Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] peachespig:

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING! Though, really, can I stop you?
Step 5: If you like the game post your own.


Okay, before the cut, just a couple of comments. As you can see, I have a very wide range of musical taste. I will proudly own up to all of these songs, though a couple of them I'll be very surprised if anyone guesses. A few of them, though, have the title in the freakin' first line. The challenge, I guess, will be to guess WHICH VERSION I'm referring to. Speaking of which, yes, that is the first line of #11.


1. You don't have to be beautiful to turn me on. ('Kiss' by Prince, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] danabird11)

2. Señor, señor -- can you tell me where we're headin'?

3. I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand. ('My Hometown' by Bruce Springsteen, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] dreamkeeper77)

4. You love me and I love him. ('Substitute for Life' by The Real Group, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] wahlee_98)

5. Hard times, spreadin' just like the flu.

6. Sometimes is never quite enough.

7. Looking out across the night time, the city winks her sleepless eye.

8. Well they're still racin' out at the Trestles,

9. Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd. ('Ballad of Sweeney Todd', guessed by [livejournal.com profile] smallerdemon)

10. Bye bye love, bye bye happiness, (Several people guessed 'Bye Bye Love', but [livejournal.com profile] shoroko gets the point for guessing the Ray Charles version.)

11. My gift is my song, and this one's for you. ('Your Song' from Moulin Rouge, sung by Ewan McGregor, guessed by divinemum and dreamkeeper77)

12. The more I travel across the gravel, the more I sail the sea,

13. From this moment, life has begun. ('From This Moment' by Shania Twain - and Bryan White but I'll take Shania - guessed by [livejournal.com profile] divinemum)

14. It's an old wives' story ... said it's an old wives' tale.

15. I'm upper upper class high society, God's gift to ballroom notoriety. ('Big Balls' by AC/DC, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] dreamkeeper77)

16. I've been locked out ... I've been locked in, but I always seem to come back again.

17. Love is a burning thing, and it makes a fiery ring. ('Ring of Fire' by Johnny Cash, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] danabird11)

18. Here we stand, worlds apart, hearts broken in two... ('Separate Ways' by Journey, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] danabird11)

19. There's nothing you can do that can't be done. ('All You Need Is Love' by The Beatles, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] danabird11 and [livejournal.com profile] tartanboxers)

20. Every time she find a minute, that's the time when they begin it. ('The Work Song' from Cinderella, guessed by danabird11)

1o's just called Bye Bye Love, isn't it? Roy Orbison or Simon and Garfunkel?
 
posted by [identity profile] connielane.livejournal.com at 08:24pm on 29/11/2008
Neither.
 
posted by [identity profile] the-vixxmeister.livejournal.com at 09:17pm on 29/11/2008
Neither as in neither artist, or neither as in that's not the song or the artist?

its bye bye love and the Everly Brothers sang it originally, I just don't know who else has sung it for Pam's meme *scratches head*

Neither artist. Sorry, I haven't been on top of this at all today. Should never have posted it just before I was heading downtown for the day. :P

10 Bye Bye Love - Roy Orbison!

For 11 I would have guessed Elton John - I have both versions but it will always be Elton's song. :P

*is proud Elton fan and I don't care what anyone says. :D*

Oh never mind - someone guessed the Roy Orbison version. Oh well.
 
posted by [identity profile] connielane.livejournal.com at 12:30am on 30/11/2008
Yeah, it's Elton's song, and I have that version too. But Ewan is what came up in my shuffle.

*loves Elton and joins you in the not caring*
