A great meme.

I came across this great meme on Jamelah’s blog a little while ago and couldn’t resist it:

• Put your mp3 player or music player on your computer on random.
• Post the first four lines from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (Skip repeat artists).
• Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.

Leave your guesses in the comments. Some will be super easy, but try not to cheat by Googling.

1. When I met you I should’ve been warned
   Ooh I could see you change from day to day
   But you kept me guessing
   Playing for fun


2. Ahhhh...
   The Lord is a monkey
   Thanksgiving’s coming on the Fourth of July
   In the form of a girl with a needle in her eye


3. Everything is catching
   Yes, everything is catching on fire
   (Everything’s catching on fire)
   Everything is catching on fire (everything’s catching on fire)


4. Stuck inside these four walls
   Sent inside forever
   Never seeing no one nice again like you
   Mama you, mama you


5. Summertime and the livin’s easy,
   and bradley’s on the microphone with ras m.g.
   All the people in the dance will agree
   that we’re well qualified


6. Lyin’, cheatin’, hurtin’, that’s all you seem to do
   Messin’ around, every guy in town
   Puttin’ me down for thinkin’ of someone new
   Always the same, playin’ your game


7. You’re always dancing down the street
   With your suede blue eyes
   And every new boy that you meet
   He doesn’t know the real surprise


8. We got somethin’, we both know it, we don’t talk too much about it
   Ain't no real big secret, all the same, somehow we get around it
   Listen, it don’t really matter to me baby
   You believe what you want to believe, you see


9. People keep on learnin’
   Soldiers keep on warrin’
   World keep on turnin’
   Cause it won't be too long


10. Hey Joe, where you goin’ with that gun in your hand
    Hey Joe, I said where you goin’ with that gun in your hand
    I'm goin’ down to shoot my ol’ lady
    You know I caught her messin’ ‘round with another man


11. You know if you break my heart I’ll go, but I’ll be back
    Again, ’cause I told you once before goodbye, but I came back again.
    I love you so oh I’m the one who wants you, yes, I'm the one
    Who wants you, oh ho, oh ho, oh


12. I saw a man get the beat down
    Took his money and his wallet left him dead on the ground
    I saw them gather celebrate the crime
    Teaching us the laughter another lesson of mankind


13. Deep in the back of my mind is an unrealized sound
    Every feeling I get from the street says it soon could be found
    When I hear the cold lies of the pusher, I know it exists
    It’s confirmed in the eyes of the kids, emphasized with their fist


14. Move aside,
    and let the man go through.
    Let the man go through.
    Move aside,


15. We’re in the basement, learning to print
    All of it’s hot!
    10-20-30 million ready to be spent
    We’re stackin’ ’em against the wall


16. Funny how secrets travel
    I’d start to believe if I were to bleed
    Thin skies, the man chains his hands held high
    Cruise me blond


17. The city streets are empty now THE LIGHTS DON’T SHINE NO MORE
    and so the songs are way down low TURNING TURNING TURNING
    A sound that flows into my mind THE ECHOES OF THE DAYLIGHT
    of everything that is alive IN MY BLUE WORLD


18. I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine.
    I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled - I laid my heart on the line.
    You read me my rights and then you said “Let’s go” and nothing more.
    I thought of my nights, and how they were.


19. When will we get the time to be just friends
    It’s never safe for us not even in the evening
    ’cos I've been drinking
    Not in the morning where your shit works


20. Hey God, why are you doing this to me?
    Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be?
    Why am I seething with this animosity?
    Hey God, I think you owe me a great big apology
