Together in electric dreams.

Others ring no bells (might if I heard them)

I don't know I kinda like about 10% of her stuff :-)

I know of Little Shop of Horrors. The song is a mystery to me still.

Riiiight. Hmm. Ever watch The Crow? (****ing awesom film BTW...) The guy 
only plays a few notes, yet it sounds amazing. WTH?

Another song I'm not terribly fond of - yet seems to be greatly popular.

Hey, that reminds me of a couple of other songs that didn't make it into 
my list. (Something about "ride a white swan" - the rest made no sense. 
Oh, and "riding down a bumpy hillside, in your hippie hat"... well, you 
know the rest.)

And I'd know it's a cover because...?

And what's a Manfred Man?

Erm... Well Heather Small I've never even heard of by name. Of the 
others, I would say none of them have particularly "distinctive" voices. 
The style of the music might give you a clue, but beyond that...

Now that dude from the Petshop Boys. WHO could ever mistake THAT voice? 
Seriously, even when he talks normally it sounds like a synthesizer...

I remember my useless complaints to a friend's friend. She just said 
"wats rong wid the wai i rite" or something like that. Sure, ders noting 
rong, go on like that. Let me know when you hand in homework written 
that way :)

I liked much of the stuff on Ray of Light. My dad has some other album, 
and apart from track #1, it's all yawn-inducing...

I like 2 or 3 of her very old songs and a couple from Ray of Light, and
that's it.

OK, how about these...


The moon upon the ocean
Is swept around in motion,
But without ever knowing
The reason for its flowing.


This door is heavy, and is deeply stained
With wasted tears that tried to fight in vain.
You may be sitting feeling quite secure,
But listen carefully and this key is yours,
For we can lead you far beyond the door.


Lipstick-clean,
Hexachlorophine,
Cling-cling-aling,
Clang-clang she sang.


This could lead to excellence,
Or serious injury.
Only one way to know:
Go, go, go.

Er... OK, you win. :-|
