(no subject)
From mauvaise_etoile's LJ. Sorry, no idea how to do the little linky thing
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post a line 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.
Step 5: No cheating.
ETA - Let me just say, you guys are doing fabulously on my list, but I'm giving out clues for the remaining ones.
One of the lines actually contains the name of the song in it.
One of the lines is from a well known R&B song
Both of the Spanish songs are well known, and you guys have probably heard both of them at some point in your lives, though I suppose that won't help you guess the band
Three of the lines are from well-known artists who have come up on other people's memes...on Des's and Hermi's and Tanya's, I think?
ETA2 - I changed a couple of songs no one was ever going to get, and picked other song lyrics from the remaining songs. I don't know why I feel like I must have everyone finish this quiz...OCD OCD!!!
1. You already know how this will end Devotchka, How It Ends
2. It was just a man with something to prove, slightly bored and severely confused Postal Service, Sleeping In
3. Caviar and cigarettes, well versed in etiquette Queen, Killer Queen
4. Someone holds me safe and warm, horses prance through a silver storm Anastasia, Once Upon a December
5. Do they tremble on the edge of the bed, or do you fold them neatly by your head Cake, When You Sleep
6. Can you call the Captain Clitus?
7. London calling, speak the slang MIA, Galang
8. Que tu eres mi consentida y que lo sepa todo el mundo Carlos Vives, Fruta Fresca
9. If you still want me, please forgive me Arcade Fire, Crown of Love
10. You are a sweet sweet girl, but it's a cruel cruel world Libertines, What Katie Did
11. Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC, didn’t get to bed last night Beatles, Back in the USSR
12. I can tell the difference between margarine and butter, I can say Saskatchewan without starting to stutter Proclaimers, Cap in Hand
13. I know I misbehaved, and you made your mistakes, and we both still got room left to grow
14. I could feel it go down, bittersweet, I could taste in my mouth...silver lining the clouds, oh and IIIIIIII....I wish that I could work it out
15. I was spinning free, whoaaa Jimmy Eat World, Sweetness
16. Me dicen el matador de los 100 barrios porteños
no tengo por que tener miedo mis palabras son balas
balas de paz, balas de justicia
soy la voz de los que hicieron callar sin razon
por el solo hecho de pensar distinto, ay Dios
Santa Maria de los Buenos Aires si todo estuviera mejor
EVERY ONE WILL HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THIS SONG ONCE THIS IS ALL OVER!
17. I was a fool, you were my friend, we made it happen Bright Eyes, Take It Easy
18. Watch your children round the abandoned well, don't ask me to tell if they slipped and fell Hot Hot Heat, Jingle Jangle
19. If the ecstasy's in, the weight is definitely out Snow Patrol, How to be Dead
20. SHE DON'T DO MAJOR CREDIT CARDS, I DOUBT SHE DOES RECEIPTS! Arctic Monkeys, When the Sun Goes Down
