My Meem
ANND CLOSED! answers are in bold.
So since everyone else seems to have done a meem, I thought it’d be fun to do one too. I have obviously cut out the spoken word tracks, and the instrumentals. I also did not include those tracks that have the title in the first line. Otherwise this is totally legit and the order that songs came up on my shuffle. For those that are a little more obscure, I added a few more words, to help out. So, we’ll see how many people read my blog based on how many people respond with answers.
What is a Meem? See below.
Step 1: Put your iPod player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold the songs when someone guesses correctly. (Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!)

#9 When I Look to the Sky --Train
I recognize a few others but CANNOT place them. I HATE THAT! :-)
#3 is the Cell block tango from Chicago...some soundtrack or other (is there only one, or is there one broadway & one film)
well done! I'll leave it up for a while longer to give more people a chance to guess. I'm actually surprised at the super easy ones that people havent guessed yet. Keep in mind that I have music from movie soundtracks and from broadway musicals. hint for number 28, think about disney movies...
Ok, with the hint #28 is kiss the girl
I recognized the Little Mermaid for #28, but the only other one I can think of is....
