I found this fun meme on my online friend Mimi’s Blog (Bigger than a Breadbox), and I just couldn’t resist trying it out on my blog too. It reminded me of when my friend Christine and I used to make tapes with just snippets of songs and try to “Name that Tune.”
Here are the rules:
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line (unless the first line reveals the song title) from the first 25 songs that play. (Okay, I’m a cheater and often gave the first couple of lines.)
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and song title correctly.

2. My sister got lucky, married a yuppie. Took him for all he was worth. – Mimi (Yer So Bad — Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)
3. (Title of song). Since you’ve gone you know that noone’s really missed you. (Title of song). And now your friends watch over everything that we do.
4. I come old friend from Hell tonight, across the rotting sea. Nor the nails of the cross nor the blood of Christ can bring you help this eve.
5. Ladies and Gentleman, It’s my pleasure to introduce to you…he’s a friend of mine…and he goes by the name…Justin.

11. Once there was a way to get back homeward. Once there was a way to get back home. – Mimi (Golden Slumbers by The Beatles, though the particular version for #11 was Ben Folds)
12. Take off your top coat. Put on your rain coat.

14. We want to multiply, are you gonna do it? I know you’re qualified, are you gonna do it? – Mimi (Some Like It Hot by The Power Station)
15. Even Old New York was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it, I can’t say. (Note: I had to go decently far into the song to not have the title mentioned.) - – Mimi (Istanbul (not Constantinople) by They Might Be Giants)
16. I can’t explain glacial motion or why Los Angeles don’t drop into the ocean.
