from moony:

Step 1. Put your playlist on random.
Step 2. Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing. (You can skip songs that are instrumental.)
Step 3. Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

(I skipped one song because I didn't know it and if I don't know it, it's not fun for guessing. I also skipped to the second line if the first one was only the title of the song.)

Pre-caffeinated, so I'm still quite stupid...

8.There's a [title of song] with your name on it and a billion ways to go berserk

"World Container" by the Tragically Hip

11. I thought love was only true in fairy tales

"I'm A Believer" by the Monkees

20.Wake up, Maggie, I think I got something to say to you

"Maggie May" by Rod Stewart (that's the correct title, isn't it? I think?)

Re: Pre-caffeinated, so I'm still quite stupid...

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yep, yep, and yep!

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

EEEE! The Fat Lady of Limbourg! (#1, if I have to make it EXPLICITLY CLEAR THAT I LOVE YOU AND YOUR MUSICAL TASTE)

Let's see. I know #2, that's 10,000 Maniacs, but I don't know the name of the song! #9 looks like something from Evita, one of the variations on Don't Cry For Me, Argentina. #20 of course is Rod Stewart, and again, what the hell is the name of the song? Isn't it just Maggie? Wake up Maggie?

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

I should say that I absolutely never do these when I see them on my flist, but! THE FAT LADY OF LIMBOURG! I could not resist!

*hums*

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

I don't do a LOT of memes, but the music ones I do. Every once in a while I post a supercolossal hundred-song version with lyrics that aren't necessarily the first line.

I'll be posting links to these songs once the guessing's done. :D

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

#2 isn't the Maniacs, unless they do a version of it. The other two you have a piece of.

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

Indigo Girls, then. I always get them confused.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yep, now what's it called?

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

I refuse to guess on account of you not having credited me with #1 yet.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Ack! An egregious oversight. Done. *g*

[scriggle.livejournal.com]

4, 6, & 9 are from Evita. but 9 is the only one whose title I know. Don't Cry for Me Argentina.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yep, it's the ubiquitous DCFMA! This is the Madonna version.

[moony]

18 is Salvation, Cranberries

21 is Smells Like Teen Spirit, Nirvana

23 is Hawkmoon 269, U2

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yep, except that 21 is the Tori Amos cover, but how were you to know that? :)

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

6. "Good Night and Thank You," Evita

21. "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Nirvana

24. "Hungry Like The Wolf," Duran Duran

[tx-cronopio.livejournal.com]

[malnpudl.livejournal.com]

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Keeep looooking.....stuff might come to you. :)

[patchfire.livejournal.com]

21 is, of course, Smells like Teen Spirit, Nirvana, from Nevermind.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Actually, of course, it's the dreaded Tori cover. Hey, I can't control shuffle mode. ;)

[patchfire.livejournal.com]

You could un-ticky-it.

You at work or around??

[icepixie]

16. Karma Chameleon by Culture Club

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[(Anonymous)]

2 is Get Out the Map by the Indigo Girls -- best traveling song ever.

6 is Good Night and Thank You, from Evita.

[rillarilla.livejournal.com]

That was me, by the way.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yay! My playlist loved Evita today for some reason.

[aphephobia.livejournal.com]

18 is Salvation by The Cranberries

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yep!

[mrs-laugh-track.livejournal.com]

15. Shining Star - Earth Wind and Fire

19. Gay Messiah - Rufus Wainwright

21. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yes, except see above for Tori and not Nirvana stuff.

[flutteringazure.livejournal.com]

Right, let's see if I can guess a few!

4. The actress hasn't learned the lines from Evita.

Ahem, that's all I'm afraid. I'm guessing by one of the other answers that it's from the movie soundtrack, but I could be wrong :)

Stealing the meme from you BTW (I hope you don't mind)!

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

For some reason my playlist randomly shuffled to three songs from the Evita movie soundtrack. I almost started the whole thing over, but then I would have been cheating so I left them. And yes, you're right!

[songdogmi.livejournal.com]

12 is Who Woulda Thunk It by Greg Brown. :)

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yes! I'm glad someone got that one. It's one of the best songs ever. :D
