meme!
So I've been thinking of doing this one for a while.
Step #1: Put your iTunes (or other player) on the "Shuffle" setting.
Step #2: Post the first line from the first 20 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. Please don't use Google or any other way to CHEAT, for this spoils the fun for others who actually KNOW the answer.
Step #4: Check off the songs when someone guesses correctly.
I'm not going to necessarily use the first line, because that sometimes makes it too easy and sometimes it's hard to be certain just what is the first line. Most of these will be from musicals.

3. I almost want to say this is Phantom of the Opera, but I'm not sure.
7. "Angel of Music," Phantom of the Opera
9. THE LLAMA SONG
10. "Castle On A Cloud," Les Mis
11. Oh crap. This is also Les Mis, I'm sure of it, but I don't remember the name of the song.
13. "At the End of the Day," Les Mis
14. ahaha. Something from the Scarlet Pimpernel, which is not a musical I know, but.
19. "Little Fall of Rain," Les Mis
20. "Mama, Look Sharp," um . . . 1776. Right.

3. Nope.
7, 9, 10 are correctly pegged.
11. Yes...
13. Correct.
14. :O! It is a grand and stirring musical! Well, in general. This particular song is not among my top favorites.
19, 20 exactly.
To be honest I'm hoping someone will come along and get 2, 5, 8, and 12 so I can squee at them. All of those are from the same musical, which as far as I know has only ever had one run, and that I only know about because I was in a class where they had us go see various music-performance-type things.

6. The Creation of Man, from Scarlet Pimpernel
11. Turning, from Les Miserables
14. They Seek Him Here, from Scarlet Pimpernel
15. On My Own, from Les Miserables
16. The Egg, from 1776
I should know some of the others, but I can't remember the titles of some of them, especially while I'm listening to other music.
