**GIVEAWAY! GIVEAWAY! GIVEAWAY! GIVEAWAY! GIVEAWAY!**
Jori-O had the greatest blog post running yesterday. She had put up the first two lines to random songs off of her ipod, and challenged us to guess the name of the song and the artist. I am usually AWESOME with song lyrics (freaky elephant brain of mine...), but I was actually stumped by several of hers--and late on commenting-- so the easy ones were already guessed.
ANYWAY---I wanted to offer the same challenge to my readers. EXCEPT, beware---my taste in music can be rather random......so don't think you'll be guessing all out of one genre' here!
I'm going to put my ipod (ok--SanDisk mp3 player) on random here and pull up 15 songs. Then, I'll give you the first two lines. You give me the name of the song and the artist, and for any or all of you who get them right, one of you will win a $15 i Tunes gift card.
YAAAAAY! I love giveaways! I love music! Let's rock!.........
1. I'm bringing sexy back/ them other boys don't know how to act (easy start!)
2. Words like violence, break the silence/ they come crashing in, into my little world
3. The speed of light slows down as a feather hits the ground/And nothing else gets through, it's always faster than it sounds
4. In the club with my homies, tryin' to get a little VI (?)/ keep it down on the low key, 'cause you know how it feels/ I said shorty she was checkin' up on me.... (gave you an extra line there because I wasn't so sure about the first one)
5.Ladies leave your man at home/ the club is full of ballers and their pockets full of chrome/and all you fellas leave your girl with her friends 'cause it's 11:30 and the club is.....
6. I gotta new life, you would hardly recognize me I'm so glad. How could a person like me care for you?/ Why do I bother when you're not the one for me? (ooooooooh ooooooh ooooooh).
7. Broke into the old apartment, this is where we use to live./ Broken glass, broke and hungry, broken hearts and broken bones
8. We'll be together again. I've been waiting for a long time. / We're gonna be, we're gonna be together again. I've been connected to the right line.
9. I'm the kind of girl who hangs with the guys/ like a fly on the wall with my secret eyes.
10.Don't move, don't talk out of time, don't think, don't worry, everything's just fine.......just fine/Don't grab, don't clutch, don't hope for too much, don't breathe, don't achieve, or grieve without leave
11.Yo! Listen up here's the story/ about a little guy that lives in a blue world
12.I waited till I saw the sun, I don't know why I didn't come/ I left you by the house of fun, I don't know why I didn't come
13. La la la, la la la la la. La la la, la la la la la./ I just can't get you outta my head, boy your lovin' is all I think about.
14. When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you/ When I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you.
15. Are these times contagious? I've never been this bored before. /Is this the prize I've waited for?
------------------------------------
*****And just keeping it honest here, ladies: I skipped over a lot of my songs......because they were jazz or classical, and I didn't know how many of you could guess "bump, bee bump, ba du bu bump". Also, I totally skipped over Zombie by The Cranberries, because I just had not a clue what she was saying!!!

I totally applaud those who can name more than about three songs on that list. You are tough! Of course, I have totally random things on my iPod and I am sure it would be hard for some people to guess those too. Whoever wins deserves that prize.

15. Run - Collective Soul
It's official...I am old! The only three that I got were the Depeche Mode "Silence", Barenaked Ladies "Old Apartment" and Gwen Stefani "Hey Baby".
I rule the 70's and 80's though......ha-ha-ha!
Hey Players!--
Anyone who can get ALL or MOST of the list (Cheryl!) will be entered into the drawing, so don't not play because a few people already got the list! (even the ones with the whole list were wrong on one or two! :) ).
So whats to stop someone from just copying someone elses amswers? I have no clue what most of the songs are! I have no memory at all and what memory I did have my kids have sucked out of me!
Great contest idea! Problem is I love music but I can never remember words or the artist, so on this one I will just enjoy the music currently playing and everyone else's answers!
Elizabeth,
I guess I didn't think this through so well----but I guess there's nothing stopping copying answers.....except winning with a guilty conscious :).
It's only a $15 giftcard, not a million bucks---so I'm not going to be too picky!
Okay, I should just close these comments right now and not even waste your time, but it just might make you laugh how little I know so...(I have NOT peeked at other commentors) let's give this a whirl. (Oh, and you'll probably only get artist or title, but I highly doubt both. If I know both, I'll surprise myself.)
1. Justin Timberlake
2. Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence (hey got one!)
3. ?
4. ?
5. ?
6. ?
7. ?
8. Erasure
9. ?
10. ?
11. ?
12. ?
13. ?
14. Proclaimers
15. ?
Did I win? LOL!!!!! Why am I so bad at this?
Oh I love this game! I love it! Here is what I came up with
1. Justin Timberlake - SexyBack. (I just love this song.)
2. ???? Don't know
3. Coldplay - Speed of Sound (pretty sure about this)
4. 50 Cent - In Da Club (guessing a little bit here; might be wrong)
5. Destiny's Child -- Jumping (?) Unsure of the exact title. I know the rest goes "the club is jumping, jumping)
6. ??? Pink maybe -- on her recent album
7. One Week - Barenaked Ladies (got to be this ... I could just hear it in my head)
8. ???? Sting maybe .. nah
9. ????
10. ????
11. Blue (Da Be Dee) by Eiffel 65 (totally have this song ... love the weirdness of it)
12. Norah Jones -- Don't Know Why (her voice is so lovely. Have you seen the Sesame Street where she sings about the Letter Y and it goes "don't know Y didn't come. So funny)
13. Kylie Minogue -- Can't Get You Out of My Head (and now that song is stuck in my head for the rest of the day ...lalala..lalalalala)
14. 500 Miles by those red-headed twin brothers. Oh...what was their name??????
15. ????
I hope I qualified! I LOVE iTUNES and my iPOD!
Oh, I can't do this without cheating. And my conscience would get the better of me. I knew I was bad at this, but I didn't know I was that bad!
I could completely google the answers but that would that would be cheating. I almost knew the answer to #1 but wouldn't want my children to know :) Zach however would have known ever single song. My Ipod currently has the soundtrack to Enchanted and the Disney Princess Songs.
What a fun giveaway! Only a few sound familiar so I won't even attempt to guess. I'll catch the next one. ;)
Elena is funny...
I recognize #1 of course, and the only other song I recognize the words to, but have no clue what the song is #12.
My competitiveness totally wants to cheat and look up everything online!
Oh, left you a HUGE comment on my site. Come check it out when you're bored....it's llloooonnnngg.
very long...
Ohhhh, I'm glad that someone already got it...b/c I didn't want to have to think. Thinking is just not what I want to do right now, is that ok? My two oldest are crazy right now, young babe is asleep right now. Hope you are doing wonderfully today. Later friend.

FUN! I have a SanDisk mp3 player and LOVE it. You and me would be great friends - we have the exact same taste in music!! :o)
You are random. I like it. Because you never really know what mood will strike. Even still I could only list maybe half.
Now I would never have guessed No.7 (if it is the Barenaked Ladies), as we (as in Australians) do not listen to them. No, not at all. The only reason I know they exsist is we befriended a Canadian couple a number of years ago when they were working here.
I could have named maybe a third. Justin definitely, and the 80s/early 90s ones.
Fun!
Those are hard Curl Girl!!! But I think I got a few of them.
#6 might be Prozak sucks to be you.
#10 is U2 Numb
#12 is Norah Jones Don't Know Why
and #14 is 1000 miles by those twins.
Best I could do, but now I am gonna try to listen to them all.
Oh, now I know I'm a music loser. I only recognize a few...
Of course, I could cheat off of the others...
Linda
Okay, I do not have an Ipod or MP3 player, but I want to play. I doubt I will get them all right, though. If I do take me out of the running. LOL

2. I don't know the title, but it is Depeche Mode
3. Bleeding Love by whoever sings that

7. I have no idea
8. It's an Erasure song, but the title escapes me!!
9. I know it is No Doubt, but again can't think of the title. something about groupies
10. ?????????
11. Blue man by i really don;t know who
12. Don't know why -- Norah Jones
13. Can't get you outta my head -- a girl or girl band
