Whenever I have to do something like this, I am always amused at just how eclectic my musical tastes can be. Some of 'em are gimmies, others I doubt anyone will ever guess.
The rules:
Step 1: Put your iTunes or equivalent on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 15 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Bold/Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.
A couple of these I suppose I technically put the first two lines up, but that's because I hate incomplete song phrases, and also because a few of them are really obscure (if anyone gets #8 I'll be stunned.)
I will also confess that these are actually 15 of the first 40 songs off the shuffle option of my Ipod, for a number of reasons. Namely, I omitted any songs that were:
a) instrumental only (5 or 6 of the songs I skipped over fit this description)
b) from the same albums/artists as songs already used (this happened a number of times, apparently my Ipod isn't feeling very random, because I got about 4 songs off a single soundtrack)
c) songs I'm not familiar with because they're from albums Mr. Ambrya has on my Ipod that I don't listen to
d) not songs at all, such as stand-up comedy routines (seriously, I got three or four Robin Williams tracks and at least one Denis Leary)
And here are the lyrics:
1) What is this feeling of power and drive, I've never known?
2)
AsuranConvict got it -- "Something To Sing About" from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Once More, With Feeling"
3) You'll never make me stay, so take your weight off of me
4) What to do? What to say? Shall you carry our treasure away?
5)
6) Went downtown to see my cousin, plays guitar sounds like a chainsaw buzzin'
7) It wasn't really sad the way they said goodbye
8) By the last breath of the winds that blow, I'll have revenge upon fortunado
9) There's not a morning I begin without a thousand questions running through my mind
10)
11)
12) Where once was light, now darkness falls
13) Shot like an arrow going through my heart
14)
ChanchanXI got it, "My Friends" from Sweeney Todd (the actual track that was playing was the Broadway revival, but I have the movie version on my Ipod as well and they're the same)
15) If it were love, I would give that love every second I had
Okay, folks, have at it
