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.

If you're waiting for your wings but you just got legs
And you're feeding all your chickens but they won't lay eggs

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.

"Ah yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore."

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.
