Random Playlist Lyrics Meme

Thanks to ang_grrr

Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play!
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play!
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from!
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly!

OK, it's the entire iTunes playlist, on random, so the first 25 of, um, 14,389. And I've actually put it on Party Shuffle and stripped out things that Don't Seem Quite Right. Like the first track, very famous but with No Good Lyrics At All. And the second, which is instrumental. And the fourth, which is in Gaelic, and where web lyric sites tell me it's instrumental (it's not). And the sixth, which is by Fleetwood Mac. And the fourteenth, which I had no idea was on my iMac. And the sixteenth, which was an iTrip code. And some other instrumentals, and a song which I know I have (I got it off drplokta) but which is truly execrable.

What's left ranges, I think, from trivial to really quite hard.

Entirely separately, I realise I have to start writing about music. That and print Christmas cards. One or the other.

Anyway, here goes: start your engines.
