sexyscholarSo I totallly stole this from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ryl. I even took her name for it, because it's made of WIN.
Here's the deal:
Grab the first 30 songs (w/lyrics) from random play through your collection, post the first line(s) of each, cross them out as people guess.
Here's the 30. I left out anything that was in a language other than English. This is coming from my collection, so it could be just about anything. And yeah, there are a couple of gimmes.
01. Tell me how, baby, could it open my eyes?
02.Oh, she may be weary Try a Little Tenderness - Otis Redding
03.I heard there was a secret chord Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright version
04.I don't know what colour your eyes are baby, but your hair is long and brown So Alive - Love and Rockets
05.In the afterlife, you could be headed for the serious strife Hell - Squirrel Nut Zippers
06.My reflection wraps and pulls me under Breña - A Perfect Circle
07. You wanted this...so sad to see

15.Please, leave all overcoats, canes and top hats with the doorman There's a Good Reason These Tables are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of it Yet - Panic! at the Disco
16. Here comes Johnny Yen again
17. I used to go out to parties and stand around
18. If you wanna take my body tonight
19. Rameses, Colossus.
20. We fear what we see in the distance
21. You push me to go the extra mile
22. Every day brings change
23. Sometimes I feel like I don't know
24. The word is about, there's something evolving
25. Once in a house on a hill
26. Here I go again, dreaming, here I go again
27.Is it all in that pretty little head of yours? Veronica - Elvis Costello
28. My friends feel it's their appointed duty
29. The stranger sang a theme
30. His father was a drinker and his mother cried in bed

Date: 2007-03-02 08:40 pm (UTC)#15 is Panic! at the Disco, but I'm not sure of the song title. Is it "Cancer"?
no subject
Date: 2007-03-02 09:23 pm (UTC)Somebody got Ben! God, I love him.
#15 has the most obnoxiously long title I've ever heard for a song. It's called "There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of it Yet."
I know.
But yeah, in the song he mentions "I'm the new cancer, never looked better, you can't stand it..." So, I'm giving it to you, because obviously you know the song!
I hope to see both of these artists in concert before I die.
