First Lines Music Meme
OH, GOD! WHY? WHY AM I DOING THIS? This is the honest to goodness first fifteen random songs from my iTunes tonight (except I took out the cajun stuff and the five songs with the title in the first line). Because I am OMG OLD! and listen to music that no one else does I JUST DON'T KNOW. A few of these seem simple and the rest, well good luck to you all. Have fun, if nothing else you can point and laugh!
(Yes, of course you could Google these, what's the fun in that...just mock me instead)
ETA: YOU GUYS! I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! I'm trying to think of hints for the rest but will wait a bit. Links are to DLs on Megaupload. Comment if there is something you want in particular.
1) Headin' for the station with a pack on my back
I'm tired of transportation in the back of a hack
Choo Choo Ch'Boogie - Louis Jordan (and half the known universe) gyzym
Bonus: Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens which, by tradition, is the first song I play on any new sound/stereo equipment!
2) Sherry had a pawn shop band of gold,
A sink full of dishes and a love grown cold
Broke Down - Slaid Cleaves vickita who got the artist and would have gotten the song with enough caffeine!

Out of nowhere A hippie band came around
