Oh, I'm going to do a music meme, Because I Can, and because I'm sure everyone's got nothing better to do than spot songs in my eclectic music collection. Which is really slightly more eclectic than it appears here.

1. Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.
2. Record the first few lines of the first thirty songs that come up that do not give away the name of the song. Skip instrumentals, but don't skip the embarrassing ones.
3. Make hapless flist guess the song names and artists. Google is cheating.


Some of these are incredibly obvious, but it was a random selection, WTF really...

1. Jumping up and down the floor; my head is an animal. ("Dirty Paws" by Of Monsters and Men, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] yunitsa)
2. Here come old flat top; he come groovin' up slowly. ("Come Together" by the Beatles, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] swooop)
3. Don't worry about a thing; 'cause every little thing gonna be all right. ("Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley, half-guessed by [livejournal.com profile] lydaclunas)
4. I was a stranger in the city; out of town were the people I knew. ("A Foggy Day (in London Town)" sung here by Ella Fitzgerald)
5. When ever skies look gray to me, and trouble begins to brew… ("I Concentrate On You" ditto)
6. It's been a while now since you held me, and told me what was on your mind… ("I'll Always Be Waiting For You," Sierra Hull)
7. Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream… ("Tomorrow Never Knows," the Beatles, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] swooop)
8. Oh naive little me, asking what things you have seen… ("Rambling Man," Laura Marling)
9. Did you say I've got a lot to learn; well, don't think I'm trying not to learn… ("Teach Me Tonight" as sung by Dinah Washington, OMG baby yes)
10. I won't go traveling tonight; I won't go back to the wolves, now. ("White Waves," Shearwater, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] penwiper26)
11. Before this dance is through I think I'll love you too… ("I'm Happy Just to Dance with You," Beatles)
12. Things have come to a pretty pass; our romance is growing flat. ("Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," guessed by [livejournal.com profile] swooop, here sung by Ella Fitzgerald)
13. I've sung this song but I'll sing it again, all the people I've met, the places I've been… ("So Long, It's Been Good to Know You," The Weavers)
14. Way down here, you need a reason to move, feel a fool running your stateside games… ("Mexico," James Taylor)
15. We were forty miles from Albany, forget it I never shall… ("Erie Canal," The Weavers)
16. I hear a wind, whistling air, whispering in my ear… ("Roam," B-52s)
17. When it rains five days, and the skies turn black as night… ("Back Water Blues," guessed by [livejournal.com profile] swooop, here sung by Dinah Washington)

19. So one, two, three, take my hand and come with me... ("Are You Gonna Be My Girl," Jet, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] lydaclunas)
20. Oh yeah, all right, are you gonna be in my dreams tonight… ("The End," Beatles, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] penwiper26)
21. You say you love me and you're thinking of me but you know you could be wrong. ("Most Likely You Go Your Way," Bob Dylan)
22. Once there was a way to get back homeward… ("Golden Slumbers," Beatles)
23. You got me running, going out of my mind, you got me thinking that I'm wasting my time. ("Don't Bring Me Down," ELO)
24. It was a cold night, and the snow lay round, I pulled my coat tight… ("The Crane Wife 1&2," Decemberists, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] yunitsa)
