NAME THAT COCTEAUNE! - For Friday, April 24, 2026
Difficulty Level - MEDIUM
THE RULES:
- I listen to a Cocteau Twins song
- I attempt to transcribe the lyrics WITHOUT ANY AID OF LINER NOTES OR LYRICS WEBSITES (foolish....I know)
- You reply with your guess as to what the song is.
- Multiple guesses are allowed! HOWEVER, if a multiple guesser gets the correct answer within the same minute as another Redditor who has yet to guess, the Redditor guessing the song on their first guess WINS. If multiple Redditors who have already lobbed guesses get the correct answer within the same minute time stamp on my notifications, the Redditor I'm notified of first wins.
- The winner gets….honestly…nothing. Except bragging rights, a celebratory GIF, and a link to the song of the day.
[NOTE: Any lyrics I perceive that either name a good portion of the song title or is just the song title in whole will be blocked out with *CENSORED*. Text shown in italics wrapped in parentheses are just my snarky asides, usually about my shitty hearing.]
Round and round the wheel of random Cocteau goodness goes!
Where it stops? Nobody knows!
And it has stopped on...
This track which I will just get into and say nothing more.
-------------------------------
Southern trees bear *CENSORED* (whole song title)
Blood on the leaves and blood on roots
Like bodies swinging in the Southern breeze
*CENSORED* (whole song title) swinging from the poplar trees
And this song has no choruses, so you just get one verse today.
As always, I look forward to your guesses and snark.
