23. "I feel so extraordinary, something's got a hold on me"
True Faith, New Order

24. "Say your prayers little one, dont forget, my son"
Enter Sandman, Metallica (my favourite song of theirs)

28. "As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent, you asked for the latest party"
Diamond Dogs, David Bowie (it and #9, Nature Boy, were in Moulin Rouge)

[identity profile] angelophile.livejournal.com 2006-06-23 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Correct! I can't remember Diamond Dogs in Moulin Rouge but I'll take your word for it.

[identity profile] tadiera.livejournal.com 2006-06-23 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't remember where it is (might just be flavour music, during one of the scenes in the Moulin Rouge)... actually! Yes! It's one of the first Moulin Rouge scenes, where the women (not the main character) first walk out.

I just know it's on the soundtrack, which is how I have it. ;)

4 is Baba o'Reilly by The Who.

Er... I was gonna say no, but it turns out you're right. I only know the song as Teenage Wasteland. Weird. You learn something new every day.

Another guess from Winkly Wells!

Well, 26 is from the Cure's "Just Like Heaven" but somehow I don't know any of the others that haven't already been guessed.

1 - Autumn Soup - Kristy MacColl
25 - Footloose - Kenny Loggins

#1 I know because you turned me on to the song some time ago, and I got a copy.
#25 I know because it was hideously overplayed on MTV back in the day.

Correct! I thought I'd posted the Kirsty MacColl song so I thought someone might get it. Glad someone was paying attention. ;)

Hey Angelophile!

How's it?

I reckon # 20 is The Arctic Mokeys - I bet you look good on the Dancefloor you dirty little slut.

Am I right?

You are right. As right as right can be.
