Oh no! I've been meminfected!

mdyesowitch got me with the 20 song lyric meme.

On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favourite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.

There's an extra bonus (not a song lyric); recognize the source of the cut tag text?



I've used a fuzzy definition of "line" in this list, closer to "verse" in some cases. Deal.

1. (easy) In winter 1963, it felt like the world would freeze, with John F. Kennedy, and the Beatles.
2. Maybe it’s a sign of weakness/When I don’t know what to say
3. (soooo easy) So when you're happy (hurray!) or sad (aww!)
4. When adventures like cars we would ride/and the years lie ahead still untried
5. Our dreams are so related though they're often underestimated
6. Exterminate!
7. Gonna go to the place that's the best
8. With a mind full of chemicals, like some cheese-eating high school boy
9. See the man with the lonely eyes/take his hand, you'll be surprised
10. (easy) Time makes you bolder, children get older, I'm getting older too
11. The world could show nothing to me
12. Listen to the wind blow/down comes the night
13. What's the use in trying/All you get is pain
14. (soooo easy) But the man there said the music wouldn't play
15. There's a restaurant down the street/where hungry people like to eat
16. The poor boy changes clothes and puts on aftershave
17. Our memories, well they can be inviting
18. (this song just has too few lyrics to be challenging) You came into my life, and my world never looked so bright
19. Tell me your troubles and doubts
20. (easy) Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
