Put your music player on random.
Post the first line from the first 32 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Bold the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
In the interest of being fair to those in other time zones, I'm going to screen replies - this is an untimed quiz. ;-)
UPDATED with scores as of 7:30 pm Monday!
1) I was born in a house with the television always on
2) Well, [title], I'm ready to crash
3) I've been waiting for so long to home here now and sing this song
4) Some people ain't no damn good
5) Long ago in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor
6) Why you let me get this close, I can't say
7) You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat "No One Is To Blame," Howard Jones;yermie, follybard, and cifarelli got the title but not the artist
8) (Can you feel that? Ah, shit) Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
9) Life is a mystery everyone must stand alone "Like a Prayer," original by Madonna, this was actually the cover by Rufio;follybard and cifarelli
10) Mr. Bonds, Mr. Bonds, have you ever taken steroids?
11) "What is your destiny?" the policewoman said
12) (Guitar! Drums! Ah, ooh) White night, strange city, mad music all around "Rocket," Def Leppard;yermie
13) (Ah, ooh, oh) Ever since you've been leaving me, I've been wanting to cry "Too Late For Goodbyes," Julian Lennon;yermie, follybard; I'm so glad someone other than me knew this one
14) Lonely mother gazing out of her window staring at a son that she just can't touch
15) Hey, hey, mercy, woman plays a song and no one listens
16) As I walk through this wicked world searching for light in the darkness of insanity
17) Trying to be too bad, trying to talk too tough
18) You can see it in her letters, on the paper with her pen
19) In the world we call our home, there's lots of room to roam "Rhythm Section Want Ad," They Might Be Giants;yermie
20) [title twice] You talk about things and nobody cares "Sweet Emotion," Aerosmith;follybard
21) We come from the fire, living in the fire
22) ([long spoken intro] Well-ooh, [title], all them commies better get up and run
23) Take a boat, take a train, go to London, go to Spain
24) [title minus the first word], there will be a show tonight on trampoline "Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite," the Beatles;follybard, iamjw
25) (Ooh, bop bop) [title repeated] I remember how it used to be

27) Everything around us is natural, don't fight it!
28) It was a day of great rejoicing; the bells, oh, how they rang!

30) [title,] though I spend my days in conversation
31) [title] to give brth to the dreams of our lives
32) [title], one to carry me home
Hmm. All of those last three had the title in the first line, which does make it kind of difficult. So, bonus song:
33) Ex-friends, ex-lovers, and enemies, I got your cases in front of me
So far:
yermie: 5
follybard: 5
cifarelli: 1.5
iamjw: 1
I have to say, iTunes went for the obscure on a couple of these . . .
