First of all, props to Aimee for coming up with this game. Did you come up with this game?

Oh well, i'm giving her credit for it.

So, i'm putting my itunes on random, and from each of the first 25 songs that come up i pick my favorite line...you guys have to comment and guess which songs they are! (It'll probly be a lot harder for me cuz i listen to all that nonsense that no one knows about...)

1) "Alice the world is full of ugly things that you can't change, pretend it's not that way- that's my idea of faith"

2) "See that asshole with the peace sign on his liscense plate, giving me the finger and running me out of his lane"

3) "When the tears you cry, are all you can believe- just give these loving arms a try baby, and have a little faith in me"

4) "When all you want is peace, and all you get is pills, still they tell ya Psychopharmacology is gonna be your friend cuz god is great and god is good, but he's also made of wood..."

5) "I poured my heart out, it evaporated...see?"

6) "You walk alone like a baby unborn, like a father unknown, like a pocket pennyless"

7) "It's just one of those days with the snow coming down, i spent my last dime it fell through and no one's around. Well I toss and turn in my bed while visions of you have been filling my head, and ohhhhh baby i need you right now"

8) "nothin's fair in love and war, so please let's make some rules"

9) "I went because you said you'd be there, box of candy smoke in your hair, i didn't know, i didn't care- but now i know"

10) " you can't start a fire without a spark, this gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark."

11) "Suffering is so subjective, are we really hurting now- or is this just another game you play"

12) "Drink up babydoll, are you in or are you out- leave your things behind cuz it's all going on without you"

13) You really can't tell what this guy is saying. any guesses as to the artist?

14) "memorize and regurgitate, isn't learning wonderful? Preach me, bleach me, teach me to be a robot"

15) "She needs wide open spaces, room to make big mistakes"

16) "I never had it, i never wanted it, i never had your beauty mark"

17) "Your eyes flutter fast as you cast the first stone, something 'bout hating being all alone"

18) "This ain't the time or place to tell me what i shouldn't say- like i am going to listen to your bullshit anyway"

19) (This is a creepy one) "I know about her family, and the crimes upon her body, so i guess it wasn't me at all that she was trying to kill when she drove that knife into my heart."

20) "From the splinter in the hand, to the thorn in the heart to the shotgun to the head- you got to learn to bleed solice from pain or you'll end up cynical or dead."

21) "I walked back down the stairs with all my bags and drove away, you must be freakin' out."

22) "Excuse me for forgetting, but these things i do- see i can't remember if they're green or they're blue."

23) "I'm so sick of fighting and that effagy you're lighting looks an awful lot like someone who's name i just can't quite place. And though you say it's not supposed to be me or an entity still through the flames and smoke i see i recognize that face."

24) "you can hear my heart when your head's on my chest like that"

25) "Rockstar, is that what you are? There must be thousands of you"


Wow, that took way too long.

Okay, so the deal is, you comment with your guesses and if you get them right I put them in red and in italics. See how long it takes for people to get all of these!!

Don't know who's recordings you're listening to, but #3 is Hiatt's "Have a Little Faith in Me, #10 is Springsteen, can't remember the name, though, # 22 is Elton John's Your Song? My Song? Somebody's Song. Is #13 Waits? No woman I've ever talked to could understand what he's saying. #20 I like, who is that?

Keep warm.

alright guys! That's what i'm talking about. Props to Kim for knowing ALMOST every ben song on there (hint hint). Ray, i can't tell you who #20 is yet because that would be giving away the answer, i'll let you know as soon as somebody gets it. Actually, ask my dad, he knows the line really well. Keep going guys! You got a lot of them! (Now for the ones that nobody knows)

PS the one i couldn't understand was Rufus, but Tom Waits is definitely a good guess cuz you're right, i can't understand any of his stuff either. :)

yea Miranda! Way to know the BNL song- i always knew you had good taste in music.

And of COURSE brad got the movie soundtrack one ;). So now all that are left are the really hard ones from bands nobody knows. Let's see if my dad gets on here and can name the rest of them...

i knew my dad would get most of them- But there are still some left! 2 of them are Julian Coryell songs...so basically...only me and possibly justin know them. Anthony or Gav maybe? But they never look at this.

2 of them are Cowboy Mouth...nobody knows them either.

1 of them is a Firewater song- come on pop you can get it!!
