I am very very tired. So I do meme instead of thinking and providing content. Aren't you proud of my ability to stay off livejournal? *ironic rolly eyes*

Step 1: Put your MP3 player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) of 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.
Step 5: NO CHEATING (that goes for the guesser, too!)

Oh, and if you want any of these just let me know and I'll upload. ;)

My Breakfast at Tiffanys is labelled Moxy Fruvous, actually, but how should I know. :D

[batyatoon]

Possibly we don't have the same one? But I would recognize those scat vocals anywhere. :D

[manynames.livejournal.com]

I do love this meme.

1. Damien Rice - Cannonball (? not sure of the song, actually)
7. Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You
8. I almost don't want to dignify this one with REM - It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
12c. Blur - Coffee and TV
14. Nina Simone/Muse/Ramones/about a million other artists - Feeling Good

[villainny.livejournal.com]

'tis cannonball, yes. And the end of the world... is actually a cover by Great Big Sea which is woahmg fast, and Feeling Good as done by Michael Bublé. Man's voice is SEX.

You're too good at this, dude. And I bet the Muse version ain't as good as the Michael Bublé version. That's not the title I have on the Rufus, but that's probably my issue, and no to the Bjork, actually.

[chasing-laura.livejournal.com]

Ahh, balls. The Rufus one is...Am I Right? I think. Um.

I think that Bjork song uses an e.e.cummings poem (I Will Wade Out I think again!), but I dunno. I'm in a permanent state of confuddlement, I'm amazed I got any of these.

The Muse version is Matt warbling like a cat on acid, of course.

And also, I love that Living End song.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

[mary-re.livejournal.com]

Actually, the Rufus Wainwright one is called "Old Whore's Diet". I dug out my cd to double-check.
