I give in

[jaina]

I'd like you all to know that I set up iTunes on my new laptop *just* so I could do this meme.

Stolen from everyone on my flist:

Rules
1. Put your playlist on shuffle.
2. Post the first lines to the first 25 songs to come up (along with these instructions).
3. Have people guess the songs and artists in comments to the post.
4. Post the answers to the ones people guessed correctly. A couple of days later, post the first two lines of the ones no one got and get people to guess again.
5. Repeat, adding the next line to the unguessed songs each time, until they're all guessed/you've posted the whole song/you've gotten bored/no-one's going to get the damn thing if you don't tell them.

I'm copying someone, I don't remember who, and striking out the lines as people get them. As most have done, I skipped all the spoken stuff, instrumental stuff, stuff that has the title in the first line, etc. Sadly, this meant that I couldn't put up "Rubber Duckie" when it came on. :( Or Chris Rock, or Celebrity Jeopardy.
