  • Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on
    random.
    Step 2: Post the first (few) line(s) from the first 20 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 (no search
    engining the lyrics!)
    Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone
    guesses correctly.

    1. Every time I go downtown, I think I might find you
      around.

    2. As war drums beat in
      Babylon, Cinnamon girl starts to pray.

    3. Say
      now listen here, I wanna be oh so clear.

    4. The
      world has turned and left me here, just where I was before you
      appeared.

    5. Do me wrong, do me
      right, tell me lies but hold me tight.

    6. I
      got fifty Bentley's in the West Indies, I got a pocket full of cheese in a
      garden full of trees.

    7. Going outside
      shoveling snow in the driveway, driveway.

    8. I
      don't know where to begin, I don't know how to get out there to see
      you.

    9. Well it's true that we love one
      another, I love Jack White like a little brother.

    10. Break
      me in, teach us to cheat.

    11. Sometimes
      late at night, I lie awake and watch her sleeping.

    12. Tough,
      you think you got the stuff, you're telling me and anyone you're hard
      enough.

    13. If that's the way you want it, well
      there you go.
    14. How could I believe anything you've ever
      said, I'm on the bottom of your shoes.
    15. It's that hop that
      I'm talkin bout right here, Timbo!

    16. Babe,
      baby, baby, I'm gonna leave you.

    17. It
      takes more time that I've ever had, drains the life from me, makes me want to
      forget.

    18. Smoke in the sky, slime in the sea,
      tall timber tumblin' down around me.
    19. I'm walking out in a
      force ten gale, birds thrown around, bullets for
      hail.

    20. Coming out of my cage and I've been
      doing just fine.

  • 4. Weezer - The world has turned and left me here
    Too easy! One of my favourite songs ever!

  • 2. Cinnamon Girl - Prince, the Artist Formerly Known as Price, or whatever you want to call him.
    11. If Tomorrow Never Comes - I'm guessing your not listening to the Garth version - but Mr. Keating"s cover.

  • Sheesh! All I recognise is No.4: 'Weezer - The World Has Turned And Left Me Here' !

  • I'm going to take a guess here. No 16: 'Missy Elliot'. Not sure wich track. I can feel this wild guess is going to bring me pain and suffering!

  • Off the top of my head: 6. Wycleff Jean- It Doesn't Matter... I'll think about the rest...

  • 5. James Taylor - Don't Let Me Be Lonely
    8. Five for Fighting - There's Something About You - (can't remember the title really)
    12. U2 - You Don't Have To Make It On Your Own

    I feel like I know #11 but dangit! I can't place it. You've got some good stuff there...

  • Darn, I really thought #6 was The Notorious B.I.G., but I think now that I am wrong. And I knew #12 without a doubt, but then I see kibibishani beat me to it. Ach well, I never have been a musical guru, can't start now. This was fun!

  • #18-- I'm Gonna Leave You by Led Zep (my main men) (well, some of em...) I really want to know what #18 is!

  • 20~ the killers, mr. brightside i busted that one out at the no-re-bang recently :)

  • i only know #11. and I will guess that it is Garth's version!

  • 17 is Straylight Run, "The Best."

  • this is fun...i should have gotten the killers - dangit!!

  • Ok! After "someone" convinced me that I do infact know this song... after much consideration... 10. Muse - Citizen Erased

  • I have failed! After searching endlessly for number 7 I gave up and resorted to google just to satisfy my curiosity. Even then I got only one result with no name or suggestion as to who it might be or what song it was, only the lyrics. Eventually I found it. I can't (obviously) reveal who it is... so lets just see if anyone gets it...

  • 8 is Jay Z i think...i THINK...

  • I mean No. 15 is Missy Eliot!!!!!!

  • Good one, folks! And some good guesses! Sorry, Joey_Soapy, no Missy Elliot, though it DOES sound very much like her. And Charlie, shame on you for googling! Haha!

  • hey hey, how did you cross them suckers out?! that is a pretty sweet skill, and lookie here, it's already attracting some ladies.

  • The crossing out requires some HTML. Oooh yeah, mad skillz! Mad crossing out skillz.

    Word.

  • i soo want to do this! if only my dang ipod wasn't broken!! piece of crappers!!  :/

  • This is a pretty wild guess but I'm gonna give it a try anyway, 9 : Blood Hound Gang...uuuhh maybe not, but what the hell.

  • Number nine is "Well its true that we love one another" by the white stripes.  the jack white gave that one away.
