This is a fun meme that’s making the rounds and I just felt like trying it. It was that kind of day. The rules are:
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 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 through when someone gets them right
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.
This is going to be interesting, since some songs I listen to have been covered a billion times, and some songs are fairly obscure. Also, I was working off the lyrics as I actually heard them, so there might be some slight discrepancies, but nothing too bad. Do try to guess! In fact, you don't have to guess them all at once, just ones you recognize will suffice.
I’ll post the answers in a couple of days . . .

12. fiona apple o sailor
do you listen to music I listen to!? I only recognise one of them.
glad to see you back posting-where u been?
6. Is Johnny Cash. I can totally hear him singing it, but I can't think of what song it is. Oh, this is killing me. There's another line about walking under an atomic sky.
15. Is They Might Be Giants. I think the song is just called "Older." I heard that song described as "the most annoying song in the history of music" and I can see why, though I kinda like it anyway.
I know #7 too. It's one of those old dancing movie songs. Fred Astaire or someone like that. I don't know the title of it, but I can hear the opening lines "Heaven, I'm in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak" Oh haha! "speak ... cheek." It's "Dancing Cheek to Cheek."
Ha! I kept playing that Johnny Cash song over and over in my head. I like Johnny Cash but there aren't too many of his songs that I know well enough to do that with, and I knew that line didn't fit any of them. Then I figured it out: it's Johnny Cash singing, but on a U2 album, Zooropa. "The Wanderer." Last song on the album and it fades to silence, then you have to remember to turn it off before that silence goes on long because suddenly it starts clamoring.
Is #9 Mother and Child Reunion by Paul Simon?
I knew 7, Cheek to Cheek, a well. I think there have been several artists, though it's the Astaire version that I remember, as well.
Shoot I think I might know #22, but I simply can't figure it out..is it from the movie Once? Yes I think it is...that is my guess, that song that won the Oscar.
Also, hope your mum is feeling better!
