Step 1: Put your Media player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) / your favourite lines of the first 20 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: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly. Guess as many as you can!
1.'Cause that's when those louses go back to their spouses. : Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend - Moulin Rouge Soundtrack (guessed by astaria51)
2.And if your heart stops beating I'll here wondering, did you get what you deserve? : Dead! - My Chemical Romance (guessed by angelchildr)
3. And every time I get to thinking, with every thought of you I want to shout aloud.
4. Can't see you through your blinding words, eyes burning through the lies you stutter, can't breathe in case I take them in, then I'd lose my mind.
5. One more kiss tonight from some tall stable girl, she's like grace from the earth, you're all tuckered out and tame. (I think!)
6.Girls will be boys and boys will be girls, it's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world. : Lola - The Raincoats (guessed by angelchildr)
7. I am the singer, I'm the singer in the band. You're the loser, I wouldn't dismiss you out of hand.
8.And so it is, just like you said it would be. Life goes easy on me most of the time. : The Blower's Daughter - Damien Rice (guessed by angelchildr)
9. On the corner of Main Street, just trying to keep it in line.
10.And from under her velvet gown she drew a gun and shot her lover down, madam. : Miss Otis Regrets - John Barrowman (guessed by dreamiflame)
11. Folks in California can't live without their sun.
12. Momma's not home, we're alone, let's play house.
13. People say that your dreams're the only things that save you.
14. The shadows never seem to comfort me, I don't wanna feel this way.
15.Sleight of hand and twist of fate, a bed of nails, she makes me wait. : With Or Without You - Utada Hikaru (guessed by angelchildr)
16. When all the lights are low, I know a place to go.
17.No-one knows what it's like to feel these feelings like I do, and I blame you. : Behind Blue Eyes - The Who (guessed by darlas_mom, astaria51 and dreamiflame)
18. Falling over backwards for you, falling over everybody else.
19. I've been told if you want to make it in this game, gotta have the luck, gotta have the look.
20. I'll play a stormer, yet in the corner I'll be grumpy on my own like I don't care. I'm a stormy little singer, an unstable little swinger, with a big rip in the arsehole of my flares.
And that actually came out with an interesting mix of things I regularly listen to, and stuff I'd forgotten I even had on here (or have recently downloaded from someone and not listened to properly yet, perhaps *g*)

*laughs* So - your harddrive too, eh? :-)

You have a brother, too?
no subject
I do! I mention him quite a lot *g* He has the same name as Sann's brother, which amuses us. Me even more so, since my Mum's name is v similar to Sann's as well!
no subject
Oh, and after I read the comments here I realised I knew two songs after all :-p

You're KIDDING, right??? O_O That's so cool.
My brother's three years younger than me, and I'm 24. :-p

(... damn, is that all? I was hoping he'd be doing a bit more!)
((I *really* need a music icon. I honestly don't know why I don't have one!))
no subject
Yeah, I know, hehe :-p I just checked his album on cd-wow, not too expensive - if only I had more money :-)
HE PLAYS THE FIDDLE??? O_O I love fiddles. I don't know if I ever told you but I make music myself, as a hobby. Actually I play Filk, which is sort of - fandom-related music. Anyway, my friend plays the fiddle and she writes fiddle solos for my music and I LOVE fiddles - my mouth always just hangs open whenever I hear her play. /random
(... damn, is that all? I was hoping he'd be doing a bit more!)
Yeah :-/
Totally know what you mean about the icon... I *need* one.
no subject
Yeah, I didn't realise that til the show today. He was classically trained (just like me, only I was crap at the violin and moved on to woodwind which is more my thing) and then got into folk music in his late teens.
You 'play Filk'? Do you mean you compose fandom music? Tell me more!
no subject
Yes, I do :-p Sann actually has some of my mp3s, for some reason she likes to listen to me awkwardly strummingthe guitar. I got into filk about two years ago, and I've written a couple of songs. About a year ago I joined together with my friend Silke and now we're a duo, I write, play the guitar and sing and she plays the violin. We had a mini oncert at last year's FilkCon which was amazing - small crowd of course - 70 people perhaps - but very cool, still :-)

I'd love to hear those too, you know.
Are you sure? I tell you in advance, they're very, very basic recordings and I'm not the world's greatest guitar player :-) (Or singer)
And hey, if you're ever after another singer (or a woodwind player)
Oooooh whee! So you're a musician, too?
but if you're mixing stuff and need a track recorded, my brother has the relevant equipment.
Awesome! I might get back to you on that someday! :-) *hug*
no subject
Oh, wow! I've been skimming through, and these are brilliant. Now I really *really* want to hear the music that goes with them!
I'm positive :-) Also, if there are some you don't have recordings of, maybe you could send me the written music so I can read it / play it to myself?
Heh, right, did I not mention that? Yes, I'm what I spose you could call a lapsed musician: it was what I studied at uni, etc etc, and I taught for a while. But then what with one thing and another I ended up working in IT and since I'd likely have to travel to London for a singing teacher, it's all a bit impossible. Bah!
In terms of your compositions, though, should you fancy having a classically trained soprano squeaking out any high bits, or including a clarinet (I can transpose the music for you, I also used to do a lot of orchestration / arrangement) or recorder (of whatever pitch) / tin whistle / whatever... then you know where I am!

*blushes and hifes*

I have basic recordings of most of my songs. The thing is - I can read notes, but I can't really write them. I tried it once, but I just - can't :-p Everything I know about music I taught me myself you know. (Partly because my parents thought I had no talent for music at all) Reading notes, playing the recorder, playing the guitar - I don't know much about music theory. My voice isn't trained, either. And since you've actually studied music (WOW btw) I'm now a little intimidated to send things over - you'll hear all the flaws instantly :-)
Sann says my songs are - catchy, I guess the reason for that is that I can't write music down. I have to play the tune and sing it until I've memorised it :-) So I guess calling my ickle songs "compositions" would be a bit of an overstatement :-) Thus I also can't write intros, outros, solos, harmony voices :-)

Oh, whee!!! Thank you!!! (I love Tin Whistles, I have - three of them, I think. But I'm not sure I play them properly :-p )
