Music shuffle meme

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.
