Well, #4 and #17 seem familiar (especially #17) but can I think of the title or artist? That'd be a no!! *sigh* But then, I've never been good at putting titles to music!

[greyias]

A good portion of these are Top 40, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if you've heard 'em ;)

[greyias]

Mayyyyyyyybe.

(For one of them.)

...I need to listen to more music, apparently! Only #17 seems familiar - Pink, "Get This Party Started", right?

[greyias]

My pop stations comfort me during my long commutes in traffic. Seriously, I have the music tastes of a teenager.

Only #17 seems familiar - Pink, "Get This Party Started", right?

You are correct! Actually, there's a few others where the title is in the lyric.

Is #13 Aretha? I can hear a few lines of it in my head, but I can't get to the title!

[greyias]

Yep, it's definitely Aretha! (Not sure if I'm allowed to give any more hints ;)

[aelfgyfu_mead]

Dang! It was "RESPECT"! I thought it was a different one, and that I just couldn't remember which!

Holy crap, if this is all mainstream music, then I think I need to get out more. The only one I recognize is #12 - Northwest Passage by Stan Rogers. Is it cheating if the title is in the lyrics? :)

That's it!

Nope, not cheating at all ;) Several of them actually have the title in the lyric.

I guess mainstream may be a teeny bit misleading, as they're not all on the Billboard Charts now, but they have been in the past. But with the exception of, hrm, three or four, all of these have had serious radio play time on either Top 40, Country, or Rap stations.

Okay, I lied :)

#2 is by Tara MacLean, Holy Tears. I'm thinking someone may have been a Due South fan. . . NOW I don't recognize any more. I promise.

[greyias]

D'aww, but it's fun when people recognize them!

Hee! Just a little bit. I love both of those soundtracks to death, and it depends on which day of the week which one is my favorite of the two.
