i'm up early, reading other people's blogs and have stolen this from ben jeapes :)
The great opening lines quiz. You can even make up your own. Get your iPod (or whatever; in my case, Windows Media Player), set it to shuffle and note down the opening lines of an arbitrary number of tracks. In this case, 20. Exclude the ones that are too obvious (i.e. have the name of the track in the first line) and, well duh, the instrumentals. And don't be afraid to admit that some of these tracks, okay, you're a little embarrassed to have them in downloaded, easily erasable form.
And no sneaky Googling answers, right?
but to make it harder/easier all these opening lyrics are from Relient K!!
1. so it was jeremy in 1983/in his ocean pacific t/who got a bloody knee
2. I watched the proverbial sunrise/Coming up over the Pacific
3. Yesterday/Is not quite what it could've been
4. When I made up my mind/And my heart along with that
5. People make mistakes/we find that everything breaks
6. We should get jerseys cause we make a good team
7. I’ve given up on giving up slowly/ I’m blending in so You won’t even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
8. Should I start this song off with a question?
9. It's been a year/Filled with problems/But now you're here/Almost as if to solve them
10. When he was seeing her/You could see he had his doubts
11. what's up dude/i'm getting kinda bored
12. All the girls in the bathroom talking
13. I was just about/to quote Mark Twain/when I realized that/it's all in vain
14. So here I sit looking at the traffic lights/The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
15. So I've made up my mind/I will pretend/To leave this world behind
16. arg wu sentafinticate nar dunderford
17. Fear can drive stick/And it's taking me down this road/A road down which/I swore I'd never go
18. we all know the girls that i am talking about/well they are time bombs and they are ticking
19. well I've never been to Greenland/and I've never been to Denver/and I've never buried treasure in ST Louie or ST Paul
20. can smell the death on the sheets/Covering me/I can't believe this is the end
well that should be fun for you all...i'm off to have a shower!
toodles xxxxxxx

there's far too much relient k in that list! :P
i said i just chose relient k songs to test you guys...alot of my songs are really random musical songs or disney songs or songs from films that nobody knows!
are we meant to post our answers as comments, or would that give it away for everyone else?
yeah you can post your answers as comments i think
let's see how i do then...
1) in love with the 80s (relient k)
2) who i am hates who i've been (relient k)
4) getting into you (relient k)
6) must have done something right (relient k)
7) be my escape (relient k)
8) my way or the highway (relient k)
10) my girl's ex-boyfriend (relient k)
11) hoopes i did it again (relient k)
12) sadie hawkins dance (relient k)

14) i so hate concequences (relient k)
15) faking my own suicide (relient k)
16) gibberish (relient k)
18) mood rings (relient k)
i'm not too sure, but 20 might be death bed (relient k) and 5 might be one of the ones from their anatomy album, but i can't remember which one. maybe maybe it's maybeleine or however they spell it...
how'd i do?
15/20!
very nicely done. i gave you the points for deathbed and maybe its maybelline. but not for number 13 which is actually 'the rest is up to you'
but overall pretty good!
