Was the cover by 9IN a hit in the US?Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.

OK same band, last quote and then I'll spill it.
Actually, the last line is under debate apparantly. Most websites have it as "It's not an eclipse", which IMO is just plain silly. I really believe the quote above is what I hear sung, but I have been wrong with them before, so could be I guess (although ussually it would make more sense, not less).Nothing will hold,
nothing will fit

OK, I'll spill it and provide a new quote. There is also a new rule:
The quote thy offer shall posess some bearing to (on?) the one revealed by you.
The songs above were by a band called Joy Division. I can recommend anyone to listen to it, especially the album "Closer".
The songs were Leaders Of Men, Dead Sould (indeed) and Ice Age.
Here goes, name artist, title and, if you can, what the relationship is with the quote above. You may also do a 1000+ word paper explaining what this song is about:Driving down those city streets,
Waiting to get down,
Won’t you get your big machine,

C'mon! No one remembers that one? What about this one, same artist, but you gotta name both!and this should be a real give away!Strange, he shadows me back home,

Grace Jones - I've seen that face before
edit: and the first one is 'Pull up to the bumper, baby'Comment

And here is a difficult one (I think; I took the chorus to make it easier):
Five days you work
One whole day to play
Come on everybody, wear your rollerskates today
It’s saturday, saturday
Saturday, it’s saturday
Saturday, it’s saturday
Saturday, it’s saturday-ay
(is the word, is the word, is the word)

And the link between Grace Jones and Joy Division?Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.

Just guessing here... she covered a Joy Division hit?
The thread is called 'song quote thread', not 'link between artists thread' !
JörgComment

Yep. She did a cover of one of their best songs She's Lost Control. Correct on thread title too, you're on a roll here! But I thought it'd be nice to demand that the quote you offer has a relation to the one you guessed (see post #185).

oh... euhm... oops... Haven't seen that rule... You seem to make up the rules as we go along!
Is 'the singers have the same skin colour' considered a link?
Probabely not, so here is the solution: it was De La Soul - A roller skating jam named "Saturdays"
So this is the new one:
(and there is a link with Grace Jones)First time in years, to drench you skin with lovers’ rosy stain
A chance to find the phoenix for the flame,
A chance to die..

Hmm, must have been a difficult one... Let's add some text:
(the title goes where the BLEEP is)The choice for you is the BLEEP.
Between the shades, assassination standing still.
The first crystal tears
Fall as snowflakes on your body,
First time in years,
To drench your skin with lover's rosy stain.

A chance to die, but can we

OK, well as no one guessed it, I get to take over.
Not that recent, but might be "actual" (what's the english word for "Aktueel" here?)
Name Title, Artist and provide a new quote with at least some link to this one (subject, artiusit, title or whatever).
Do you remember
The time of laughter
Children playing, life was so sweet
Before our city forgot us
And let the druglord take our street
Pacify me politician
Pacify me with your lies
Blind to the people suffering

FWIW, mine was "A view to a kill", by Duran Duran... (I totally forgot this question was still open )
It was the James Bond theme of the movie where Grace Jones was a bond girl...
