Been meaning to do this one for a couple of days. Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] weirdweb and from [livejournal.com profile] tptigger:

Step 1: Put your media player on random.
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.


1) Two men say they're Jesus/One of them must be wrong

2) One night you play Elizabeth Taylor/The next is Marilyn Monroe

3) Gina dreams of running away/She cries in the night

4) You got your hotpants on/You got your arse right out

5) There's dust in my eyes/That blinds my sight

6) I will love you/When the moon is riding high

7) And there I stood/Just like a soldier

8) Did you ever feel like you needed shelter?

9) Carnival! The wheels fly and the colours spin

10) De landlord say your rent is late/He may have to litigate!

11) A close encounter with a hard-hearted man/Who never gave half of what he got

12) Hey! What's this feeling?

13) Miss a beat/Lose the rhythm

14) I walk the maze of moments

15) When you make love/Do you look in the mirror?

16) So you think you can love me and spit in my eye?

17) You'll find it next week/Lying out on the lawn!

18) Je tu desire/The time has come*

19) I feel it in my fingers/I feel it in my toes

20) What's the time?/Seems it's already morning

21) When leaves have fallen and skies turn to grey/The night keeps on closing in on the day

22) Air sgiath a' seoladh nan neoil**

23) How will you do it, might I enquire to ask?/I will do it with my spear and magic helmet!

24) Well he's a liar and I'm not sure about you

25) Well I saw Roxy on the table/Her girlfriend down below

* Before anyone points it out, no, the second half of the lyric does not translate the first half
** This is Scots gaelic (I admit, I did cheat and look it up - I wasn't prepared to take a flying guess!). The translation is "This flight is sailing through the clouds"

Let me give this a try...

#10: "Don't Worry, Be Happy" - Bobby McFerrin.
#13: "Right Now" - Van Halen.
#16: "Bohemian Rhapsody" - Queen.*
#17: Is it from "Cats?"
#23: Spear and magic helmet? Okay, wait, was this helmet worn by Elmer Fudd or am I thinking of the wrong thing?

*I blame Mike Myers for my instant identification of this one.

19. Love is all around - Wet Wet Wet or maybe the Troggs or whoever has covered it now, alternatively it could be Christmas is all around off the Love Acutally soundtrack. Do I get bonus points for being a geek and offering lots of solutions? *g*

*laughs* I think that gets you several bonus points, yes - though it's the Wet Wet Wet version I've been listening to.

5. Pink Floyd ~ Sorrow
7. Bon Jovi ~ (maybe "Edge of a") Broken Heart?
8. Bon Jovi ~ Save a Prayer
15. Def Leopard ~ Love Bites

I dont think I would have caught number 8, had 3 and 7 not brought his music to the front of my mind. And 15 will be playing through my head all day. Thanks.

Yes, yes (no maybe about it ;)), yes (it's an obscurish track but one of my favourites *grin*) and yes (I'd be apologetic about you humming that all day, but I've been humming it much of the last week, so I say fair's fair!)

8's a good song, but I looked and dont have that album anymore and cant remeber the name of the album. And most people only toss in Slippery When Wet and leave it at that. I may have to go looking for that one again as I have an itch to listen to it.

The album's Keep the Faith, though depending on where you are in the world you may or may not get Save a Prayer on it - it was a European bonus track. (At least, it is, according to my copy!)

You have way too much Bon Jovi

*laughs* I'm a BJ nut. I can't help it if I have BJ MP3 files lying around all over my harddrive!
