Stolen from Emma

UPDATE! its over! you win!

UPDATE! okay, my friends know my music way too well. but there are a few you havent gotten that i really think you can. i think eileen should get 13 and ALL OF YOU should know 14. 17 IS into the woods, but it doesnt count without the title. same with 23. come on guys, lets knock the whole list out.

Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from
Step 4: Cross-out the songs when someone guesses correctly (and by cross out, i mean change the color)
NO CHEATING, YOU DWEEBS!
ready? GO!

1. She keeps moet et chandon in her pretty cabinet. 'Let them eat cake,' she says, just like Marie Antoinette.
"Killer Queen" Queen (HATTIE)

2. So your old lady don't love you no more. So you're afraid zere's a volf at your door. So you've got streetrats dat scream in your ear? ...You win some, you lose some, my dear!

"High Times, Hard Times" Newsies (EILEEN, HATTIE)

3. Fallin’ all over myself to lick your heart and taste your health 'cause, with birds I'll share this lonely view...
"Scar Tissue" Red Hot Chili Peppers (EMMA, EILEEN)

4. I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things, we can do the tango just for two.
"(Good Old Fashioned) Lover Boy" Queen (HATTIE)

5. What you feel is what you are, what you are is beautiful.

"Slide" Googoo Dolls (LILLA)

6. So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do. You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue. Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean: yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen.

"Your Song" Ewan McGregor (EMMA)

7. Drug money is used to rig elections, and train brutal corporate sponsored dictators around the world. They're trying to build a prison! They're trying to build a prison! They're trying to build a prison! (for you and me to live in)
"Prison Song" System of a Down (JUSTIN)

8. And I am sorry, I am not a maiden fair. And I am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere.

"Not a Pretty Girl" Ani Difranco (EILEEN)

9. Music! Food of love, emotion, mathematics, isolation! Rhythm, feeling, power, harmony, and heavy competition!
"La Vie Boheme" RENT (EILEEN, HATTIE)


10. You! he thought he heard her say. What brings you here today? Poor young rich boy! Masturbates for a vaudeville tart! What a waste of a firey heart! ::(and also):: Leave your little backyard, my friend! There are causes to DIE for!

"The Night that Goldman Spoke at Union Square" Ragtime (JUSTIN, EILEEN, HATTIE)

11. It well may be that we will never meet again, in this lifetime, so let me say before we part so much of me is made of what I learned from you. You'll be with me, like a handprint on my heart. And now whatever
way our stories end, I know you have re-written mine by being my friend.

"For Good" Wicked (EILEEN even though she got the title wrong, HATTIE, LILLA)

12. :His beauty doth all things excel. By faith I know but ne'er can tell.: The glory which I now can see in Jesus Christ, the apple tree. "
Jesus Christ, the Apple Tree" Novus Girls (RACHEL O'C, LILLA)

13. If it weren't for my brain, I'd go over and make friends. Too bad about my brain 'cause I'd like to make friends.

"This Boquet" Ani Difranco (ALANNA)

14. The last time I saw you, we had just split in two. You was looking at me, I was looking at you. You had a way so familiar I could not recognize, cause you had blood on your face, and I had blood in my eyes, but I could swear by your expression that the pain down in your soul was the same as the one down in mine. That's the pain that cuts a straight line down through the heart. We call it love. We wrapped our arms around each other, tried to shove ourselves back together. We were makin' love, makin' love.

"The Origin of Love" Hedwig & the Angry Inch Soundtrack (ALANNA)

15. Yellow man in Timbucktoo. Colour for both me and you. Kung fu fighting, dancing queen. Tribal spaceman, and all that's in between!

"Spice Up Your Life!" Spice Girls (MOUSE, LILLA)

16. You teach? I teach. Computer age philosophy. But my students would rather watch TV. Huh, America. America!

"Santa Fe" RENT (EILEEN even though she got the title wrong)

17. Do not put your faith In a cape and a hood; they will not protect you the way that they should. And take extra care with strangers; even flowers have their dangers, and though scary is exciting, nice is different than good.
"I Know Things Now" Into the Woods (MORGAN)

18. For the sum of my life I have lived in hope, we might all be Christian brothers. I have worked to pursuade every white-skinned man, that he need not fear our race. I deplore Mr. Walker's actions, and the irreparable harm he has done to my people, and I wish that I might tell him face to face.

"Coalhouse Demands" Ragtime (both EILEEN and JUSTIN had the general idea, but neither of them got it right. HATTIE, however, did.)

19. So if you care to find me, look to the western sky! As someone told me lately, everyone deserves the chance to fly! And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free. To those who'd ground me, take a message back from me: tell them how I am defying gravity! I'm flying high, defying gravity, and soon I'll match them in renown. And nobody, in all of Oz, no wizard that there is or was, is ever gonna bring-- ME DOWN!
"Defying Gravity" Wicked (EMMA, LILLA)

20. Do you know you're the one I adore? Next year at Hogwarts you'll see I've transformed. I will hold my head up high; I'm a Gryffindor! And you won't need to save me anymore.

"Ode to Harry Potter" Switchblade Kittens (EILEEN even though once again she's too lazy to look up the title.)

21. No, I'm not here to harm you, I only want to KILL! You shall have your monster, I shall drink my fill. At last I am embracing my bloody destiny! Dear Mom and Dad this face will be, the last thing that you ever see! Revenge will be a home for me!

"Apology to a Cow" Batboy (EILEEN, HATTIE got the idea.)

22. Stop running, stop running, turn around. Please come back, come back to me now. If you refuse, hasten your stride, just know I'll always be running by your side.

"Road to Nowhere" Sandyfeet (EILEEN who doesn't know the real title of any song in the world)

23. Exploring things you'd never dare 'cause you don't care when suddenly there's a big tall terrible giant at the door. A big tall lady giant sweeping the floor. And she gives you food and she gives you rest, and she draws you close to her giant breast, and you know things now that you never knew before. Not 'till the sky.
"Giants in the Sky" Into the Woods (ALANNA)

24. Poor! All my life I've always been poor! I keep asking God what I'm for, and he tells me "Gee, I'm not sure! SWEEP THAT FLOOR, KID!"
"Skid Row (Downtown)" Little Shop of Horrors (EILEEN)

25. And if you've got no other choice, you know you can follow my voice, through the dark turns and noise of this wicked little town.

"Wicked Little Town" Hedwig and the Angry Inch (EILEEN)

Well. That was fun. Break a leg.
