Put your music player on "random" and write down your favourite line from the first 25 songs to come up. Then let everyone on your friends list try to name them. Google is cheating.

Let me just say this in my defense -- I have 1247 songs and I don't listen to more than half of them on a regular basis. Many are albums friends have given me or I've burned for friends/family. Also, oh, the SHAME. (I'm excluding instrumentals.)

1) Now when did you last let your heart decide? Aladdin, A Whole New World - slammerkinbabe
2) We were looking for ourselves / but found each other BNL, In the Car -
erbie
3) Twisting and turning / Your feelings are burning Red Hot Chili Peppers, Breaking the Girl - llnaughty
4) If we make it back / I'll renounce Jack Kerouac / And all that romantic crap BNL, Baby Seat - erbie
5) Deliver you from evil, spare your innocence and youth
6) If I get home before daylight, / I just might get some sleep tonight. Counting Crows cover of Friend of the Devil - mtgat
7) Don't be shy let everyone or me at least inside
8) Lì anche la notte è meno oscura
9) I'm not trying to cause a big sensation / I'm just talkin' 'bout my generation Oasis cover of The Who, My Generation - erbie
10) get a real job, that's what they said to me Good Charlotte, The Anthem - tapdancinghippo
11) Size of the entire universe man They Might Be Giants, Particle Man - mtgt (honourary mention to shiningmoon)
12) I will be strong I will be faithful / 'cause I'm counting on a new beginning.
13) While I, with human-hindered eyes
14) When your man / Wanna get buckwild
15) After all that's what this country was founded on / Do nothing different just fall in line. SR-71, Politically Correct - tapdancinghippo
16) I know your address / I ring the bell BNL, Straw Hat and Old Dirty Hank - erbie
17) It’s easier to believe in this sweet madness Sarah McLachlan, Angel - erbie
18) Now they pan and scan / And edit out the everyman
19) Down my road, will it lead to you? / I just can't turn, you walk away
20) You can call me Pavlov's dog / Ring a bell and I'll salivate BNL, Brian Wilson - erbie
21) When everybody loves you, son, that's just about as funky as you can be Counting Crows, Mr. Jones - erbie

You're as bad as I am with the BNL! I had 9 in my first one.

[brinshannara]

Right you are on all of 'em, except one of them was an Oasis cover. I let that one slide. ;)

As to BNL - did I not tell you in yours that that's pretty much what I listen to? ;)

[llnaughty.livejournal.com]

and you got a broken lj user tag for 2).

[brinshannara]

"urser" instead of "user". Yay my typing skills at nearly 3am.

[llnaughty.livejournal.com]

not "usurper" cause i'm with her now instead of with you?

*gnorf*

don't snarf too hard. ;)

[brinshannara]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA <pause to breathe> AHAHAHAHA.

Okay, I'm done, now. Why didn't I see this last night??

[llnaughty.livejournal.com]

i don't know why you didn't see it last night. i was waiting for a response... ;)

[brinshannara]

I didn't get notification, for some reason. And I was caught up in my research. Sigh.

3) "breaking the girl" red hot chili pepper

6 and 23 are nagging at me. 14 too.

[slammerkinbabe.livejournal.com]

1 is A Whole New World
23 is Edelweiss

[llnaughty.livejournal.com]

23!! that's what it is!!

the other day, i was singing to erbie, "how do you solve a problem like a [bob's real name]?" cause sometimes wrangling her is like pinning down a cloud or catching a moonbeam.

[brinshannara]

I'm annoyed you didn't get A Whole New World. Hmph.

[llnaughty.livejournal.com]

oh please like i remember the love song lyrics of a movie i saw over a dozen years ago with my lesbian ex-girlfriend! *ducks* ;-)

[brinshannara]

<opens mouth to angrily retort>

<closes mouth, slumps shoulders>

ohmygodwe'resoold.

[llnaughty.livejournal.com]

i be 30 this year.

[brinshannara]

I just realized that. Here I am, freaking out about 29, and you're hitting THIRTY. THIRTY!!!

With a wife, a kid, and another on the way.

I will not have a wife or any kids when I hit thirty. Therefore, I am more tragic. You're just respectable. Even with a pink boa.

[llnaughty.livejournal.com]

i'm gonna share this whole new world (of the 30s) with that boa...

[brinshannara]

... and he manages to work in the boa, the age AND the song all in one sentence.

Good job!!!

[llnaughty.livejournal.com]

thanks! :-)

i'm waiting to read your reaction to the 2 hour alias ep from last week tomorrow night!

[brinshannara]

I am going crazy not watching it. It's, er, acquired, and I COULD WATCH IT RIGHT NOW, but NO.

I kind of miss watching Alias alone, but it's also fun to freak out with someone else. :D

Will keep you posted, will post tomorrow night. :)

5. is from the Xena musical episode. I don't know the names of the songs, but Xena sings it to Gabby, and then Gabby sings to Xena, then they sing together.

That's all I got. ;) I suspect that 18 is BNL, but I don't know what song or album. I just have a vague aural memory of a BNLish voice.

[brinshannara]

5 - it is from "The Bitter Suite", but that's not the right song.

18... mmmm. Interesting. :)

[mtgat]

6) Friend of the Devil (Is it the Dead's version or another one?)
11) Particle Man TMBG

Yay!

[brinshannara]

Counting Crows, but good job anyways. :)

And yay Particle Man! :)

[mtgat]

I'd get all snarky about remakes, but I like the Counting Crows and anyway the Dead did a whole bunch of covers too. :) (Icon, frex.)

[shiningmoon.livejournal.com]

11.) They Might Be Giants, "Particle Man"

[tapdancinghippo.livejournal.com]

10. "Anthem" - Good Charlotte
15. "Politically Correct" - SR-71
