All right, I’m bored.  Let’s play the Guess the Song Shuffle Meme!

 

Here’s how I do it: You get thirty songs, because it’s fun!  It’s the first line (or two) from the song.  I screen comments so that you don’t have to feel bad if someone else guessed something you knew.  If you get it right I’ll put your name next to the lyric. Songs with an asterisk give you bonus points because I don’t expect many people to get them.  So, let it begin!
