From Napster, instead of the pod.
This is following from feminist, ph.d's welcome introduction of this meme. The rules:
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike through when someone gets them right.
Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.
So here goes, in no particular order - or as the kids might say, "Randomly..."Update (with hints!): Let's wrap this bad boy up! With the possible exception of #22, you've heard of all of these artists. You've probably heard most of these songs. Possibly even made sweet, sweet love while listening to them. Five of the remaining songs contain the title of the song in the first two lines. Where the hell is Pattyjoe when you need him. Oh yes, actually doing important work.
2. I've been really tryin', baby/Tryin' to hold back this feelin' for so long (Let's Get It On, Marvin Gaye)
4. Just because we've gone away/Here's a message from me and Ray (Descendents, Descendents)
7. I'm going to hell, who's coming with me?/Somebody, please help him, I think my dad's gone crazy! (My Dad's Gone Crazy, Eminem)
8. Working all week, nine to five for my money/So when the weekend comes I go get live with the honey (Wild Thing, Tone Loc)
9. Everybodys talking about the girl who went and killed the delivery man/But she looks so kind and gentle, it just doesn't stand to reason (Anesthesia, Bad Religion)
11. Shake your money maker like somebody about to pay ya/I see you on my radar, don't you act like you're a faker (Money Maker, Ludacris)
13. Going down to Rosie's/Gonna talk to Fanny May (Don't Start Me Talkin', New York Dolls)
14. You can do it, put your back into it/I can do it, put your ass into it (You Can Do It, Ice Cube)
17. Rock me, give me that kick now/Rock me, show me that trick now (Rock Me, ABBA)
22. Gather together, be brothers and sisters/We're independent, we're independent (Forward March, Derrick Morgan)
23. I've spent a lifetime looking for you/Single bars and good time lovers, never true (Looking for Love, Waylon Jennings)
24. In a little while from now/If I'm not feeling any less sour (Alone Again, Naturally, Gilbert O'Sullivan)

20. "Drain You" - Nirvana
1. "ain't no right" -- Jane's Addiction
3. "" -- Public Enemy.
I think the second line is, "It said they were suckers"
25. Better be Willy.
18. "Vincent" - NOFX
25. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
oops!
25 is also NOFX.
6. In and Out of Grace - Mudhoney
Thank goodness dr saved me on #3 from revealing that I thought of the Tricky remake before the PE original.
15: Public Enemy, "Bring the Noise"
16: "Fire and Rain"? James Taylor, really? Or a cover?
19: Nirvana, "Pennyroyal Tea"
12 is obviously Let It Snow. Knowing you, I'm going to guess you're a Dean Martin man rather than Bing Crosby.
If I may direct your attention to numbers 10 and 21, you should be able to get these.
I meant number 11 instead of 10, but number 10 is waiting to be claimed as well.
21 is "Don't Do Me Like That" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
I'm pretty sure 10 is Primus, but I can't remember the song.
#10 Primus, yep. Seas of cheese, first song on the album...
5. Come Go with Me - The Dell Vikings
Since you said #22 was such a reach I went ahead and Googled it. Doh! Not only do I know the song, I have it on cd.
Whoever owns this blog, I would like to say that he has a great idea of choosing a topic.
