Song lyrics game

I saw this on DCS's LJ page, and since I don't have a LJ of my own, I thought it might be fun to try this little game here:

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. If the name of the song is in the first line, post the first line that does not contain the song's name.
Step 3: Let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly. Comments will be SCREENED until then.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.

Only difference is there'll be no screening of posts. But I will try to edit this original post when someone gets a right answer. I guess it'll have to be first come first served. But hey, help each other out then! :grin:

Ok, so here we go:

1. "I got a big fat Cadillac built for you, I got a honk that'll blow the avenue..."
2. "Monday, start of my Holiday, freedom from just one week, feels good to get away..."
3. "You come around every now and then, Your clothes are different, but you're still the same..."
4. "...I'm falling in love, I'm falling in love for the first time, this time I know it's for real..."
5. "Telling Layla's story spoken, 'Bout how all her bones are broken. Hammers fall on all the pieces, Two months in the cover creases..."
6. " ...my flying, shooting star. Somewhere in the night, my crashing meterorite..."
7. " Whatcha wanna do, wanna be hackers? Code-crackers? Slackers?..." ["It's all About the Pentiums" by "Weird Al" Yankovic - Zaphod[/b]
8. " I thought love was only true in fairytales, meant for someone else but not for me..." "I'm a Believer" by The Monkeys - gen200
9. "There's something wrong with the world today, I don't know what it is. Something's wrong with our eyes..." "Living in the Edge" by Aereosmith - Niko 123000
10. "Slip and slide, push it in, b**** sure got the rhythm..."
11. "I'm learning, I'm yearning, I'm burning all your stuff, but that's enough..."
12. "When you look you see right through me, cut the rope, fell to my knees..."
13. "It's Christmas we're talkin' 'bout......NO! BEWARE! I'll cover you with Fast Eddie's Underwear..."
14. "What do you mean I don't believe in God? I talk to him everyday. What do you mean I don't support your system? I got to court when I have to..."
15. ".*song title*..I heard a sweet boy say...*song title*...this is your lucky day..." D W Washburn" by The Monkeys - ShaynaFox
16. "The seaweed is always greener, in somebody else's lake. You dream about going up there, but that is a big mistake..." "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid - Tum0spoo
17. "I was watching my TV one night when they broke in with a special report, about some devasting Earthquake in Peru..."
18. "Princess in a school girl's dream, May I please speak with you? I'm having troubles with control, And it's all because of you..."
19. "You're always saying that there's something wrong, I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along..."
20. "Look up you're in Cleveland again, A solid line that never ends. I've got stories you'll never believe, And i know it i wear it on my sleeve..."
21. "Monday, back from the dead, I'm letting it go back for another one..."
22. "...It was the lovlist party that I've ever attended, if anything was broken I'm sure it could be mended..." "Your Racist Friend" by They Might be Giants - Fekeal
23. "...We keep the party movin' till the broad daylight, G-E-T-L-I-V-E alright!..."
24. "She saw the look in his eyes, and she knew better. He wanted her tonight, and it was now or never..."
25. "Little bag of bones been out all night, Little bag of bones been out all night. Can ya hear him scratchin' at the screen door?..." "Kitty" by The Presidents of the United States of America - Zaphod
26. "Thought that I'd be happy, gonna be so happy, livin' life alone and never sharing anything..."
27. "Gettin' sick and tired of fossil-like systems, now or never it's time to resist them. It's easy to blast them all away, pull a trigger, press a button, say adios to today..."
28. "It seems today that all you see, is violence in movies and sex on TV..." Family Guy Theme - Osprey
29. "ooooo, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's ssssooooo good. Oooooooo, I'm in love, I'm in love..."
30. "I'd like to think that all this constant interaction is just the kind to make you drive yourself away. Each simple gesture done by me is counteractive, and leaves me standing here with nothing else to say..."

Good luck!

I only recognise #28, which is of course the Family Guy theme.

Edit: Also, once we've all got Tabris' ones, we should get someone else to do one...I did one just for fun.

I think you should reduce the number of songs. Ten is enough.

I agree. 30 lyric verses take up too much space and create confusion. So, therefore, i'd like to second what Tom F. says.

Well I half agree with you, It is "I'm a Beliver" but the version I know is By Smash Mouth, not the Monkees

Also, I think I might know 9., but I can't... remember... the song name...

EDIT: My Player just rolled over it, and It's "Livin on the Edge" by Aerosmith right?

Hmm, I'm not so good with song lyrics.

I do recognize #7. It's Weird Al Yankovic - It's All About The Pentiums.

Is #25 Kitty from the Presidents of the United States of America?

The others, don't know.

I updated the original posts with the correct answers and who got them so far. I'm not sure how long I should wait to reveal the rest of them though. Maybe by the end of the week?

You know, I was thinking the same thing as I was putting this together. Next person who takes charge after me should probably think about doing that.

Oh and Fekeal, after seeing that picture you drew of your character with the TMBG t-shirt, I even thought to myself "Fekeal's gonna get number 22, no problem" as I was putting this together :lol:

Have you seen half the song chioces in my sig? Chances are whoever did that is not in my song collection, so I wouldn't know. I don't know about anyone else though.
