Shuffle meme

All the cool kids are doing this meme, but I've been resisting because I don't have an iPod. I broke down today when CAE specifically tagged me to do it. I figured I could make do by leafing through my old-school travel cd case to list the 25 songs I've listened to the most lately. Unfortunately, I pretty much only listen to 2 or 3 cds, so I tired to come up with songs I really like even if they're not in regular rotation. Even that didn't get me to 25, so I took a trip down memory lane to fill in the list with favorite songs from throughout my life. I think I need to cut back on the NPR.

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.


Bonus points if you can pick out the two songs from the cds I have on repeat. More bonus points if you can identify what was my first favorite song.

1. Someday mother will die and I’ll get the money
2. When you grow up livin’ like a good boy outta
3. This is the beat that make you shake your rump
That make your booty go ba-bump, ba-bump
It’s that beat that make ya bump ya bump (ohh)
4. I’m wearing
fur pajamas
5. Ground control to Major Tom
6. Drop your glasses, shake your asses
7. All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
8. Hello darkness my old friend
9. You never give me your money
10. Sunshine came softly a-through my window today
11. The queen of light took her bow and then she turned to go
12. I want you to know that I’m happy for you
13. Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
14. She keeps moet et chandon in her pretty cabinet
15. Sitting on a park bench eyeing little girls with bad intent
16. I was lying in the grass on Sunday morning of last week indulging in my self defeats
17. Alcohol on my hands I got plans to ditch myself and get outside
Dancing women
Throwing plates
Decapitating their laughing dates
Swirling chickens caught in flight
Out of focus
Much too bright
Coming down
Shiny teeth
Game show suckers trying to bleed
But I got a drug and I got the bug
And I got something better than love
18. We’ve come a long long way together
19. You’ve got to trust your instinct and let go of regret
Youve got to bet on yourself now star
cause thats your best bet
Watch me now with a wicked and wild and I said
We come with the funky style
That gets us known for the show
And well mix the hip hop reggae if we say it is so
And fuck the naysayers cause they dont mean a thingcause this is what style we bring
20. Good mornin’ ladies and gentlemen, boys and motherfuckin’ girls
21. Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise
22. At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops
23. 6 o’clock already? I was just in the middle of a dream
24. On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life
25. Early in the mornin’. risin’ to the street. Light me up that cigarette and I’ll strap shoes on my feet
