Memmmmmmeeeee~UPDATED

UPDATE: All the songs that have not already been correctly identified now have cheats. Click play to hear that part of the song. Sorry but 12, 14 and 16 I had to record while playing since itunes wouldn't let me load them into garage band (something about right protected) so they sound horrible and slightly distorted and 1 got cut off for some reason but you get the gist. Hope this helps (Laura). 

A few days ago Jessica emailed me a link to this meme which she thought I would enjoy. I used to think I was good at this game but am finding I am only good at lyrics if I can hear some music to go along. Anyhoo...from that link I clicked on Mimi's comment to see if I knew any of hers and, alas, I have decided to play too...

1~Put your music player on shuffle

2~Post the first line (unless it reveals the title) from the first 25 songs that play {I am going to put ** in place of the title of the song if need be)

3~Strike thru the songs when someone guesses BOTH title and artist

As usual I can't really follow directions so here is roughly the first stanza to give you a fighting chance. If I used the song in the last similar meme and it came up on shuffle I skipped it to have all new songs, and there are no repeat artists. 

WOWZAH: Mimi has knocked it out of the park already. I will have the answers in a lighter gray and not strike thru so you can still read them if you want to.

1. Well I guess you left me with some feathers in my hand

Did it make it any easier to leave me where I stand?

I guess there might not be too many who would stand beside you now

Where'd you come from? Where am I going?

Why'd you leave me till I'm only good for...

Waiting for you

aubrey got that it is counting crows but not the name of the song

2. I want ** to share

Share the rest of my life

Share my innermost thoughts

Know my intimate details

somebody, depeche mode (mimi)

3. Show me, show me, show me

How you do that trick

The one that makes me scream she said

just like heaven, the cure (mimi)

4. Reluctantly crouched at the starting line, 

Engines pumping and thumping in time. 

The green light flashes, the flags go up. 

the distance, cake (jessica)

5. Now here you go again

You say you want your freedom

Well who am I to keep you down?

dreams, fleetwood mac (paula)

6. Like anyone would be 

I am flattered by your fascination with me

Like any hot blooded woman

I have simply wanted an object to crave

But you, you're not allowed

You're **

An unfortunate slight

uninvited, alanis morissette (jessica)

7. She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes

She can ruin your faith with her casual lies

And she only reveals what she wants you see

she's always a woman, billy joel (jessica & jedi sue)

8.  You think that we connect

That the chemistry's correct

Your words walk right through my ears

Presuming I like what I hear

spiderwebs, no doubt (aubrey)

9. I keep hearin you're concerned about my happiness

But all that thought you're givin me is conscience I guess

If I was walkin in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none

While you and your friends are worried about me, I'm havin lots of fun

flowers on the wall, statler brothers (paula)

10. Sorry is all that you can't say

Years gone by and still

Words don't come easily

Like sorry,  like sorry

baby can i hold you, tracy chapman (aubrey)

11. Caroline laughs and it's raining all day

She loves to be one of the girls

She lives in the place in the side of our lives

Where nothing is ever put straight

pretty in pink, psychedelic furs (mimi)

12. **, who'd a thunk sittin drunk on a wagon to Mexico

Ah well, what a chump, well my head got a bump

when I hit it on the radio

13. I'm coming out of my cage 

And I've been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be down

Because I want it all

mr brightside, the killers (jedi sue)

14. I've got another confession to make

I'm your fool

Everyone's got their chains to break

Holdin you

15. How can I explain

When there are few words I can choose

How can I explain 

When words get broken

chains of love, erasure (mimi)

16. Don't do it darlin

Don't you dare look in there

You said you didn't want to see me

But you've been lookin for me everywhere

here i am, patty lovelace (laura)

17. You spend all your time waiting for that second chance

A break that will make it ok

There's always a reason 

To feel not good enough

And it's hard at the end of the day

angel, sarah mclachlan (jessica)

18. Well, I know it's kinda late

I hope I didn't wake you

What I gotta say can't wait

I know you'd understand

Every time I tried to tell you, the words  just came out wrong

i'll have to say i love you in a song, jim croce (paula finally gave in and realized i was right)

19. Ever second counts

When I am with you

I think you are a pig

You should be in the zoo

I guess I should have known

I'd end up on my own

20. Shakedown **, cool kids never have the time

On a live wire right up off the street

You and I should meet

21. I'm your only friend

I'm not your only friend

But I'm a little glowing friend

But really I'm not actually your friend

But I am

birdhouse in your soul, they might be giants (mimi)

22. Day after day, I will walk and I will play

But the day, after today, I will stop, and I will start. 

add it up, violent femmes (mimi)

23. Alone, listless 

Breakfast table in an otherwise empty room

Young girl, violins

Center of her own attention

daughter, pearl jam (mimi)

24. It's not time to make a change

Just relax, take it easy. 

You're still young, that's your fault, 

There's so much you have to know. 

25. **, baby, don't get crazy

Detours, fences, I get defensive.

I know you've heard it all before

So I don't say it anymore

I just stand by and let you 

Fight your secret war.
