Guess the songs.
Jul 3 2009, 18h22
The process/rules
1; Put your MP3 player or whatever on shuffle.
2; Post the first line from the first 50 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (I'm skipping foreign languages and ones I can't understand.)
3; Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from. (They must post Artist & Song, spelling doesn't matter, and taking a guess is always welcomed.)
4; Strikethrough the lyrics when someone guesses correctly and put the song and artist under the corresponding lyrics.
5; Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

OK.
49 is Pulp, Common People,
26 is Beatles, Blackbird
48 is Nina Simone (I'm not 100% sure of the song title - is it called "you know how i feel"?).
I think the artist of 39 is Vanessa Paradis and someone else so this is a guess ... Vanessa Paradis and Counting Crows (I think it's on their album) and I'm about 50% sure the title is "Parking Lot".
I'm now off to search iTunes for those songs to see if I'm right. Great taste in music, btw! -

27. "Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train"
is from the song "The Night They Drove Old Dxie Down" by The Band, but you may even mean one of the cover-versions - my favourite is by Joan Baez. -
