Aaaand I finally surrender and do the random jukebox 'Name That Tune' meme...
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!


Note: List Modified to remove instrumental tracks, tracks that are just short dialogue snippets and repeated appearances of artists.

EDIT: Crap. I forgot that when I put 'song title' in carats LJ would read that as a crude HTML tag and remove it. Fixed now!

Good evening. I just want to say to you, before bed,

Look at me, look at me, look at me and tell me what you see
You see a man forlorn, all meek and pale

You lost it all and then away you run

Who turns out not to be the postman, but an itinerant seller of pigeons.

Oh the politician says there's a new way coming to town
Oh but I ain't seen nothing, nothing to stop this frown

I can't get no satisfaction. I can't get no satisfaction. I can't get no satisfaction.

Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?

Nah, no hard feelings. The product remains quality, it's just the morons who they brought on to try and make it a millionaire factory that I resent.
