On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favorite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.
Edited to mark those gotten (and re-edited for a few hints) (and finally re-re-edited with the answers):
1 - A thought in my head, I think, of something to do; expressions tell everything, I see one on you ("She Comes In Colors," the Hooters (although I think it was actually written by someone else))
2 - I think that's where the Kraft marshmallows are made ("Spokane," Jimmy Raycraft & the Roaring Calhouns,bibulb - this was one of the two ringers)
3 - Why don't you tell me what's going on? Why don't you tell me who's on the phone? ("Tusk," Fleetwood Mac; this is the live version with the Trojan Marching Band behind them)
4 - Well, he tells me tears are something to hide, something to fear ("Voices Carry," 'Till Tuesday,quantumduck)
5- And she was drifting through the backyard ("And She Was," Talking Heads,quantumduck)
6 - But did you know, that when it snows, my eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen ("Kiss From a Rose," original by Seal, covered by the Ransom Notes)
7 - We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage ("We Built This City," Starship,memeslayer)
8 - Beamed to the homes and the hearts of a hungry nation, a dream come true for every lonely girl ("Video Romeo," Kidd Video; this was the other ringer)
9 - It's no better to be safe than sorry ("Take On Me," a-ha,follybard)
10 - Allies on the way, be here with me, here with me ("Voices From the Path," Mary Grigolia, and only the UU/Pagan contingent probably had a shot at that)
11 - I will assure all of the boys who feel awkward and the girls who feel clumsy ("Perfect Place," Voice of the Beehive,quantumduck)
12 - For you know for a million years he has been your father ("Greenman," XTC,quantumduck)
13 - And she engineered a collision steered by a hand-eye protege; Before my train set started burning, I heard my sister say ("Horseshoes," Moxy Fruvous; this is the live version)
14 - I believe in the sand beneath my toes ("Semi-Charmed Life," Third Eye Blind,memeslayer)
15 - Winter's cold spring erases, and the calm away by the storm is chasen - Everything good needs replacing ("Sattelite," Dave Matthews Band)
16 - Well, they write about love in lots of books; they say sometimes it just takes one look ("Say About Love," the BoDeans)
17 - I want to be all of you, and that's the confusion - it's so hard for me to draw a conclusion ("Love Will Find a Way," Yes)
18 - There's a storm off in the distance; I can see the lighting strike - Blinding streaks of brilliance illuminate the night ("Rain," Freddy Jones Band)
19 - Only to trip at the sound of good-bye ("Helplessly Hoping," originally CSNY, covered by the Lager Rhythms,follybard)
20 - Well, I hate TV, there's gotta be somebody other than me ("Cynical Girl," Marshall Crenshaw,bibulb
I think only the Spouse has a chance of getting all of these, but all of y'all together should have a shot except for one.

Date: 2004-05-02 09:22 pm (UTC)On 4 you have the title right, but not the band (although I'm being picky, since it was her band).
For 11 you have the right band, but only part of the title.
This is fun. :)

20 - Cynical Girl, by Marshall Crenshaw. (Although I'd say that you cut the line prematurely - he does continue the sentence...)
(And I stink on ice that I didn't get 16. I wish I could have gotten 8, but I don't feel as bad about that one...)
