This may turn out slightly different than usual because I'm using LAUNCHcast and not MP3s... I'll use the first 25 songs I know (and that have lyrics) and try to pick parts that aren't *too* obvious on the ones I think most people will know but not too obscure on ones that might be hard. And you don't necessarily have to guess the artist I heard doing a cover; you can give the original artist.
Step 1: Put your media player on random.
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly and give them credit.
1. Now in her child-like eyes / You see the beauty there, you know it was always there, / And you need no longer wear a disguise. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

2. I think I love you, / But I wanna know for sure. / So come on, hold me tight. / I love you. Mum's the Word
3. Baby, don't you know I love you so? / Can't you feel it when we touch? / I will never, never let you go; / I love you oh so much.
4. I'm gonna wait till the stars come out, / See them twinkle in your eyes. Mum's the Word
5. The way you stole my heart, / You know you could have been a crook; / And baby, you're so smart, / You know you could have been a schoolbook. Mum's the Word
6. Just one look at you, my heart grew tipsy in me; / You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me!
7. Come, come, come, come, / Come into my heart, / Come tell me, darlin', / We will never part.
8. Yesterday, and days before, / Sun is cold and rain is hot, / I know; been that way for all my time. Mum's the Word
9. We were made to love and be loved, / But the price this world demands / Will cost you far too much.
10. Ol' Strauss discovered waltzin', / The handy man found the blues, / Then Haley came along with a rockin' song; / Crazy, man, crazy, crazy news!
11. ... When she smiles up soft and gentle / With a trace of misty mornin' / And the promise of tomorrow in her eyes.... Mum's the Word
12. We'll be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band.... desyhand
13. Said He'd be a teacher, / He'd teach His children right; / Said He'd be a warrior, / He'd help His children fight.
14. I'm through with romance, / I'm through with love. / I'm through with countin' / The stars above. Mum's the Word
15. In and out of my life / You come and you go, / You leave just your picture behind, / And I've kissed it a thousand times. Mum's the Word
16. Baby, if I've made you mad, / Something I might have said, / Please forget my past; / The future looks bright ahead.
17. I am reaching for the highest goal / That I might receive the prize. / Pressing onward, pushing every hind'rance aside, / Out of my way.... eruditelimpet
18. Throw out a rope, and I'll pull you in, / Give you hope, and be your only boyfriend. Mum's the Word
19. In your voice I hear a choir of carousels, / But am I ever gonna hear my wedding bells? Mum's the Word
20. So why on earth should I moan, / 'Cause when I get you alone, / You know I feel all right. missjean
21. Now everybody clap your hands, / Give yourself a chance; / You got soul, and everybody knows....
22. I wrote my Congressman, and he said (quote): / "I'd like to help you, son, but you're too young to vote." Mum's the Word
23. Baby, baby, / You bring much joy within; / Don't let this feeling end, / Let it go on and on and on!
24. My little baby sister can do it with me; / It's easier than learning your ABCs! Mum's the Word
25. Looks like nothing's gonna change; / Everything still remains the same. / I can't do what ten people tell me to do, / So I guess I'll remain the same. Mum's the Word
And a bonus:
26. I can tell my sister by the flowers in her eyes....
Extra points for this one (technically out of order, but I want to see if anyone can get it):
27. *brrrring!* Mum's the Word
Wow... that took longer than I meant it to.
Some fun instrumentals worked their way in while I was doing this--Count Basie's "Orange Sherbet" and one version of "The Entertainer" from The Sting, among others. :) (The latter almost makes me want to either learn piano or get a new mouthpiece for my clarinet and start playing again.)
EDIT: I'm just listing credits right now; I'll give the full answer list in another post in a day or two.
