Probably because I don't have anywhere near enough readers to support something like this, but I'm going to do it anyway. So this is your chance, all you lurkers out there -- I wanna hear from you! If you haven't heard about the music lyrics meme, here's a simple summary of the rules:
Step 1: Put your iPod/MP3 player or iTunes on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. (I took out any instrumental songs, natch, as well as any song where the title is uttered in the first line, so it's not entirely the first 20 songs that came up.)
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from. Those guessing the songs should post in the comments or shoot me an e-mail.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly and post the title in bold after the stricken song when it is guessed.
Step 5: (for those guessing the songs) If you look up the lyrics on Google or any other search engine, that's called cheating, so don't do it!
So here are the songs --
Song #2: Somehow I let it slip / My hands were tired / Please turn the car around / I just saw home
Song #5: Naivete and childhood left behind deprived of the goodness of mankind
Song #7: Sitting here and feeling lonely / Had my blue eyes for you only
Song #8: Hey boy - did you find out / What you had to know and what it's all about
Song #12: This is your voice of reason / This is your voice of calm
Song #13: We lead two different lives / Just like two lines that never cross
Song #16: You're gonna say you miss me / You're gonna say you'll kiss me
Song #19: Don't you know / So many things, they come and go
Song #20: Who would've believed / That you and me would fall and land together
Some of these are easy, some not so much. Have fun! I'll post the answers probably mid-week next week.

#15- "Fine Time" by New Order
Ugh! #17 is on the tip of my tongue. It's an oldie if I am thinking of the same song.
Hi Dan,
I'm Heidi's friend Kim. You e-mailed my hubby a couple of times a year or so ago. Thanks for your help.
#9 is Everlasting Love. No, I didn't look it up. I could hear the music as I read the lyrics. Ahhh, I miss the 80's.
"I need an everlasting love. I need a friend and a lover divine. An everlasting, precious love. Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time."
Kim:)
Gah! #4 is No Doubt. Must resist the urge to peek at my Tragic Kingdom CD to get the title. Words swirling round in my head, but not all of them. Can't quite get the rhythm of them...
I can't play this on my blog because I'm one of the 5 people in the world who doesn't own an ipod.... Thanks for letting me play along with you.
night,
Kim:)
Kim -- You're on the right track because you've got the right artist and the right CD!
Dan
#1 is Wang Chung! :)
Yep, it's Wang Chung, but what's the title of the song?
Dan
#17 is Windy or Everyone Knows it's Windy. ONe of the two
"Everybody Have Fun Tonight" is the title of the previously guessed Wang Chung song (#1)
3. "Bluer than Blue" by um.... a one hit wonder??
10. "Key Largo" by another one hit wonder, but this time I remember his name, Hubie Brooks
Someone else said that #17 was "Windy" ... the artist is "The Association"
I'll give you "Bluer Than Blue" and "Key Largo" even without the artists because they're kind of obscure.
#11 is Get Together by Madonna
#18 is "Has To Be" by Madonna.
#8: comfortably numb by pink floyd?
Ok, is #4 The Climb? Why am I drawing a blank here?
Oh! And everyone please come and visit me over at my blog. I wanna play too. Being ipod-less, I just sat down and thought about 20 songs I'd put on my ipod if I had one. Some are blatently obvious and a couple of them I figure no one will get.
Kim:)
Ooh, #6 is Tori Amos, Silent All These Years!
#13- Secret, by Heart
It's on my playlist in my office. Nice.
