Lyrics Quiz

I believe I am actually the one responsible for this making its way around the blogosphere. It started as a Facebook meme, and some of the people I tagged started posting it on their blogs. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to try it again here.

The rules:

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike through when someone gets them right.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING. So is looking at my last.fm feed for the last hour or so...

I didn't exactly pick 25 in a row. I skipped over most of the ones that had the title in the first line (this is true of a lot of opera) and tried to limit the number of Spanish ones that came up.

Good luck!
