Step 1: Put your media player on random.
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
(I've skipped over instrumentals and songs where I can't understand more than the chorus. Some of these are obvious, but, well, they had to be or I'd be cheating.)
1. Fire rages in the streets / And swallows everything it meets / It's just an image often seen / On television
2. The only one who knew me / But now your eyes see through me / I guess I was wrong
3. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end
4. I don't care if you do 'cause it's understood / You ain't got no money, you just ain't no good
5. She's got a club on the moon / And she's telling all her secrets / In a wonderful balloon
6. [She] slipped on a kiss and tumbled into love
7. Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
8. When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie...
9. Think you'd better cut all that hair / Throw it out the window / Climb down from that tower / Flip the wicked witch the finger
10. Been around the world and found / That only stupid people are breeding / The cretins cloning and feeding / And I don't even own a TV
11. You ride the waves and don't ask where they go / You swim like lions through the crest / And bathe yourself in zebra flesh
12. Who said dark is deep / You'd rather flip the bird / I'd rather show you signs of peace
13. I believe in self-assertion / Destiny or slight diversion / Now it seems I've got my head on straight
14. Underneath your dreamless eyes / Shades of sleep have driven you away
15. Give us this day our daily discount outlet merchandise / Raise up the multiplex and we will make a sacrifice
16. Time asks no questions, it goes on without you / Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace / The world you can't stop it and if you try to / The best part is danger staring you in the face
17. Hey, hey I wanna play on the team that you despise / Every day a new disguise / Every night a Halloween
18. I've never been afraid of any deviation / And I don't really care if I'm strange / I ain't gonna change
19. And when she dances, oh brother / She's a hurricane in all kinds of weather
20. Tudor rose with her hair in curls / Will make you turn and stare / Try and steal a kiss at the bridge
21. I'm sure that you think / You got it all under control / You don't want someone telling you / The way to stay in someone's soul
22. I'd sleep with k.d. lang. Mel Gibson, take a hike! / I think it would be nice to love someone who was alike
23. Her name is Lola, she's a rocker with a nose ring / She wears a two way, but I'm not quite sure what that means
24. Well give your ID card to the border guard / Yeah, your alias says you're Captain Jean-Luc Picard / Of the United Federation of Planets / 'Cause he won't speak English anyway
25. It's like i'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck being packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse
*I've edited #22 on a second listening since it's such a demented song and the spoken line doesn't do it justice. There's only ONE person on the flist who I think might get it anyway. Oh, and remembering the entire title of #11 isn't necessary. :)
(Edit: Answers are here if you're curious.)
