That lyrics meme

[stellar_muddle]

(cause it is interesting seeing what people will recognize what...)

You all know the drill :) Some are less random than others if I saw them on the selection screen, so there are some favorites there.

Put your music player on random.
- Post the first lines from the first 32 (I'm going to have to go with 21, cause it is late) songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (actually I tended to skip anything off the hard drive which was there out of Z's collection which I couldn't stand...).
- Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
- Bold the songs (well, actually IDing them seems nicer) when someone guesses correctly.
- Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

First lines for guessing:

1.There is freedom withinDon't Dream its over - Sarah Blasko cover of the Crowded house song. mayela_delarue
2.It's a happening thing and it's happening to you Rain - Dragon eftb soft of... (K)

10. From here to there to everywhere and back to union square when do I get some sleep? Get some sleep - Bic Runga alpha_angel
