iTunes 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 [livejournal.com profile] filkerdave
2. "Just think of all those hungry mouths we have to feed." [livejournal.com profile] katyhh gets the points for Queen's "Is This The World We Created?"
3. " Whatcha wanna be - when you grow up?" [livejournal.com profile] 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." - [livejournal.com profile] djbp is right - it's Robbie Williams. But which? "Clean", which nets [livejournal.com profile] rdmaughan the FINAL half point.
6. "She's a girl in a world, she's moving as fast as she goes." - [livejournal.com profile] djbp correctly spots the Corrs' "Hurt Before".
7. "From this moment life has begun." - I do indeed have no shame, [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] bardiclug
9. "We'll be fighting in the streets." the epic "Won't Get Fooled Again" by the 'Orrible 'Oo, - points to [livejournal.com profile] filkerdave
10. "For a little peace in any season." [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] bardiclug
12. "I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend..." [livejournal.com profile] 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 :) [livejournal.com profile] catmcroy gets the award for spotting "Say You Love Me"
14. "Well, I'm runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load..." [livejournal.com profile] grey_lady correctly identifies The Eagles' "Take It Easy"
15. "Ruthie got a job, and nothing went right." - [livejournal.com profile] 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. [livejournal.com profile] bardiclug gets half a point, the other point for someone who can guess which version, namely [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] adrianclark
18. "I was searchin' on a one way street." - [livejournal.com profile] 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?" - [livejournal.com profile] katyhh gets "Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine" by Simon and Garfunkel
20. "My mind is clearer now." - half a point to [livejournal.com profile] madfilkentist for the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack, but I need a title, which [livejournal.com profile] antonia_tiger furnishes correctly as 'Heaven On Their Minds'.

1) U2, "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" (I think)
9) The Who, "Won't Get Fooled Again"
14) The Eagles, "Take it Easy"

I know I know more of these, but my brain is eaten up by work!

Nobody's gotten #20 yet? That's easy! It's the opening song from Jesus Christ Superstar.

I never get the answers to these, let alone get them first!

Gee, thanks for getting that music's line stuck in my head for me. I've not looked at the titles in a looong time, but "Heaven On Their Minds" sticks in my mind.

BIG DUH!!! And here I was, thinking "I *KNOW* no. 16 ..." but it didn't click.
Of COURSE ... Mr. Spaceman! What fun that was when Phoenix did it a capella when they were at FilkCONtinental in 1998 ... :)

"How Do You Do It" may have been by the Beatles, but in America the hit version was by the British group Gerry and the Pacemakers. It was one of my favorite songs....

17 is Led Zeppelin, "The Song Remains the Same".

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... ;-)
