Stolen shamelessly from [livejournal.com profile] isaviel.

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first 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.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly (No lyric hunting! That is cheating!)


A couple of these technically start with their refrains, but that would be WAY too easy, so I skipped to the first non-refrain lines in those. Unfortunately, #8 could not be helped...

1. "We're both looking for something we've been afraid to find"
2. "It's in the rhythm of the dancer, it's in the standard flag unfurled"
3. "I was sick and tired of everything when I called you last night from Glasgow" ABBA, "Supertrooper," guessed by [livejournal.com profile] blaze_rocket
4. "Once I rose above the noise and confusion just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion" Kansas, "Carry On Wayward Son," guessed by [livejournal.com profile] clez
5. "I get such a thrill when you look in my eyes"
6. "Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking" All-American Rejects, "Move Along," guessed by [livejournal.com profile] hezyfaerie
7. "There you see her, sitting there across the way" The Little Mermaid OS, "Kiss the Girl," guessed by [livejournal.com profile] hezyfaerie
8. "One, two, princes kneel before you"
9. "Let me know that I've done wrong, when I've known this all along" All-American Rejects, "Dirty Little Secret," guessed by [livejournal.com profile] destinedtofly
10. "And the streets turn me inside out" Goo Goo Dolls, "Stay With You," guessed by [livejournal.com profile] clez
11. "I once had a dream where no one had to walk two hundred miles" Wolfstone, "Brave Foot Soldiers," correctly guessed by [livejournal.com profile] _revolutionary
12. "You remind me of the babe" David Bowie, "Magic Dance," guessed by [livejournal.com profile] blaze_rocket
13. "One day I looked up, and there you were"
14. "I want to have the same last dream again, the one where I wake up and I'm alive"
15. "All the colors of the rainbow, all the voices of the wind"
16. "Out on the borderline, somewhere between heart and mind"
17. "Is it fate, or random chance? How can I decide?"
18. "Where have all the good men gone, and where are all the gods?" Jennifer Saunders, "Holding Out for a Hero," guessed by [livejournal.com profile] clez
19. "I'm afraid it's been too long to try to find the reasons why"
20. "When in the springtime of the year, when the trees are crowned with leaves" Loreena McKennitt, "The Mummers' Dance," guessed by [livejournal.com profile] hezyfaerie

4. Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas
10. Stay With You by Goo Goo Dolls
18. Holding Out For A Hero by, well, that depends on your version but I'm going to go with either Frou Frou or Jennifer Saunders on account of the Shrek soundtrack

And I know I know some of the others, but dammit if I can't think of them O.o!

Got them all, and yes, you DO know several of the others! XD

3. Super Trooper by ABBA, I believe
12. Dance Magic by David Bowie
18. Holding out for a Hero, I know someone already guessed it, but just pointing out it could be from the Footloose soundtrack as well...

[identity profile] ladynorbert.livejournal.com 2008-01-10 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Correct on all counts. :)

6. Move Along - All American Rejects
7. Kiss the Girl - The Little Mermaid (♥)
20. The Mummer's Dance - Loreena McKennitt

The last one... I'm not sure on, but I swear that song starts with those lyrics there abouts.

[identity profile] ladynorbert.livejournal.com 2008-01-10 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes indeed! Nicely done, that was one that I didn't expect many people to know.
