song lyrics meme

Stolen from crickets:
1. Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.
2. Record the first few lines of the first thirty twenty songs that come up that do not give away the name of the song. Skip instrumentals, but don't skip the embarrassing ones.
3. Ask hapless LJ denizens to guess the song names and artists. Google is cheating. For musical songs, the name of the musical is acceptable in place of the artist.
4. Least hapless LJ denizen wins admiration.

Did you check the hall?
I checked
Underneath the bed
Right
At the studio, no RCAs and we're dead

I had forgiven you
For tricking me

What a piece of work is man
How noble in reason
How infinite in faculties

I first knew love's delight
When presto, out of the blue
A dream appeared one night
And whispered, how do you do

005.
Warm yourself by the fireside
And the morning will come soon
I'll tell you stories of a better time
In a place that we once knew

006.
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby, they're tumbling down
They didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
Halo/Walking On Sunshine, Glee Cast

Statues
They're very hot in France
On statues

Seeing is believing
And in my arms I see her
She's here, really here, really mine now

Us and them
And after all
We're only ordinary men

It was on the twenty-third of June
As I lay blasted in my room
A small bird sang on an ivy branch
And the song he sang was "A Jug Of Punch"

012.
Come on ...
I wanna be pretty, I wanna be rich
I wanna be strong, I wanna rule the world
Speak seventeen languages

013.
I've often thought about the
Nature of our meeting
A handshake for a greeting
A look of tenderness in your eyes

014.
We go out to a party somewhere
The moment we walk in the door
We both stop and everybody stares
She don't know what they're staring for

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions but only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
The Rainbow Connection, Kermit The Frog (covered by Daphne Rubin-Vega)

Who's that girl?
What's her name?
Is she cool?
Is she lame?

Alligators snap at your ankles
Branches snap at your brain
If I ever get through this swamp alive
I'll nevermore pray for rain

And you will see
What you mean to me

When I was nine
I learned survival
Taught myself not to care
Pity The Child - Chess

He was sitting there beside me throwing doubles down
When he ordered up his third one he looked around
Then he looked at me and said, "I do believe I'll have one more"


A decent number of those are covers, so I'll give you a pass on the artist name if you know the original.
Some of these are really kind of obscure and I will be shocked if anyone guesses them, but some of them are really not obscure at all and I will be extremely disappointed if no one guesses them.
