Music Meme. Why not?
Meme stolen from [info]ahdok

Step 1: Put your iPod/media player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating.

I had to cheat a bit to remove all the purely instrumental tracks, but here we go...



1. Reveal to me the mystery, can you tell me what it means?
2. I don't wanna be crippled and cracked
3. Within myself there are a million things spilling over

11. [TITLE] where have you been since they crowned you in glory
12. We're not Iron Maiden and we're not from England
13. Baptised with a perfect name
14. You can look but you can't touch
15. All the ducks are swimming in the water (*sigh*)
16. I want to take his eyes out just for looking at you
17. [TITLE] to days gone by
18. Denying the lying, a million children fighting
19. I smell women, smell 'em in the air
20. This is dangerous
21. We all face the same way
22. The time has come for the worlds to unite as one
23. Reaching upward I'm earthbound
24. Another misspelled rhyme written in the book of time
25. Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good
26. We're no strangers to love
27. When you were young and your heart was an open book
28. Blessed with an eye to see things as they are
29. Come into my life, regress into a dream
30. Nuapurista kuulu se polokan tahti (sorry...)

12 is Black Sheep by Sonata Arctica on one of their live albums (the original lyric is "Love and the maiden, the flower of winter" or something like that).

24 is Unopened by Sonata Arctica.

*snickers at number 26*

Sorry. I couldn't resist.

I don't actually have a copy of the song, but I was surprised nobody had already done it :P

Is that Rise by Origa?

D'oh, I should probably have spotted it.

25: 20th Century Boy, T-Rex
26: Never Gonna Give You Up, Rick Astley

There's a few more I know on here, but can remember neither the titles or the artists.

(And please don't tell anyone I knew the answer to 26 because I shall have to go and hide in the Embarrassed Corner for the rest of my life lol)

Wow, I finally got one of these: 13 is Amaranth by Nightwish :)

18 might be 'Planet Hell', and I am suspecting 30 is 'Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan'. The name of which I did have to look up on my own ITunes to copy.

10. I'm a soldier, znachit ya I otvetchik i sud'ya (yes, really)

Stand Alone Complex second gig intro music, probably by Origa, probably called Rise.

12. We're not Iron Maiden and we're not from England

This is probably Sonata Arctica's fault, but I don't know which song.

14. You can look but you can't touch

Paranoid, by Garbage

26. We're no strangers to love

Never Gonna Give You Up, Rick Astley?

27. When you were young and your heart was an open book

Live And Let Die, I'm not sure who did it originally but my version's definitely by Guns 'n' Roses, so I'll guess that.

Live and Let Die was Paul McCartney and Wings originally.

I think all the other ones I know have been got, but I'll have a think about them.
