I've decided to run a contest.

Inspired by both Mango and Rev. Jim, I've decided to have a contest. The prize? See that cool little Mondrian image next to my URL up there? It's called a Favicon, and I'll make a custom one for you, and even provide the code to have it work on your webpage/blog.

So I took a song meme from Rev. Jim as the basis for the contest:
  1. Put your media player on random.
  2. Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play.
  3. Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
  4. Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Except I modified it a little. I've discarded any song w/o lyrics (for obvious reasons).

So here's the list:
01)
Sometimes as I’m waiting for the phone to stop ringing
And I think of you
Then just for a moment it gets all quiet
And I can’t remember what I’m suppose to do

02)
Alles Was Drin Ist
Due, Quatro, Due
Raus! Raus!

03)
The ghetto done got me upside down

04)
Counting my blessings like stars in the sky
The sleep walking moon watching on
And she's seen how lovers before us have tried
My darling lets not get it wrong

05)
Unfoturnate Baby
So sad you can't save me
And rescues are so much fun
But ambulance drivers don't wear guns

06)
I feel a love light rush over me
I feel the love turn to me
And then your love just
Creeps over me

07)
The only solution is to resurface from the mud

08)
The path of least resistance leads to the
Garbage heap of despair
I think I'd better get back in bed

09)
Will you make it in the end,
Through all the twists and bends?
Will you fulfill your dreams?
Not as easy as it seems.

10)
Drink up baby doll
Are you in or are you out?

11)
Keep your head up to the sky, so your troubles pass you by

12)
The hidden assumption is plain when the battery dies

13)
Wearing nothing is divine
Naked is a state of mind

14)
Wrapped in nostalgia to queue for a show
Back to Trafalgar, one kiss, then I'll go

15)
After years in deep freeze my body is yearning for a new lease of life and a little spice

16)
She stares at the food on her plate, at the toast and the butter

17)
The longer you're gone the more I miss you, but I'm impressed how you avoid the issue

18)
Maybe I'm a cat
Whaddaya think of that?
A lovely cat that all the world adores
And here's my kitty paws
With little kitty claw
Which I like to sharpen on your couch!

19)
How shall I fill the final places
How shall I complete the wall

20)
Respect my body 'cos that's where you came from

21)
You say, get back to yesterday
I ain't ever going back
Back to the place that I can't stand

22)
You look so messy when you dress up in dreams

23)
They said we made a perfect pair, but it's over now

24)
Haven't you wondered why I'm always alone when you're in my dreams

25)
Unequal, it's not even legal, I'm chased by the rap police like Bugsy Seagel.

Send your answers to me in an email.
The contest will run until Valentine's Day, or until someone gets all the answers.

Comments:
The favicon contest is a great idea - too bad I don't recognize any of the songs off hand - and don't want to cheat by googling. Your blog looks great - thanks for stopping by mine!
 
Go ahead and cheat, I did to get the lyrics in the first place (after 12 years working with production copiers, my hearing isn't what it used to be). I won't tell if you won't tell.
