The rules:
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.*
Step 3: Post and let your magnificent readers guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike through when someone gets them right
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is now considered fair game, as the post is very stale.
*I have altered the methodology by excluding songs where the first line is the name of the song.

UPDATE:
In an effort to assist the local sedimentologists, I've put the songs in stratigraphic order, with a few space age marker beds. Still left:
1 Beatles song, 1 Pink Floyd song, all 3 Australian and both Brazilian artists.
Is #1 Califonia Girls by the Beach Boys?
ReplyDeleteI think #15 is Red Hot Chili Peppers but I'm not sure the title..."the other side"?
You might not have give us enough to go on for some of them, like #4. :)
7) That prison song - Tear the Prisons Down (to the ground?) by Joan Baez
ReplyDelete#23 is U2...from the Achtung Baby album...wild horses?
ReplyDelete#13 is so familiar but I can't name it.
#24 - Dixie Chicks, Let him Fly
ReplyDelete#18 is Come Sail Away by Styx.
ReplyDelete#21 is Your Mother Should Know by the Beatles.
OK, I've added a hint to 4, 3, 25.
ReplyDelete15: Sorry, but there are no South American spices on my iPod. I've chucked a second line on for you, though.
#4 - Kyle's mom is a bitch, as sung by Cartman
ReplyDeleteDamn! I should have gotten the Cartman song...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, #3 is Zoo Station by U2
The cartman song is incorrect.
ReplyDeleteSecond line is
"You know you make me wanna"
I'm a Paul Simon fan, so I know #22 is American Tune
ReplyDeleteVery good. Do you recognize any of the three Australian bands left?
ReplyDelete#4 is "Shout" by the Isley Brothers.
ReplyDeleteI love the extra credit! "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by Pat Benetar.
#20: The Trial, The Wall, Pink Floyd
ReplyDelete#6 The day breaks
ReplyDeleteIf this is really "Your day breaks" then it is the Beatles Revolver tune "For No One"
