I was tagged by CAE for this meme. I think I should add as a caveat that my music collection has some really random, very embarrassing stuff. This is because I started ripping CDs from my music collection in college and (somehow) managed to rip all of the CDs I owned prior to that time. I have, as will soon become obvious, not been that efficient since.
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. (I did skip some songs that had the song title in the first line.)
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike through when someone gets them right.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.
1. What’s a matter Mary Jane?
2. I can’t stop myself from calling
3. You brace and hold it all inside

10. I live at the end of a 5 and half minute hallway
11. I’m wide awake in the dark

OK I officially suck. I made you do this meme, and now I can’t recognise a single one of your songs!!
Maybe I should add a second line to some of these? I know my music collection was strange, but I didn’t realize that it was that obscure!
8 – Johnny Cash, The Night Hank Williams Came To Town
6 is from a musical but I don’t remember which.
And that’s all I can say…
Citronella: Correct! And #6 is from a popular musical that’s on Broadway.
19 They Might Be Giants (or they might not) “I Palindrom I”
Also, not allowing alternatives to the bland and boring (if descriptive) “Dr. Man” is no fun.
16 is Crash by DMB, and 2 is a Norah Jones song but I don’t know the name. That’s all I’ve got. :o)
Dr. Man: Check (and I’m still not calling you Dr. Awesome)
Candid: Correct. #2 is from her Feels Like Home album, if that helps any.
#20 is Let Go by Frou Frou and I think 7 might be by Sublime?
I second Dancing Fish – is #7 Sublime? The song about the date rape?
Dancing Fish: Number 20 is correct.
Dancing Fish and Science Girl: Nope, not Sublime.
23–I love you just the way you are (or whatever the title is), Billy Joel.
Dr J & Mrs. H: Yep!
OK I’m gonna make a wild guess. Or actually two. Is #2 either “falling in and out of love with you” by, erm, Alicia Keyes or whoever, or “falling in love with you” by the Corrs?
1. Is from Alanis Morisette, I think it’s called Mary Jane right?
(yeah I finally recognized one of the songs from this meme….)
CAE: Nope, sorry 🙁
Jenn: Yep, you got it!
