Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first lines from the first 15 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.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING
I'm only counting songs with words that I can reliably reproduce (most of the songs are in English, one is in Scots-- whoever gets #15 gets major bonus points from me, because dude. Scots.)
1. What ravages of spirit / conjured this tempetuous rage / created you a monster / broken by the rule of love You Do What You Have to Do, by Sarah McLachlan, guessed by yjd
2. She says forget what you have to do / pretend there is nothing outside this room / and like and idea she came to me / but she came too late, or maybe too soon
3. Star trekkin' across the universe / on the Starship Enterprise, under Captain Kirk / star trekkin' across the universe / boldly going forward, 'cause we can't find reverse
4. However you feel / whatever it takes / whenever it's real / whatever awaits me Spit on a Stranger by Nickel Creek, guessed by yjd
5. Sure that star can twinkle / and you're watching it do / boy so hard / boy so hard / but I know a girl twice as hard Twinkle, by Tori Amos, guessed by theotherchicago
6. To my dear dear mother / I leave my only shoes / to my dear dear mother / I live my only shoes Xylophone, by the Magnetic Fields, guessed by theotherchicago
7. The sad tale of the Beauxhommes! / A history lesson: / Ti Moune pledged her life for Daniel, Daniel Beauxhomme / a boy from another world! The Sad Tale of the Beauxhommes, from Once on this Island, guessed by scarletlilly105
8. In Santa Monica / in the wintertime / the lazy streets so undemanding / I walk into the crowd Santa Monica, by Savage Garden, guessed by theotherchicago
9. Maybe I'm the afterglow / 'cause I'm with the band, you know / don't you hear the laughter on the way down? Way Down, by Tori Amos, guessed by theotherchicago
10. Is this the togetherness she meant / so rosy / I thought we'd share a continent / so cozy
11. Though dark is the night / and narrow the way / though the tempest may rage / and chill to the bone
12. Four who shared this room / we were caught up in the crowd / sleepin' late on Sundays / and we never got to mass
13. With one light on / in one room / I know you're up / when I get home
14. In 1933, off in Washington D.C. / Roosevelt created the CCC / like nothin' we'd ever seen
15. Awa', Whigs, awa' / Awa', Whigs, awa' / ye're but a pack of traitor louns /Ye'll do nae guid at a'
