Eh, it's that time again, accrding to swoonstar:

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING

Let's give it a try, then...

1. It's oh so quiet - Bjork

7. Baby One More Time - either Britney Spears (eugh), Travis or Billy Boyd

21. Crocodile Rock - either Elton John or the Beach Boys

22. The Song of Sir Robin - Monty Python (or Neil Innes, if we are to split hairs) from the Holy Grail Soundtrack



Only four songs? Damn, my brain is weak today...

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Four out of four (but it's called Brave Sir Robin on my iTunes.) Good job!

[framianne.livejournal.com]

1 - Bjork - It's Oh So Quiet
7 - Britney Spears - Baby One More Time
15 - Greased Lightning?
21 - Elton John - Crocodile Rock

1. Oh so quiet - Bjork
4. Tainted Love - Soft Cell
7. Baby one more time - Britney Spears
15. Greased Lightning

Heh, this is the most I've ever got in a lyrics meme!

[patsie.livejournal.com]

22. Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot

MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL // SPAMALOT - Brave Sir Robin

I love Monty Python.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Absolutely correct, one out of one :)

[kilted.livejournal.com]

Oh! 12 is "Rainbow Connection" by Kermit the Frog!
15- "Greased Lighting"
22- is it actually called "Brave Sir Robin"? It's by the minstrels (that were eaten, haha)
I imagine I should know more, but I'm crap at this meme...

I still adore that pic of Dom.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Three out of three, well done!

[swear-jar.livejournal.com]

1. Oh So Quiet (or something) by Bjork.
7. Hit Me Baby One More Time (the Billy version? 'Cause it should be!).

7. Britney Spears, or possibly Billy Boyd - Hit Me Baby One More Time
14. Rufus Wainwright - The Tower of Learning
22. Monty Python - er, Brave Sir Robin?
29. Shivaree - Goodnight Moon

Four out of five for not getting It's Oh So Quiet. Also, I'm pretty sure that song's a Bjork original.

Congrats on being the only person to get the Rufus song, though!

I don't know if Stephen Lynch was covering Dr. Demento or you got the artist wrong on that one, though.

7. Hit Me Baby One More Time - hoping you're listening to the Billy Boyd version? If not, Miss Spears

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Eight out of eight, bravo!

I was indeed listening to the Billy version. Also, the Gloria Jones version of Tainted Love and the Stephen Lynch version of Dead Puppies. I wasn't aware that Dr Demento sang it. I understand if that makes you love me less again ;)
