 'cause my friend puked in the back" (Adam Sandler, "Piece of Shit Car")

There you have them. I will give you until Monday at noon (CDT) to vote. Now I have to go open the gym.

I would say Karl's but after the video, I think he has the market on that whole song now, LMAO.

I chose who I did because I think their lyrics would make awesome post titles, not based on how much I heart them, although Chase does stalk me so I had to pick her ;)
