Let's all do the lyrics meme, the lyrics meme, the lyrics meme. Let's take turn and lyrics together, the lyrics meme!

Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.

Jethrien suggested I use the entire collection. Can you guess any of these?

"I Can't Get No Satisfaction"

Can you not hear me anymore?
Hava Nagila! Hava Nagila! Hava Nagila!
It's a bad day,
A little ditty about Jack and Diane.

Come out Virginia, don't let me wait,
I saw an open book, and I looked inside it,
Everybody's telling all, baring their souls,
No no, no no, boy.

Fashion always changes from place to place
One night, yeah, one town,
Clouds so swift, the rain fallin' in
If you have a color to shine.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
Somewhere, in burst of glory
Who do you think you are?
They pulled in just behind the bridge.

Oh Johnny and Jane, they were the perfect married couple
Secure yourself to heaven, hold on tight the night has come
Put on the skillet, put on the lid
Here we all go now to that east side.

What is "I Can't Get No Satisfaction"?

Also
2 - Hava Nagila
5 - Only the Good Die Young - Billy Joel
13 - Amazing Grace (duh)
18 - Secure Yourself - Indigo Girls (I'm guessing Wildcats cover)
20 - Southside - Brown Derbies cover of I don't know who (?)

And I know I know 4, but I keep thinking it's "Take the Money and Run" by SMB, even though I know it isn't.

Aren't you glad I didn't do guess on me? You'd have been screeeeewed.

"Secure Yourself" is the original. We both like the Indigo Girls, and own a couple albums.

Southside was actually the Richard Cheese cover, but I believe we've got the Derbies version, too.

Richard Cheese? It's amazing how many covers we all have of things...
