Music meme
... At which I sucked. Got from eskoala
1. Put your music player on random.
2. Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
3. Let everyone guess what song and artist (or musical) the lines come from.
4. Embolden the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
So here's the list. Some of them, I have given the first two lines (tempting as it was to leave one with the single word I). Some of the stuff that came up I forgot was on there, the result of bunging on a couple of compilation albums and forgetting about them. I was surprised that some of the newer music I have on it didn't crop up... and then I remembered it was on the SD card which I had taken out of the player. :)
[ETA: Number 6 is a cover by someone who is incredibly ubiquitous on TV these days; Number 15 is a bit obscure, but the artist is someone you will definitely have heard of, being one of the most famous musicians of the past 45 years or so; Number 11, I would have thought, was pretty obvious; Number 13 is a cover, the altered lyrics from the original giving a clue to the group who are also responsible for one of the other tracks.]
