Given an adjective, pick a song that fits it perfectly!

[YDload]

Just another fun lil' game I thought up, hope it works. All that happens is: someone posts an adjective, and the next person thinks of a song that the adjective can be used to describe. Ex:

"jittery" -> "The Dismemberment Plan- Girl O'Clock" (ironically, not "The Jitters" because that song's way too slow to fit the mood).

A few guidelines: focus on adjectives that describe what the song sounds like, not what you think it's about, or anything completely stupid.

-don't post a song that is named after that adjective. so if someone posts "crazy," don't post that Britney Spears/Patsy Cline/Gnarls Barkely/Aerosmith song. Violators will be beaten to death :mad:

Have fun! First adjective:

bouncy

[masada]

The Smiths - "Frankly, Mr. Shankly"

narcoleptic

[YDload]

narcoleptic:

Minus The Bear- Get Me Naked 2: Electric Boogaloo

at first i thought this was a dumb adjective (narcoleptic), but then i realized here was the perfect song! whew that was a close one!
