or in my case bebo note things. here's one of quite a few.

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 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: Bold them when someone gets them right. (because i dunno how to strikethrough here)
Step 5: looking the lyrics up isn't allowed.

1. every night I’m lying in bed holding you close in my dreams. (Meesh)

2. if you’re scared and it shows ‘cause you’re watching them grow

3. the trouble with schools is, they always try to teach the wrong lesson (Smile)

4. head under water, and they tell me to breathe easy for a while (Smile)

5. I see a red door and I want it painted black (TheatreFanFran!)

6. late afternoon, another day is nearly done. A darker grey is breaking through a lighter one.

7. four little words just to get me along, it’s a difficulty and I’m biting on my tongue (little-glinda)

8. this one’s going out to the strip joints (Meesh)

9. wind me up, put me down, start me up and watch me go (Clairy_Fairy)

10. The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling way down in the valley tonight. (Clairy_Fairy)

11. open up your mind and let me step inside (TheatreFanFran!)

12. he wants to die in a lake in geneva, the mountains can cover the shape of his nose

13. whatcha been doin’, watcha been doin’. Wooah wooah. (seriously, those are the lyrics) (Meesh)

14. Drop your glasses, shake your asses. Face screwed up like you having hot flashes (Meesh)

15. you can’t touch this. You can’t touch this (TheatreFanFran!)

16. almost heaven, west Virginia, blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah river. (Meesh)

17. I probably shouldn’t say this, but at times I get so scared. (Clairy_Fairy)

18. the light still in our eyes, we’re leaving this old fairground behind (Clairy_Fairy)

19. she’s such a charmer, oh no. (Meesh)

20. well I don’t know why I came here tonight, I got a feeling that something ain’t right. (Clairy_Fairy)

I'll do it as soon as I get my mp3 player back (it broke down after two weeks... )
I feel very ignorant, I recognised only two songs

3. Obviously Dancing through life

4. Love Song (I can play it on the piano while I'm singing it, I think it's the only one apart from Let It Be...).

That's it. I feel sooo ignorant.

Smile

gutted about the mp3 player, i had about 3 that broke before i gave up and bought an ipod. old faithful ipod.

and you're not ignorant at all, i just have an obscure taste in music. and actually looking back at the lyrics there are a few i can't even remember what they are.

and the wicked song came up on shuffle's own accord, possibly because it's one of my most played.

Smile: Don't worry I only rcognised one apart from the dancing through life. (7. That's not my name-The TingTings.) Unless they're from musicals or from long long ago then the likelihood of me recognising any songs is very slim :L

x x

YEY!! A FB note thingy!!

5 - Paint It Black - Lee Mead/Rolling Stones
11 - Play the Game - Queen (or rather, the cast of WWRY! lol)
15 - Is is ' U Can't Touch This' - MC Hammer?

I've got 5 and 11 on my iPod too...*runs to get No. 15 and a pair of MC Hammer trousers*

good work gang. paint it black is the stones version, not lee mead. there are no words to describe how much i dislike that guy. and play the game is the wwry cast. my musicals knowledge is pretty limited apart from the obvious ones and i've only ever seen wicked and phantom on stage. deprived of musicals i am.

Oh great I didn't even recognise a song from WWRY
Little-Glinda, then you'll have fun when my mp3 gets back.. I listen ONLY to musicals and old music Don't know how much "long ago" you mean, but still I'm pretty old fashioned
Smile!
