ldwheeler did it, and thought, "hey, that looks fun!" I left in the ones with the title in the opening lines because they're (for the most part) regional/relatively unknown artists. I figured I'd let you try and guess 'em.
Access your iPod, Media Player or music storage device of choice, set it to random, and post the opening lyrics to the first 20 songs that come around, then let the friends-list guess the songs and artists. Offer fabulous prizes if do-able; if not, offer virtual pats on the head.
I'll adopt Dave's rules...no peeking until you've guessed! You can e-mail me with guesses if you like. I'll give a cookie to anyone who gets #16 right, because I didn't even know what that lyric was until I looked it up!
ldwheeler was the first to guess and has guessed four correctly! Anyone else?? :)
1. It was sixteen years ago, outside an aging movie show
I was found not knowing where I was that night
Guessed correctly bymbumby
7. I am the fountain of affection
I'm the instrument of joy
guessed correctly bytollers
8. If you said goodbye to me tonight
there would still be music left to write
guessed correctly byldwheeler
9. Live a life less ordinary
live a life extraordinary with me
10. You're bein' so tough to me
Like a leather jacket
11. This year has been a little crazy for the Andersons.
You may recall we had some trouble last year.

(oh, this one's a gimme...)
12. Let's talk about Cher
She went to the Oscars in her underwear
guessed correctly byldwheeler
13. Once in your life you find a love,
The kind they write about in stories that begin:
14. Every time you point your finger
three more point right back at you
15. Daddy sits on the front porch swinging
Looking out on a vacant field
guessed correctly byandpuff
16. Take away your paper & pen
Stacks of money and your foolish grin and go
17. Well they shouldn't have played that good
I got carried away and let the music go to my head
18. Empty bottles and broken cans
streams of whiskey all across the land
19. Find yourself a girl and settle down
Live a simple life in a quiet town
20. Beautiful chemistry, this thing between you and me
You called it luck, I offered up physics and poetry
