Hi and welcome to Rock 'n Roll Fridays. We are like other memes in that we will ask you thirteen questions each and every Friday. But our little "twist" is that each week we will pick an singer, band, era or category and pick thirteen of their lyrics. Each of our questions will be based on the lyrics. Got it? Great! Let's begin this week's meme!Today we picked Nirvana. The song titles are in caps. Both the titles and the lyrics are in bold. Here's Rock 'n Roll Fridays!
1. ALL APOLOGIES
I wish I was like you
Easily Amused
Find my nest of Salt
Everything is my fault.
Is there a very popular form of entertainment most other people enjoy that does not amuse you?
2. COME AS YOU ARE
Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach, as I want you to be.
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memory. Aahhh.
What is the worst beauty or health product or regime you have ever tried?
3. DUMB
We’ll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we’ll come down
And have a hangover.
What is your mind-bender of choice?
4. DON’T WANT IT ALL
He had removed us
All the styles of heresy
Finally he appeared unexpectedly
Looking for the company.
Who in your family would you like to see more of?
5. HALF THE MAN I USED TO BE
I’m half the man I used to be
This feeling as the dawn
It fades to gray.
What part of your physical body has changed the most in the past 10 years?
6. HEART SHAPED BOX
She has me like a Pisces when I am weak
I’ve been locked inside your heart shaped box for weeks.
Do you resemble the attributes of your birthsign?
7. LITHIUM
Sunday morning is every day for all I care.
And I’m not scared.
Light my candles in a daze cause I found god.
If you are a spiritual person, what is your favorite ritual or part of church service?
8. RAPE ME
Hate me. Do it and do it again.
Waste me, rape me my friend.
What rebellious act have you committed?
9. LOVE GUN
I really love you baby. I love what you’ve got.
Let’s get together we can get hot.
No more tomorrow baby, time is today.
Girl I can make you feel okay.
What is your favorite first date activity?
10. SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT
With the lights out, it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us.
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us.
Would you rather go to a movie, a concert, or the theater?
11. STAIN
Well he never bleeds and he never fucks
And he never leaves cuz he’s got bad luck
Well he never reads and he never draws
And he never sleeps cuz he’s got bad luck.
What are you afraid to try for fear of failure?
12. OH ME
I can’t see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
And store it deep inside of me.
What will you be doing when you are 75 years old?
13. ABOUT A GIRL
I’m standing in your line.
I do hope you have the time
I do pick up number 2
I do keep a date with you.
Have you considered (or when you were single), having a one night stand?
Thanks for checking out our Friday craziness. We hope you join us again. Please visit our other player's posts and make a comment. Join us next week for our next meme!

Artist next week: The Monkees!
Isn't #5 by Stone Temple Pilots?
ReplyDeleteThis is my first attempt at rock n roll friday...thanks for the questions
ReplyDeleteThanks Janera for hosting this Rock'n'Roll party. Great way to end the week :)
ReplyDeletenumber 5 is stone temple pilots not Nirvana
ReplyDeleteWhoops! Thanks for the head's up on the STP song. It has been controversial whether it is Nirvana or not. STP sounds SO MUCH like Nirvana in this piece. Forgive me! Our main resource for lyrics had this in the list incorrectly and we should have caught it. We will be more careful in the future. Hope you enjoyed playing the meme anyway! : )
ReplyDeleteGood Catch Erin...
ReplyDeleteI freakin love Rock N Roll Fridays...Any chance on having an Alice in Chains week???
Hi Christiejolu...we may have them in a month or so... there are so many groups and we are trying to span the decades back to the 1950s. : ) Thanks again everyone for playing!
