Stump the genius with lyrics

At a party I overheard boasts being thrown about that someone knew the lyrics to any song... really? We're going there?

Look, no matter how many lyrics you think you know in your particular genre, there's always going to be some chump at a party who has friends who were in bands, or a great collection of obscure indie bands, or something. It was clearly my turn to be that chump.

I started with asking if he knew the lyrics to "Catnap" by Kaito the UK band. Then we went to "Why do you let me stay here" by She and Him. I feel strongly that you need at least three to make a pattern so I completed the pattern of failure with "Sometimes" by My Bloody Valentine (does anyone know all the words to that song?).

I've been there too. I thought I was suave until someone started hitting me with modern hip-hop lyric requests one day. Decidedly not my genre of choice you could make me a pattern of failure several city blocks long.

The bottom line is that if your brain is good enough with memorizing to remember every song out there, don't you think your time would be better spent solving world hunger or some other platform that wins beauty pageants in the interview portion? No, really, go save the world now and stop trying to impress people at parties please.
