Borrowed from Kelsey's blog because there's not a whole lot to mention about work at the moment and because I've just been downloading music onto my MP3 player. :) It appears to be quite a popular bloggy thing to do, too, from a quick Google.
Step 1: Get your play list together, put it on random, and play.
Step 2: Write down the first line (or close to it) from the first 20 songs that play.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from. No search engines, please.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly
So, if you'd like to play along, feel free to write the answers in a comment. Otherwise, you can just see what bizarre taste in music I have. (I confess I cheated a bit and took out some from bands that I have a lot of songs by and that had the title right in the first line, since that would make it a bit too easy. And boring.) And I fully admit that some of them are embarrassing!
1. So you say you wanna tie the knot. And you're asking me if I think that the two of you have got what it takes to make it work? All You Really Need is Love by Brad Paisley
2. She said, "I seen you in here before." I said, "I've been here a time or two." Dancin' Librarian got Toby Keith, and Rachel added the title, As Good as I Once Was.
3. Dear Abby, Dear Abby, my feet are too long. My hair's fallin' out and my rights are all wrong. Dear Abby by John Prine
4. I love to look into your big brown eyes, they talk to me and seem to hypnotize. Deuces are Wild by Aerosmith
5. I know you like me, I know you do. That's why whenever I come around, she's all over you. Librarian Girl got it - Don't Cha by the Pussycat Dolls (it's the song I'm most ashamed of downloading!)
6. Don't rock the jukebox, I wanna hear some Jones. 'Cause my heart ain't ready for the Rolling Stones. Rainey got it - Don't Rock the Jukebox by Alan Jackson
7. Are you gonna take me home tonight? Ahh down beside that red firelight? Rebecca got it - Fat-Bottomed Girls by Queen
8. She stood there bright as the sun on that California coast. He was a Midwestern boy on his own. Jamie got it half-right, it's Bob Seger. And then Tired Tunia got the title - Hollywood Nights.
9. You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best. I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left. Rebecca! - Home for a Rest by Spirit of the West
10. Well, you're a real hot cookie with your new hairdo, your high-heeled boots, and your credit card. Rachel knows her country, too - it's Homewrecker by Gretchen Wilson.
11. Last night we went to bed not talkin', 'cause we'd already said too much. I Just Wanna Be Mad by Terri Clark
12. We used to drink our Bacardi behind the old school and bitch about dreams that would never come true. I Liked You Better When You Hated Yourself by The Badlees
13. What is the world comin' to when lovers can't believe they got a love comin' true and then they up and leave? Imagine That by Diamond Rio

15. Somewhere there's a stolen halo, I used to watch her wear it well. Holy Water by Big and Rich
16. You may think I'm foolish for the foolish things I do. Librarian Girl again - Pink Cadillac by Bruce Springsteen
17. Well, life on the farm is kinda laid-back,ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack. Helen got Thank God I'm a Country Boy. My version's by a guy called Billy Dean, but of course John Denver did it first.
18. Hustlers shootin' eight-ball, throwin' darts at the wall, feelin' damn near 10 feet tall, here she comes, Lord, help us all. Dancin' Librarian obviously dances to country music, she got Honky Tonk Badonkadonk by Trace Adkins
19. I used to smoke 5 packs of cigarettes a day, it was the hardest thing to put them away. Jamie again recognized Bob. But the title...? Tryin' to Live my Life Without You
20. You do the jitterbug, you do the jitterbug... Rebecca's right again - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham!
April 1st - I figure everyone's finished guessing, so I've put the rest of the answers in purple. :) Thanks for playing, everyone!
