Music Meme Thing
As written by Carolyn:
STEP 01 - Load up all your music in your music player and hit shuffle.
STEP 02 - Post the first line of the first 50 songs that pop up.
STEP 03 - Let everyone take a guess at the artist and song.
STEP 04 - ONLY CHEATERS USE GOOGLE!! D:<
STEP 05 - READY SET GO.
(These last two steps make no sense to me)
Just so people know, this is the first time I actually heard some of these songs. I have far more Dylan/Beatles/Incubus/Poe than I ever listen to (as I rarely listen to any of those groups despite having a lot of MP3s of theirs). The first line was based on the first line listed at LyricWiki.
01 - "In the middle of the night..." ---Billy Joel, "River of Dreams"
02 - "Goodnight, Sweetheart."
03 - "Let us be lovers well marry our fortune."
04 - "Imagine there's no heaven." ---John Lennon, "Imagine"
05 - "Coming at you."
06 - "I cannot take this anymore..."
07 - "One, two, three, four!"
08 - "Isn't it strange that a gift could be an enemy?"
09 - "Somewhere in the darkness there's a man they call 'the Skipper'..."
10 - "Well, you went uptown riding in your limousine..."
11 - "Sixteen years..."
12 - "I want to run. I want to hide."
13 - "Nobody feels any pain."
14 - "I am just a poor boy." ---Simon and Garfunkel, "The Boxer"
15 - "I woke up with a headache..."
16 - "If everybody has an ocean..."
17 - "I heard there was a secret chord..."
18 - "Don't you mess with a little girl's dream..."
19 - "I've lied to you.."
20 - "I think I'm gonna be sad. I think it's today, yeah."
21 - "There was a little boy, and there was a little girl."
22 - "Well, there was this movie I seen one time..."
23 - "Hey, Jude, don't make it bad." ---The Beatles, "Hey Jude"
24 - "Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnny Ray..." ---Billy Joel, "We Didn't Start the Fire"
25 - "Why can't people get along and love each other, Christmas Eve?" ---Avenue Q, "The More You Ruv Someone"
26 - "To resist is to piss in the wind."
27 - "If this is hell..."
28 - "From father to son..."
29 - "Today everything was fine fine fine..."
30 - "Thought that maybe we'd fall in love over the phone."
31 - "I would have given you all of my heart..."
32 - "Meet me in outer space."

34 - "Morning has broken, like the first morning." ---Cat Steven, "Morning has Broken"
35 - "Something in the way she moves..."
36 - "Hey Mr. Driver..."
37 - "I didn't want to do it, but I got too lonely."
38 - "So denied..." ---Eve 6, "Here's to the Night"
39 - "Some people stay far away from the door..."
40 - "All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)..." ---The Mamas & the Papas, "California Dreaming"
41 - "Desdemona, do not go to sleep."
42 - "It's been a hard day's night..." ---The Beatles, "A Hard Day's Night"
43 - "Well, I ride on the mailtrain babe."
44 - "Milk them chickens..."
45 - "It's very difficult to keep a line between the past and the present..."
46 - "Well, I stand up next to a mountain..."
47 - "Slow drag off a cigarette."
48 - "Crawling in my skin..." ---Linkin Park, "Crawling"
49 - "Humidity is rising."
50 - "Well, East Coast girls are hip..." ---The Beach Boys, "California Girls"
