I could not resist (seen all about on various blogs):
The rules, again, should you have missed them the first time around:
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 I'm bolding because I can't be bothered to the html for striking through:)
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.

Can I just guess the artists? I'm too lazy to remember song titles.
Well, #8 is Brick. Ben Folds.
#1 is Istanbul not Constantinople by TMBG.
#12 is Colin Hay and I want to say that the song is actually called "Beautiful World" but I'm not 100% sure.
I will accept artist only guesses as I never know the names of songs either...
Profgrrrrl is right on all three!
#4 is Livin' la vida loca by Ricky Martin
#15 is Holiday by Madonna
13. 32 flavors - ani
FTR, the strikethrough tag is just the letter s.
Don't recognize any that haven't already been named, but then my mind has always gone for the music before the lyrics.
Only two Dar's? And while I can sing both songs all the way through, I am bad at remembering titles.
Oh, and now that I have read the other comments and see that you take just artists, 18 is the Indigo Girls and 17 is Tori Amos, and 24 is probably Moby. (And the Dars are 7 and 10). And the title of the Indigo Girls song is just "Secure yourself to heaven," right? So I even knew the title. :)
The only ones I know are already guessed!
Gosh, I should have checked back earlier. All the ones I knew too are guessed (Dar, Ani, Indigo Girls).
No Nields? Why does your MP3 player hate them so?
Now you guys are rocking! My iTunes does hate the Nields, but looooves some other people. 2, 3, 16 and 20 are all by artists already named...
And the Indigo Girls song is really Secure Yourself, but close enough. :)
Is 16 They Might be Giants too?
and would 20 be Ani too (as in Both Hands)?
2. Que sera sera-Doris Day
23. Vuelve-Shakira
Laura got her two right. Makita got the Shakira, but the other is NOT Doris Day. I actually put the first two lines since I thought just the first was too confusing.
