I picked up the little song meme from Eleanor, where you put down the first line of the first 20 songs on your iTunes shuffle. It went poorly, but the songs chosen were kind of amusing.

Little things I should have said and done, I never took the time
Ladies and gentlemen, let's put our hands together for the astonishing
To pretend no one can find
David Bowie came to town

Electrify, across the floor
There are many things that I would be proud of
I know I won't be leaving here with you
I've got to get a job

Jenny was sitting in the lounge
I'm in the business of misery
Everyone's dressed in the scenery
The day you move

Watch it now, watch it now,
Nine years old and crawling out the house
Punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate
I begin as you come in

Hey, this is John
How are things on the West Coast?
Elle se lève dans l'ombre
I don't understand

Bizarrely, few of these are the things they should be. They're all covers and remixes, so I put the songs below.
