"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."

Stolen shamelessly from 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 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 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 hezyfaerie
7. "There you see her, sitting there across the way" The Little Mermaid OS, "Kiss the Girl," guessed by 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 destinedtofly
10. "And the streets turn me inside out" Goo Goo Dolls, "Stay With You," guessed by clez
11. "I once had a dream where no one had to walk two hundred miles" Wolfstone, "Brave Foot Soldiers," correctly guessed by _revolutionary
12. "You remind me of the babe" David Bowie, "Magic Dance," guessed by 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 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 hezyfaerie
