That iTunes lyrics meme

[yendi]

Yeah, it's one of the few memes I'll do. Lyric snippets from the last twenty-five songs (not counting the one in "current music") that iTunes chose for me. I realized (looking over the "recently played" list) that, for once, I went through a long period without most of the more obscure folks I listen to. Very little folk, punk, or showtunes here. Only one artist is repeated here, and I expect most of these to be pretty easy (really, I may have to disown anyone who gets #5 wrong). No using Google, of course. No prizes for knowing all of these, either, other than the knowledge that you listen to too much music.

#21, by the way, is the first music video I ever saw.
