Did I mention I have a new icon? Isn't it spiffy? Hehehe... I hope someone answers this! I'm really curious! Some of them I bet nobody will guess! hehehe...

Step 1: Put your iPod or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line 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 (choose only ONE line!!). err I kinda thought it was first line... oh well too lazy to change it now.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

1. "Mother told me, yes she told me, I'd meet girls like you."
2. "Sometimes I wish this world was an easier place."
3. "It's the disease of the age, it's the disease that we crave."

10. "Don't leave me this way; I can't survive, can't stay alive without your love, oh baby, don't leave me this way."
11. "It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the Regular crowd shuffles in."
12. "As soon as I have saved a little nest egg, I hope to ask you, dear, will you be mine?"
13. "I don't want my freedom, there's no reason for living with a broken heart."

Um, I know it's originally from something else but:

#10: Elephant Love Song Medley from Moulin Rouge

XD

Oh, and:

#16: That Thing You Do from said movie. :P

I recognize 18 and 19, but can't remember the songs. Also, your icon freaks me out. x_x

[irda.livejournal.com]

And you should screen the comments so people don't see other people's answers. More fun that way ^^

#8 Rufus Wainwright -- Hallelujah
#19 ABBA -- Dancing Queen

3. Placebo - Protect me from what I want

4. My Way (uh who sang this... x_X Frank Sinatra? )

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Right. Good idea! XD

[lilka.livejournal.com]

3. Placebo - Protect Me From What I Want
4. Frank Sinatra (probably) - My Way
5. The Producers - Haben Sie Gehort Das Deutsche Band?
12. I'm fairly sure this is from Cabaret, but I can't remember which song...
19. ABBA - Dancing Queen

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

LOL! Well #10 isn't really right because, like you said, it's quoted from the original song and the MR quote is slightly different! :B

I lurves my icon! Why is everyone freaked out at it? ;_;

[maantje.livejournal.com]

Number 7 is Gorillaz - Dirty Harry.

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Actually... screening is pointless since I'm solving it right away anyway! LOL

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Hehehe I knew you'd get that one right! :-P

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Both correct! :D

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Hehehe, Placebo was obvious you'd catch on on that one! And yes to Franky Boy too! *g*

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

All correct except for #12! ^^; Others were faster on some of them, but since I hadn't updated sooner I've credited you anyway. ^^

[kmazzy.livejournal.com]

some of these might not be quite right:

6: don't you want me - human league
10: don't leave me this way - jimmy somerville/communards
18: everybody's talking (at me?) - beautiful south (but i don't think they did it originally)
20: you can't hurry love - phil collins (it's my fave ever song on donkey konga)

[pigglet27.livejournal.com]

Oh my. Nobody guessed #11. I'm guessing I'm an old fart then, 'cause that's the only one I know!

#11 Billy Joel - Piano Man

[no-ron.livejournal.com]

6. "You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when I met you."

10. "Don't leave me this way; I can't survive, can't stay alive without your love, oh baby, don't leave me this way."

Phil Collins - You Can't Hurry Love

[i guess Hallelujah is originally by Leonard Cohen? and there's a ton of covers..]

[seal7.livejournal.com]

I knew Rufus too but I didn't know I'd still get mention after someone already solved it x.x

[glenraven.livejournal.com]

oh 20! that's Can't Hurry Love :) don't remember who does it, one of those long ago 50s lady groups and all.

a couple others look familiar but I can't figure them out, only ones else I could others already guessed em LOL. this was a lot of fun though!

9 = Kent "Palace & Main"

And you spelled it correctly. :-)
