The iPod Shuffle

I don't have an iPod, but DH's phone does function as an MP3 player, and we loaded it with music we both love, so I'll use that. Originally seen on Valerie's blog quite a while back, but I was reminded of it today by Belinda posting some results to hers. Not much else to talk about right now, so may as well play. I'll leave this up until Friday, Nov 14, then give the answers.

The problem with a few of mine is that the title of the song is the first line! I'm going to try to work around that somehow, so I may bend the rules just a touch.

And if you have time, you should watch the emoticon at the bottom all the way through. It takes about 20 seconds or so, but I think it's pretty funny.

Step 1: Put your iPod or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the 1st line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. And it doesn't have to be perfect if you can't understand the lyrics word for word.
Step 3: Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

1. Just when I believed I couldn't ever want for more Heather got it.
2. Saturday night I was downtown, working for the FBI [cover version, but will accept original artist] Matt got it (via Cyndi, his wife)
3. Well I see him on the TV, preachin' 'bout the promise lands Jenn (Sewunicorn) got it.

19. I was alone, thunderclouds were rolling; You came along, Cupid was out strolling
20. I've got a dream 'bout an angel on the beach, and the perfect waves are starting to come Ginny got the title, which is shocking enough!
21. If you said goodbye to me tonight, there would still be music left to write Valerie got it.

23. Pop, Six, Squish, Uh uh, Cicero, Lipschitz! Leah got it.
24. Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me, I think they're ok Melissa C. got it.
25. From a phone booth in Vegas, [insert title] calls at five AM Cris got it.
26. [insert title] [variation of title] I got married to the widow next door [don't know if this is the original artist or not] Lisa got it.

30. Hold on little girl, show me what he's done to you Anonymous got it.

(And before anyone thinks Ginny monopolized the list, she waited until Thursday to send in her guesses (the day before I will post the answers). She got 8 of them! Guess that means she and I have terribly similar musical tastes, LOL.)

Currently feeling: rockin'
