Yet another fun meme via Gwen. (updated 29 June with missing song titles added)
The Rules
Step 1: Put your iPod/MP3 player or iTunes on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post it on your blog and let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Update the list with the song title when someone guesses correctly. (I will identify any unguessed songs by next week some time.)
Step 5: Make your guesses by leaving a comment or sending me email. You have to identify both title and artist, and you're not allowed to Google any of these, either.

Not to take away from Alice's game, but I've done it too! Why don't you take a gander on londoncanuck.blogspot.com...cheers me dears...
Hello there, my guess is that #10 is AHA 'The Sun Always Shines on TV'. You may send me my prize through the post. Thank you.
Abby, you are correct! Well played!
Wow, no one has identified number 19.....kinda sad or melancholy or even Mellancampy.......grrr cougar......
Well, Anonymous, I hope you don't think that counts as a right answer.
15. "Landslide", either by Stevie Nicks or the Dixie Chicks
19. "Jack and Diane" John Cougar Mellencamp
Sucks to be you Anonymous! Gwen got it.
Nice work Gwen - for some reason I didn't think anyone would get Landslide.
I've jumped on this bandwagon too...

#13 is the Pop Song by REM
Thank you Stinkydog! I thought that one was really obvious - I couldn't believe it took so long!
I knew it because I'm old. :) And you were right on mine, btw.
I'm an intruder here and embarassed that I know the answer to No.4 but I do:
Ronan Keating, Last thing on My mind.
Let's hope no-one I know ever visits here or my head will forever be hung in shame!
Good game anyway.
Ha! Le Chat, you are correct! And there's no need for you to be embarassed. I'm the one that has this on my iPod!
My Guess for #9 is either the waves (maybe ft katrina??) or the bangles: going down to liverpool.
have to say... i know you're all brit now, and by association have to love robbie williams, but i want to murder any song written about the millenium. Except Prince's 1999. 'Cause that's different.

Oooh, I'm on a roll here. Is there a prize? I was in the pub earlier and heard no.16. Couldn't think at first why the words were familiar but then I remembered your little game. Much to the embarrassment of my girlfriend, I went up and asked the bloke who had put it on the jukebox, what it was.
Anyway, No 16 is Blue Rodeo and Runaway Train. Well, I hope it is and he wasn't taking the piss.
