First lines music meme, gakked from aizjanika. The rules:

Put your current music playlist on "shuffle" and list the first line of each of the first 30 songs (no matter how embarrassing). Post in your journal and see if your readers can guess the title and artist.

#16 is Rogue Wave, In Your Eyes (on perma-spin in my earworm at the moment)

#22 must be Toxic by someone hwo isn't Britney. What's wrong with Britters? I loved that vid!

Every single other line made me go bzuh?

[graculus.livejournal.com]

The version of Toxic I have is by someone else, since Britney is not quite my kind of thing...

21. Closer to Fine by Indigo Girls

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Indeed. :)

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

4) Bush, "Comedown"

12) Goo Goo Dolls, "Iris"

27) Great Big Sea, "When I'm Up (I Can't Get Down)"

29) Dandy Warhols, "Bohemian Like You"

(all of which I love. *g*)

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Clearly my taste in music is not quite as obscure as I'd thought! ;)

[atdelphi.livejournal.com]

Darn - most of the ones I knew have already been guessed. *g* Is #7 "We're Not Right" by David Gray and #28 "Carnival Town" by Norah Jones?

[graculus.livejournal.com]

They are indeed. ;)

[stop_thinking]

#20 Black Horse and the Cherry Tree (KT Tunstall)

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is. :)

Good idea cutting those where the title was the first line. Since I was on an oldies kick, a lot of my songs had the title in the first line, and I'm surprised that still nobody got a lot of those. :-)

I want to play, but I don't know any of yours! I'm very bad at this game, but I also think I don't know most of the artists, or if I do know them, I don't really know their music very well.

Many of these are pretty obscure, so I'll be impressed if anyone gets them...

Now that I read this, I don't feel too bad. *g*
