Let's Do the iTunes Shuffle Again!

[barkinmad]

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.

If it's purely instrumental, I'll just put the name of the song.

1. I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend. Jumper - Third Eye Blind, jimmiefearsylar
2. It's true you sold your guitar and bought a car? Goodbye, Love - Rent, punklegolas
3. Pistol shots ring out in a bar room night.
4. All I do is dream of you the whole night through.
5. I wonder if I take you home, would you still be in love, baby?
6. In the car, I just can't wait, to pick you up for our very first date. First Date - Blink-182, punklegolas
7. I needed the shelter of someone's arms, and there you were.
8. Thought I saw you running with the West Wind in your face.
[Rhapsody in Blue - George Gershwin]
9. The summer wind came blowing in from across the sea.
[Closing - Danny Elfman (Nightmare Before Christmas)]
10. The moment I saw him smile, I knew he was just my style.
11. Went down to the mountain, I was drinkin' some wine.
12. I can feel her heartbeat from a thousand miles. (I'll take the original, because the cover is by a duo no one is ever going to get.) This is LJ, who am I kidding?
13. Summertime, and the living is easy. Summertime - Billie Holiday, jimmiefearsylar
14. Look at these people, amazing how sheep will slow up for the slaughter. Slipping - Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, punklegolas
15. Because the world is round it turns me on. Because - The Beatles, jimmiefearsylar
16. I've been really tryin', baby, tryin' to hold back this feeling for so long. Let's Get it On - Marvin Gaye, jimmiefearsylar
17. "There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief. All Along the Watchtower - Bob Dylan, jimmiefearsylar
18. Old man sunshine, listen you, don't you tell me dreams come true.
19. Velvet I can wish ya, for the color of your coat, and fortune smiling all along your way.
[The Nightmare - Anastasia]
20. Got an angel on the stairs (as if you'd even care).
21. Lying in my bed I hear the clock ticking and I think of you.
22. Little darlin', it's been a long cold lonely winter. Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles, jimmiefearsylar
23. He left no time to regret, kept his dick wet, with the same old safe bet. Back to Black - Amy Winehouse, violetlemon47
24. Maybe far away, or maybe real near by.
25. Double double, boil and bubble, fire burn and cauldron bubble.

You know I love a good "Guess the song from the lyrics!" meme. Everyone knows that. What you don't know is that I don't so much love a Bean-posted "Guess the song from the lyrics meme"... because I never know as many of them as I should. What you also don't know is that I just tried to download the very song you were listening to when you posted this a few days ago. There were about 7 million versions of the song, and I chose that one because I was like, "I don't know half of the people singing these, but I know those two, so I will go for that one. Plus, bean listens to those guys, so they can't be all that bad." That's right, when I see Ella and Loius, I don't think "legends!" I think "bean!"

1. "Jumper" by Third Eye Blind
5. LOL. I have no idea what this is on yours. If it was mine it would be "I Wonder If I Take You Home" by Lisa Lisa and The Cult Jam.
6. I knew it was familiar, so I Googled it. Thus I know who it is but I will not say. I fail, as I own the CD.
13. I know it's "Summertime", but I don't know whose version it is. My favorite? Greg Kinnear from "Stuck On You".
15. Because - The Beatles (Or the "Around The Universe" soundtrack. Either one.)
16. Let's Get It On - Marvin Gaye
17. All Along The Watchtower. Dylan? Hendrix? I say Dylan!
22. Here Comes The Sun. Hooray for George!, I mean Hooray for The Beatles! (But mostly George.)
25. Is that some McBeth? Who makes a song out of McBeth. Shakespeare suuuuucks!!!

7 is "How Sweet" by SOMEONE!

[growling.livejournal.com]

#2: Rent - Goodbye Love
#6: First Date - Blink 182

14#: IT IS DOCTOR HORRIBLE....Slipping?
15#: Because - Across the Universe/The Beatles
16#: Let's get it on...?
25#: All I remember is Harry Potter. lol

[violetlemon47.livejournal.com]

23. Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

[barkinmad.livejournal.com]

Aw! How sweet! Except that it's not Louis Armstrong, it's Louis Jordan, and I have almost no idea who that is. Certainly not a legend.

1. You are the first person to get this! Congratulations!
5. Um...no. I actually think this is the only song by this group that I have, since I generally don't like them.
6. Aw.
13. My version is by Billie Holiday in a tribute to Gershwin classics.It's originally from Porgy and Bess.
15. Correct! And you are actually the one who gave this song to me since it's from "Love".
17. Yay! Yeah, it's Dylan. It occurs to me that I should probably have Hendrix, and I would have accepted that as correct, but I'm excited that you knew about and chose Dylan.
25. Excuse me? It's MacBeth. And awesome people do, that's who.

[barkinmad.livejournal.com]

Gots to give me a name!

[barkinmad.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, they were all correct!

Except that someone already got Because and you need names from the last two :/

[barkinmad.livejournal.com]

Yay! You are the first to get this song on either side!

[jimmiefearsylar.livejournal.com]

Aww, mass confusion strikes again! I totally knew that you listen to Louis Armstrong, but Louis Jordan is a legend too! Of course he is a legend I would not have known had I not taken a class on the subject, but (even though I can't tell you anything he did, as he was from the 1920s, big band music and all that) that does not negate his legend status.

1. Yes! What do I win? I demand a prize!
5.LOL. I knew that the one you had was not the one I know. Though I bet that if I looked into it, your song blatantly stole that line from my song. More on this later.
6.To add to it, if am not mistaken, I not only own that CD, I own all of their CDs. That only makes it worse, right?
13. Now I wonder if in my version the musical that Walt Tenor is performing in is indeed "Porgie and Bess." To the Youtube! It is. Here's proof. Now I want to watch the movie. Alas, it is late and I work early tomorrowday.
15. Nice! The more versions of Beatles songs the better! That's what I always say! Or at least it's what I'm saying right now. Unless the song sucks. In which case, I saw "Turn that off! Immediately!" (I'm looking at you "Yesterday"!)
17. I love the Hendrix version and don't think I have ever heard the full Dylan version, but I know it exists and I know you like Dylan. Ergo, Dylan got the nod.
5. Oh no! I am now hoping that there is some third song using this line because.. oh man. Though if there is, I have had to listen to a group I vowed never to listen to for no reason. Oh no. And now, here's a link to the original! Rappers ruining stealing from the 80s because they know people are too young to know what they have stolen from is one of my pet peeves!
2. I noticed my Shakespeare-related typo as soon as I submitted the post. But I figured I would let it stand unacknowledged as a sign of my Shakespeare-hate.

And now that I have spent a good chunk of time here commenting and not-working, I shall go. Go to work? No, go to bed.

21. 'Time after Time', and my version is by Eva Cassidy, though I know there are lots more...

[growling.livejournal.com]

Well Lets get It On is Marvin Gaye....the other I am not sure. :/

[burkle.livejournal.com]

20 is King of New Orleans by Better Than Ezra.
(I always love when people like them. It seems like not many people know who they are and they're awesome.)

[serendipily.livejournal.com]

Uh ... it's by ...

Marvin Gaye?
