Apr. 27th, 2006 07:14 pmiTunes on random. First line of first 20 tracks. A no-prize for the first one to get title AND artist. I skipped about three instrumentals, and I also skipped the chorus of a couple of things that start with a chorus (so first line of verse).
1."I can't believe the news today." U2, "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" - points to
filkerdave
2."Just think of all those hungry mouths we have to feed."
katyhh gets the points for Queen's "Is This The World We Created?"
3." Whatcha wanna be - when you grow up?"
bardiclug spots Bryan Adam's "Star"
4."I don't want to rent a house from you." .... and the Police's "Landlord"
5."There was a time, when crazy days would start with wine." -
djbp is right - it's Robbie Williams. But which? "Clean", which nets
rdmaughan the FINAL half point.
6."She's a girl in a world, she's moving as fast as she goes." -
djbp correctly spots the Corrs' "Hurt Before".
7."From this moment life has begun." - I do indeed have no shame,
stevieannie - Shania Twain, "From This Moment"
8."Shall I tell you about my life?" Surprising the first Mac track on the list wasn't a Nicks-era one - "Man Of The World", points to
bardiclug
9."We'll be fighting in the streets." the epic "Won't Get Fooled Again" by the 'Orrible 'Oo, - points to
filkerdave
10."For a little peace in any season."
xia_pei spots the really obscure Mac track, "Keep On Going" from 'Mystery to Me' - I knew I liked her for a reason.
11."How do you do what you do to me?" "How Do You Do It?" The Beatles, spotted by
bardiclug
12."I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend..."
redaxe gets the points (Beatles again - "Can't Buy Me Love")
13."Have mercy, baby on a poor girl like me." Yup - there was at least one Mac track :)
catmcroy gets the award for spotting "Say You Love Me"
14."Well, I'm runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load..."
grey_lady correctly identifies The Eagles' "Take It Easy"
15."Ruthie got a job, and nothing went right." -
antonia_tiger displays commendable taste and identifies Linda Davis' "Company Time".
16."Woke up this morning with light in my eyes." Mr Spaceman, but not the Byrds.
bardiclug gets half a point, the other point for someone who can guess which version, namely
katyhh for spotting it was off the Return To The Forbidden Planet soundtrack.
17."I had a dream. Crazy dream." - Led Zep's "Song Remains the Same", spotted by
adrianclark
18."I was searchin' on a one way street." -
jeremy_5x5's brain finally yields up the title, courtesy of ELO's "Sweet Talking Woman"
19."Do people have a tendency to dump on you?" -
katyhh gets "Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine" by Simon and Garfunkel
20."My mind is clearer now." - half a point to
madfilkentist for the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack, but I need a title, which
antonia_tiger furnishes correctly as 'Heaven On Their Minds'.

Date: 2006-04-27 07:59 pm (UTC)11... I recall a song with those exact words, but not the artist. Some sort of 60s pop... Freddie and the Dreamers? Gerry and the Pacemakers? Jimmy and the Laminators? I'll just keep making them up until I get it right... ;-)
