E.T.A. I reckon that 5 of the ones still yet unguessed are songs released in the past 12 months or so. Sorry, if that makes the ageing hippies on my friends list struggle! :P

19. Hurt by Nine Inch Nails (although you're using the lyrics from the Johnny Cash version, cause the correct line is "I wear this crown of shit")

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Yep, but I like that version better! :P

[d-and-cats.livejournal.com]

Sacrilege! Why, that's like saying you like Tori Amos' cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit better than Nirvana's original!

*Looks at play list*

Um, never mind.

No, but I'm quite fond of the mashed up version of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' where they mix it with Destiny's Child's 'Bootylicious'. ;)
