25 random songs meme...

[silversolitaire]

Nicked from everyone.

Step 1. Put your playlist on random.
Step 2. Post the first a line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrasing.
Step 3. Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly. NO GOOGLING.

It's kinda appalling how many songs have the title right in the first few lines! LOL So I've struck those out... Let's see how this works! *g* I'm not gonna strike out the whole song when it was guessed correctly because that always makes everything so hard to read.

1.
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore.

Nat King Cole - L.O.V.E.

Joshua Kadison - Jessie

When troubles come and my heart burdened be

If you're waiting for your wings but you just got legs

11.
Oh, well imagine; as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words.
"What a beautiful wedding!, What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter.
"Ah yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore."

Panic! At the Disco - I Write Sins, Not Tragedies

8. You raise me up - Josh Groban

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Correctamente! :D

[arthal.livejournal.com]

20 is Bon Jovi - It's My Life.

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Yup, correct!

[arthal.livejournal.com]

Number 11 is that Panic At The Disco song..."I Write Sins, Not Tragedies"?

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is! :D

[arthal.livejournal.com]

I recognise 1 and 2 as well but of the first I have no idea what it's called and who performs it, and of the second I know the title but not the performer.

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Hehe, well maybe someone else guesses it. If not I'll award you an honorary mentioning *g*. Or I suppose you could look up the performer? Since that technically isn't googling the lyrics, is it?

[arthal.livejournal.com]

Okay.

Number 2 is "Disco Inferno" by The Trammps.

[laurenia.livejournal.com]

16 is Sinatra's "New York, New York"... you know that when you're at a karaoke bar every few weeks ;)

18 is Queen and David Bowie with Under Pressure

19 is "Walking on broken glass" by Annie Lennox (my graduation song! And Hugh Laurie! <3)

Would have known Bon Jovi too, but alas, too slow ;)

I wonder how many of the songs are up there because they were sung on ADWD ;)

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

All correct!

And LIES ALL LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not THAT many that are on there because of ADWD! D:

[laurenia.livejournal.com]

*g* I didn't claim they were all from ADWD! I just wondered!

[daasgrrl.livejournal.com]

4. Um... Poor, poor Joseph? It's from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, anyway.

13. OMG. Only You? Rusty sings 'I am the Starlight' over the top if I remember correctly. It's been... so long XD

16. New York, New York

17. Is driving me crazy. I can ever HEAR Anthony Warlow singing it. Or John Barrowman. Someone. Ooh, "You'd be So Easy to Love" I think. I had to sing it before I got it.

18. Under Pressure

21. He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

25. Wicked... lalala... nope, I know it's Elphaba singing to Fiyero... hold on, it's not called Wicked, is it? XD

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I'm gonna count 4 since that's the version they sung at ADWD which was actually a bit different from the way it really is supposed to be.

13. Oh yes XD;

16. Correct, but laurenia was a smidgen faster!

17. Yes! John Barrowman - Easy to Love

18. Yup, but egain laurenia was your nemesis... *g*

21. Yes! :D

25. Hmmm yes it is, but what is it called??? Hehehe... The musical is called Wicked, but not the song! I'll need more info on that one.

[daasgrrl.livejournal.com]

25. LOL, I meant I thought there might be the tiniest chance the song itself was actually called Wicked because at the end she says something like 'for the first time... I feel wicked'. You see? But apparently not, dammit. I could go look up my CD, but I'm too laaazy... XD

Hee, I think I did pretty well picking Piaf, considering my nonexistent French :P. Okay, I'm gonna guess "Je Ne Regrette Rien", because... it's virtually the only one I know XD

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Yeah you gotta wonder why it's not called Wicked... LOL. But it's not! Nyahaha!

Nope, Je Ne Regrette Rien is wrong, but still a rather impressive guess! :D

[daasgrrl.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks for the honorary #4 :)

Also, I'm going to give one LAST guess at #3 as "La Vie En Rose" because... that's only other Piaf song I know. ROFL.

[daasgrrl.livejournal.com]

Wait, I just realised you XXXX'd out the words because they're the song title, right? So that can't be it. Never mind :)

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

LOL yeah... And here I was, thinking it was ridiculously easy! XD

It rhymes with "toujours"... *g*

[daasgrrl.livejournal.com]

Hah, it might be easy if you speak French, which I just bet you do *g*. If it were a Brel song, or something from Les Mis I might have a fighting chance, but Piaf... agh!

"Non, rien de rien..."

[daasgrrl.livejournal.com]

PS 1. isn't L.O.V.E. is it? That sounds too simple, although I know the song.

Also, is the French one by Piaf? It sounds vaguely familiar, but I could be imagining it XD

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, yes 1 is indeed called L.O.V.E. Kinda lame that it came up as first XD;.

The French one is Piaf, but what's the title? Hm?

[hellenebright.livejournal.com]

Number 9 is Brown Eyed girl, which means it must be Van Morrison unless you're listening to some inferior cover version.

24 is Blinded by the Light, by Mannfred Mann's Earthband.

Your Piaf one is surely the song where she says love can't be understood. "I could talk about my crazy story forever..." or something similar. Can't think what it's called though

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

9. Correct. Hehehe, I'd never dare!

24. Yup!

The Piaf song is the one where she wonders what love is good for, that it only brings pain and misery.

[hellenebright.livejournal.com]

Ah well... aren't all Piaf songs about how love brings pain and misery...:)

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Hahaha yes, they kinda are! *g*

[ved-vies-kto.livejournal.com]

10 is the scissor sisters' fantabulous everbody wants the same thing

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Yay! I was worried that one would never get guessed! :D

[no-ron.livejournal.com]

7. Joshua Kadison - Jessie
:)

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Yes! Hehehe...

I was counting on you to get the Annie Lennox song, but someone else did that before you! *g*

[no-ron.livejournal.com]

that song very much suffers from overexposure, so i'm glad someone was quicker.. :p

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Haha, yes it does, but I love it so! :3

[krss.livejournal.com]

14 Pink ~ Who Knew

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Bingo! :D

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

12 - Will Young: Leave Right Now

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Sure is! :D
