Step 1: Put your MP3 player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) of the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: NO CHEATING.

1. I know you want me
   Cant run away, cant run away from me
   I'll navigate the seven seas just to find you



2. A long, long time ago, I can still remember how that music used to make me smile.



3. Blue sky and yellow sun
   Paint the streets and the avenues
   You float over everyone
   In your rings and your wing-tip shoes



4. I've been to all the familiar places
   I've been running like a sentence never begun
   I've been looking for a way to let you know



5. Ray man eh bidh jog kamaa-o
   Singee saach akapat kanthalaa



6. The camera pans
   a cocktail glass
   behind a blind of plastic plants
   I find the lady with a fat diamond ring
   then you know I can't remember a damn thing



7. Piece by piece
   I release
   once was mine now undone
   turned blue like New Orleans



8. Faith pours from your walls
   Drowning your calls
   I’ve tried to hear
   You’re not near



9. Alo, Salut, sunt eu, un haiduc,
   Si te rog, iubirea mea, primeste fericirea.
   Alo, alo, sunt eu Picasso,
   Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic,
   Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.



10. Here I am again in this mean old town, and you're so far away from me



11. I see you crying and it rains
    Washing away the bad days
    Washing away the pain loss brings yeah



12. One time to know that it's real
    One time to know how it feels
    That's all
    One call - your voice on the phone
    One place - a moment alone
    That's all



13. No one knows what I can see
    And what I see it pleases me
    On my roof



14. These mist covered mountains are home now for me
    But my home is the lowlands and always will be



15. Gaavai ko taan hovai kisai taan
    Gaavai ko daat jaanai neeshaan



16. I wouldn't mind but she just turned up on the doorstep
    Wistful and ashen, slightly bedraggled



17. Morning comes slow today
    Memories push through from yesterday
    Where will I be tomorrow
    What do I have to show



18. The world was on fire no-one could save me but you
    Strange what desire will make foolish people do



19. Il dolce suono
    Mi colpì di sua voce!...
    Ah! quella voce
    M’è qui nel cor discesa!...
    Edgardo! Io ti son resa



20. To hold me closer or set me free
    To trust completely or let it be
    You don't know my destiny
    You can't see what I can see



21. I am just an aging drummer boy
    and in the wars I used to play
    and I've called a tune to many a torture session



22. Her hair is hollow gold
    her lips sweet suprise
    her hands never cold



23. I am holding half an acre
    Torn from the map of Michigan
    And folded in this scrap of paper
    Is the land I grew in



24. Ég Er Kominn Aftur
    Inn I Þig
    Það Er Svo Gott Að Vera Hér
    En Stoppa Stutt Við
    Eg Flýt Um I Neðarsjávar Hýði
    A Hóteli Beintengdur Við Rafmagnstöfluna Og Nærist



25. You can depend on certainty
    Count it out and weigh it out again
    You can be sure you reach the end
    And still you don't feel (you know about anything)

I am often surprised, when I stop and actually take a look, at what ends up in my music collection.

2. American Pie by Don McLean (though I geeked enough that just for a second I thought it was The Saga Begins by Weird Al)

There are several others that are ringing a bell, but I can't place them right now...

[apocalypticbob.livejournal.com]

Yeah...that was the only one I knew!

*laughs*

[bountifulpots.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but did you pull the geek on it like I did? ;)

[apocalypticbob.livejournal.com]

No, but after I read your comment I did...*laughs*

[solan-t.livejournal.com]

I did. Had to get to the end to go 'oh, that's the original'.

[akaashben.livejournal.com]

Yep - that's the original. What's actually on my playlist is Madonna's cover - but you can't exactly convey that in just lyrics.

I do like the Weird Al parody... and I think I do have that one somewhere. LOL!
