Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line of lyrics for the first40 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
I think I'll do 25 instead. 40 is a little intimidating... Also, this isn't the steady 25, since I have audio books, wordless music, and songs in other languages that I don't know. So, these are the first 25 English-language songs.
...This will probably be easiest for
musesrealm and
khalla_almani, but other people should play too!
01. Over your shoulder, please don't mind me/If my eyes are falling onto your magazine
02. Every now and then you like to take it easy/Sit right back and view the situation.
03. Isn't it weird? Isn't it strange?/Even though we're just two strangers on this runaway train
04. She wore her hair in a long blonde braid/You thought she'd be easy to understand
05. So there I was over in Paris, drinking wine, eating cheese
06. I am the captain, and I have been told/That tomorrow we land and my ship has been sold
07. Something takes a part of me/Something lost and never seen Freak on a Leash by Korn. Guessed by
thessalian
08. Everybody else has closed their eyes/It's quiet as can be/everyone asleep until sunrise
09. Everybody knows what you're going through/Everybody's been there a time or two
10. High winds in northern sky will carry you away/You know you have to leave here/You wish that you could stay (HA.)
11. I left a man asleep in the nude/Pay in my pocket with lipstick and rouge
12. What gives a girl power and punch? Is it charm, is it poise? No it's hairspray!
13. The feeling of coming to no one there/You rip off my clothes as you rip up my life
14. Debbie just hit the wall/She never had it all/One Prozac a day/Husband's a CPA 1985 by Bowling for Soup. Guessed by
ardnaid
15. Hey hey hey sweet darlin', let's go dancing tonight/My clock has been ticking, it tells me the time is just right
16. Go to sleep you little baby/Go to sleep you little baby/Momma's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay
17. Hey, if can't find a way out of these problems then maybe we don't need this
18. I stood out here once before/With my heart held in my hands
19. If I should choose to live in my cocoon/Wrap myself in me and cry myself to sleep
20. GO!/So here we go again, another time but it feels the same/Got sick of waiting here We Still Kill The Old Way by Lostprophets. Guessed by
thessalian
21. A hundred days have made me older/Since the last time that I saw your pretty face Here Without You by Three Doors Down. Guessed by
ardnaid
22. When we were young the future was so bright/The old neighborhood was so alive The Kids Aren't All Right by the Offspring. Guessed by
ardnaid
23. Every single day I walk down the street/I hear people say, "Baby, so sweet!" Take Me or Leave Me, from RENT. Guessed by
ardnaid
24. Love put a warming hand in mine/Said, "I don't know, I like it just fine here." dialogue by Kathryn Morski/'Ski. Guessed by
de_nial
25. Life's a show and we all play our parts/And when the music starts we open up our hearts Something to Sing About from the Buffy Musical. Guessed by
thessalian
I will be very disappointed if some of these are not guessed. Others, not so much.
