Song Lyrics Quiz

[nengrelim]

1. Put your music player on shuffle/random and post the first lines from the first twenty-five songs that come up.
2. Strike through the lyrics as people guess the artist and song each line comes from. (Some of them will inevitably be from musicals, so I'll accept just the name of the musical for those.)

I only spot Jeffy Bizzle's Hallelujah and Teenage Kicks by the Undertones.

(Unless you secretly listen to Leonard Cohen)

[nengrelim]

I do listen to Leonard Cohen, but this isn't actually either version. It's newer still.

Rufus Wainwright?

[nengrelim]

Well done! ^^

Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Green Day

...we clearly don't listen to the same bands...

[nengrelim]

Hmm... possibly not. Shame that.

[llieno]

I've looked up most of the ones I don't know, and see a trend amongst the bands...I've never really entered into that genre, although not for any specific reason.

[nengrelim]

Mmm, I do have a definite trend going. Consequently, either no one will get many of them or someone will come along and get like all of them, I suspect. .

Although I think 24 is Faint?

[nengrelim]

Right you are, m'dear. I didn't know you listened to Jonathan Coulton? :)
