Music Meme. Play?

[mis_creation]

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line of lyrics for the first 40 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.

14. 1985 - Bowling for Soup
21. Here Without You - Three Doors Down
22. The Kids Aren't Alright - The Offspring
23. Take Me Or Leave Me - RENT (I just watched the move last night :o )

There's a few on there that look familiar but I can't place them. :( And now I want to do this meme. Maybe I will.

P.S. Something in your code is messed up. :(

[mis-creation.livejournal.com]

Hee. Correct on all counts. And I love your icon. Fixed the code as soon as I saw it. Thanks for playing!

[ardnaid.livejournal.com]

Yay! I wasn't sure about 21, I always confuse Three Doors Down and Three Days Grace, so it could have been the other. Silly names being too similar.

7) Korn - Freak on a Leash
20) Lostprophets - We Still Kill The Old Way
22) Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright
25) Once More With Feeling (Buffy soundtrack) - "Something To Sing About"

[mis-creation.livejournal.com]

Correct on all counts. Though technically seven is Richard Cheese covering Freak on a Leash, but you can't tell that from the lyrics...

[ardnaid.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, how did I miss 25? I feel such shame right now.

[mis-creation.livejournal.com]

Bad fangirl! Bad, bad fangirl!

But I forgive you. *hug*

I'm thinking #3 is Hanson I just can't remember the title.

[mis-creation.livejournal.com]

Tis. Title is in the first line. It's part of my "nostalgia" playlist.

[drieana.livejournal.com]

my sister used to be the biggest hanson fan. That was a song I actually didn't mind

[de-nial.livejournal.com]

#24: It's a song by your aunt and cousin. I toally know it, I'm just forgetting the title. Hang on, let me think a sec. Conversations? I think that's it... Well, anyway, at least I know the song.

[mis-creation.livejournal.com]

Close enough. I'll give it to you. It's "dialogue". Thanks for playing!

[de-nial.livejournal.com]

Damnit! I knew it was something like that... Oh well, at least I got close.
