Music game

Ashley had a fun meme on her blog, and I thought I’d tag myself for it. The rules:

Step 1: Put your music player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly (No lyric hunting! That is cheating!)

1.    Got me on a short leash, tied to your screen door
2.    How soft a whisper can get when you’re walking through a crowded space
3.    All thru the day I me mine, I me mine, I me mine (I me mine – The Beatles)
4.    Operator, well can you help me place this call? (Operator – Jim Croce)
5.    Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray (We didn’t start the fire – Billy Joel)
6.    I can see why you think you belong to me
7.    Sugar, aw honey honey, you are my candy girl (Sugar sugar – The Archies)
8.    There must be some kind of way outta here (All Along the watchtower – Jimi Hendrix)
9.    I’ve paid my dues, time after time, I’ve done my sentence but committed no crime (We are the champions – Queen)
10.    Well I’m gunna raise a fuss, I’m gunna raise a holler (Summertime Blues – Alan Jackson)
11.    Oh the weather outside is frightful (Let it snow)
12.    She was in the backyard, say it was a little past 9 (Suds in the bucket – Sara Evans)
13.    Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got (Theme from ‘Cheers’)
14.    I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes (Love is all around – from Love, Actually)
15.    I backed my car into a cop car the other day (Float on – Modest Mouse)
16.    There’s a storm across the valley, clouds are rolling in, the afternoon lies heavy on your shoulders (Back home again – John Denver)
17.    She ain’t got no money, her clothes are kinda funny, her hair is kinda wild and free (Love grows – Edison Lighthouse)
18.    Para bailar la bamba (La Bamba – Richie Valens)
19.    Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone I hear you call my name and it feels like home (Like a Prayer – Madonna)
20.    Bright light city going to set my soul, going to set my soul on fire, got a whole lotta money that’s ready to burn (Viva Las Vegas – Elvis Presley)
21.    I know you wanna leave me but I refuse to let you go – (Ain’t too proud to beg – Temptations)
22.    I got a new life you would hardly recognize me I’m so glad
23.    Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots and ruined your black-tie affair (Friends in low places- Garth Brooks)
24.    Turn it up turn it up turn it upside down (Turn the beat around – Gloria Estefan)
25.    Sing, sing a song, sing out loud, sing out strong (Sing a song – Karen Carpenter)
So come on, guess which songs these are! Don’t cheat, k? I’m not going to tag anyone but if you wanna do it, let me know so I can come over to your blog and guess your songs.
