this fucking meme took me more than a fucking hour!
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first two lines from the first 37 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing. [i skipped tracks that didn't really have lyrics (about a dozen non-classical and about a dozen classical], of course, as well as tracks where i couldn't understand the first line(s) nor could i find the lyrics online [another dozen or so], and anything that wasn't a song [about half a dozen]]
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own.

  1. cats and dogs are coming down / 14th street is gonna drown
  2. the news is out all over town / that you've been seen out runnin' round
  3. and you live life with your arms reached out / eye to eye when speaking
  4. i still don't know what i was waiting for / and my time was running wild
  5. georgia, georgia / the whole day through
  6. we wrote this song / it's not too short, it's not too long
  7. people try to put us down / just because we get around
  8. all i can ever be to you / is a darkness that we know
  9. something filled up / my heart with nothing
  10. this is how it works / it feels a little worse
  11. she's my baby / she belongs to me
  12. i'm a-gonna tell you how it's gonna be / you're a-gonna give your love to me
  13. one fine day / you'll look at me
  14. always alone, alone and blue / i've got no one to tell my troubles to
  15. well, how the times have change / looking back it seems so clear now
  16. hey let's party, let's get down / let's turn the radio on
  17. you couldn't even bring yourself / to stay, oh no, you had to go
  18. rhiannon rings like a bell through the night / and would you love to love her
  19. here i dreamt i was a soldier / and i marched the streets of birkenau
  20. i wanna live, i wanna give / i've been a miner for a heart of gold
  21. i'm on the line, i'm on the line / once i clean my mirror, i'm'a be feeling fine
  22. we're the reflection of imperfection / we come from the infinite place of limitation
  23. bend down low / let me tell you what i know now
  24. he met marmalade down in old new orleans / struttin' her stuff on the street
  25. when i'm walkin' i strut my stuff / and i'm so strung out
  26. all the king's horses and all the king's men / they couldn't put our two hearts together again
  27. warm beer and cold women / i just don't fit in
  28. never made it as a wise man / couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
  29. barricades and brick walls won't keep me from you / you can tie me down on a railroad track
  30. i believe that reality's gone / disillusion's real
  31. my brother's doing bad on my mother's tv / she says you watch it too much, it’s just not healthy
  32. love is but the song we sing / and fear's the way we die
  33. on the corner of main street / just trying to keep it line
  34. my my my it's a beautiful world / i like swimming in the sea
  35. after all the jacks are in their boxes / and the clowns have all gone to bed
  36. leaves are falling all around / it's time i was on my way
  37. now that she's back in the atmosphere / with drops of jupiter in her hair

18 is Rhiannon by... I feel it starts with a C like Cardigans or Corrs, but I'm almost certain it's neither of those two.
24 - Lady Marmalade? :P
25. Blister in the Sun by the Violent Femmes
28. How You Remind Me by Staind
34. Beautiful World by Colin Hay
37. Drops of Jupiter by... fuck, I should know this, it's the theme song for one of my characters. Train.

24, well, Christina Aguilera and Lil Kim and the like did a cover. I'm trying to think who the original was by. All Saints did a version, but I can't remember if it was the original or not, and I suspect it wasn't, but that's the one the furthest back that I can remember.

18 was... fuck. Fleetwood Mac?

28, if not Staind, probably Nickelback.

I almost want to say Red Hot Chilis but that was Under The Bridge. :P

I need to do more lyrics icons... I'm poking through my Limewire downloads lists moving things into playlists, too. Muuuuusic.

Wow, I know none of these. And yes, it does take a remarkably long time to compile the list. Especially if you stop to listen to a song that you haven't heard in ages and forgot how much you liked... :)

yeah, when i looked at the ones on my friends page, i think i knew all of one song across all the instances of the meme, and it was already struck.

i didn't get sucked in to any songs--there was only one track i even went back to relisten to after finishing the meme, because i hadn't heard it in ages and had forgotten how much i liked it.

Its still stuck in my head though! Sunshine Sally on a saturday night, don't like the scene anyhow... I dropped Acid on a saturday night, just see what the stink was about... there goes the neighborhood.....

Damn, I've loved that song for over ten years. What's your fav out the list?

the vast majority of the list are things that weren't even rated in my iTunes library and that i rarely if ever listen to. my right-now favorite on the list is probably 6. things that are probably rated 5-star in my iTunes library: 10, 15, 29, 33, and 37
