Ancient random music meme

[anonymous_james]

Put your music player on random.
Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Mark the songs when someone guesses correctly.
I've also made it so that each artist is unique (else it would have been boring with ALL Metallica tracks - really it is time I went through and ripped the rest of my music collection)

11 - "Still Alive" - Jonathan Coulton

[anonymous-james.livejournal.com]

Indeed it is.

8 - the LHC rap. I love that video!

[anonymous-james.livejournal.com]

It is. I won't expect you to guess that's it's by Alpine Kat. :)

3 is by Therapy? and off Troublegum but I can't remember which one, Hellbelly?

I think 12 is Megadeth (Symphony of Destruction?) and 2 may be the obligatory Metallica track, um, Sanatarium?

[anonymous-james.livejournal.com]

It is Therapy? it is from Troublegum, but it isn't Hellbelly.

It is Megadeth, right album, wrong song.

It is indeed the obligatory Metallica track, but it isn't Sanatorium.

Is it cheating to look at various albums' track listings? I figure I could probably get those three then!

[anonymous-james.livejournal.com]

I dunno - you started / revived the meme - you decide.

I reckon it's ok to look it up - if you know where to start looking then you've identified the song fairly... I've got plenty of alnums I know back to front but couldn't tell you all the track names.

[anonymous-james.livejournal.com]

I'd be inclined to agree.

[urizen.livejournal.com]

I thought 3 was Hellbelly too... Hmm.

9 - Who's That Girl? - The Eurithmics

13 - Weather With You - Crowded House

17 - Tomorrow Never Knows - The Beatles

[anonymous-james.livejournal.com]

It is Eurythmics, but it isn't Who's That Girl. The other two were spot on though.

10 is My Michelle by Gn'R I think

There's a couple of others I think I recognise but can't yet place

[anonymous-james.livejournal.com]

Yep :)
