Here's a game I found off the Deviant Art site I'm a part of... Note that there are only 22 of these instead of 25. Some on the songs I cut out due to language.
Put alllllll your songs in your playlist, shuffle them randomly, take the first 25 and post a line of lyric from each, and people try to guess the song and artist (Google= CHEATING). I'll put your little names next to the songs you get right to keep people from guessing the same song over and over.
#1: Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals. Everybody happy as the dead come home Shriekback - Nemesis. Nelly got this
#2: You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone. Just you wait 'til I get you home Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls. Nelly got this
#3: So, where did you see me go. Its not the right way you know Cardigans.. What song, though? Nelly got the band right. Song - Erase and Rewind. Retrograde got this
#4: We are agents of the free. I've had my fun now its time to serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me) REM - Orange Crush. Nelly got this.
#5: Stealing past the victims of the blissfully dead. Looking for the victim shivering in bed The Cure - Spiderman/Lullaby. Nelly got this
#6: Every morning on the front page. Big type headlines seen before Camouflage - A Place In China (Heavens Not). Retrograde got this
#7: Who could ever ask for more. Love without complications galore Dresden Dolls. What song, though? Nelly got band right
#8: There can only be one queen, one king Everyone voting, everyone competing
#9: I can't control myself sometimes. I think I'm sick, but I might be wrong Song - Out of Line. Nelly got song right. What band is this?
#10: 4, 3, 2, 1 Earth below us, drifting, falling Peter Schilling - Major Tom (Coming Home) Nelly got this
#11: And her family took her aside and and put their arms around her. They said, "Mary, won't you please come back to us now?"
#12: Don't phone me up, don't call around. Don't waste your time Orchrestral Manoeuvers In The Dark. Retrograde got this. What song, though?
#13: Jenny played keyboard, Johnny played drums. Called little baby and a big Bonhomme Men Without Hats - Pop Goes The World. Nelly got this
#14: Baby, your ship has come in. Baby, adventures will begin Jem - Wish I. Retrograde got this.
#15: One mistake's all it takes and your life has come undone Garbage - Breaking up the girl. Nelly got this
#16: One day I'll try, to give the world a view
#17: A wolf in sheeps clothing, the ultimate disgrace. Wrapped up as a gift of God exploding in your face
#18: Time every journey to bump into you accidentally. I charm you and tell you of the boys I hate
#19: You turn my water into wine, send a shiver down my spine Cause & Effect - You Are The One. Retrograde got this
#20: Over the mountain, and beyond the sun, five lovely cottages built into one
Okay, those are the lyrics. Good Luck!

If ANYBODY can get these, I'll have found a friend for life! You can see I'm permantly stunted by my fave selections below!!
NELLY'S FAVORITES:
#1 You are the King of the divan!
#2 From nothing to something and something for nothing. From no one to someone from someone to same one same old thing.
#3 See how the sun shines brightly In the city on the streets Where once was pity
#4 Stronger than reason Stronger than lies The only truth I know Is the look in your eyes
#5 Good people get sent to the attic, bad people get sent to the cellar
#6 One you lock the target, two you bait the line
#7 Trapped under ice, comfortably cold, I've gone as low as you can go
#8 in nervous convulsion crouches infant ape trembling
#9 Disillusioned, I was disenchanted, Forgot the love that had been implanted
#10 They said it wouldn't last, Much too much to ask, Your heart is made of glass
#11 This is it we stand alone, no one left to talk to, nothing left to see
#12 I live for drugs, they're great
#13 Fly boy was in the buttermilk hard, livin' fast, livin' large, 6 foot 4 and not an ounce of fat. When women asked, 'is you a fro Cat?' He said 'My dear, I'm more that that. I'm the froest of the fro…'
#14 The love we share seems to go nowhere and I've lost my light
#15 And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind, the front of your dress - all shadowy lined
#16 All of her lovers all talk of her notes and the flowers that they never sent
#17 I was struck by lighting walking down the street, I was hit by something last night in my sleep
#18 My grandma says to your grandma, "I'm gonna set your flag on fire"
#19 Strobe lights pump and flicker, dry lips crack out for more.
#20 I'm a man) I'm a geisha (I'm a man) I'm a little girl

#14 - Soft Cell, Tainted Love
#18 - Iko Iko, although so many people have done it, so I won't guess on an artist!
#20 - Berlin, Sex (I'm A...) - I love Berlin!
Sadly, that's all I could get right away, although a couple others are on the tip of my tongue (fingertips?)!

Yours are tough Nelly but I think I've got a few of them!
Quote:

NELLY'S FAVORITES:
#1 You are the King of the divan! Plastic Bertrand (I think)...not sure of the song name. My friend says this to everyone all the time! He's all into all the Belgian pop stuff (It means, basically, you're a couch potato/lazy etc... I think anyway!)
#2 From nothing to something and something for nothing. From no one to someone from someone to same one same old thing.
#3 See how the sun shines brightly In the city on the streets Where once was pity Electric Light Orchestra, Mr. Blue Sky (love that song!)
#4 Stronger than reason Stronger than lies The only truth I know Is the look in your eyes
#5 Good people get sent to the attic, bad people get sent to the cellar
#6 One you lock the target, two you bait the line
#7 Trapped under ice, comfortably cold, I've gone as low as you can go
#8 in nervous convulsion crouches infant ape trembling
#9 Disillusioned, I was disenchanted, Forgot the love that had been implanted Depeche Mode, A Broken Frame
#10 They said it wouldn't last, Much too much to ask, Your heart is made of glass
#11 This is it we stand alone, no one left to talk to, nothing left to see
#12 I live for drugs, they're great Confessions of a Knife! The song name is escaping me though... but that's a great tune!
#13 Fly boy was in the buttermilk hard, livin' fast, livin' large, 6 foot 4 and not an ounce of fat. When women asked, 'is you a fro Cat?' He said 'My dear, I'm more that that. I'm the froest of the fro…'
#14 The love we share seems to go nowhere and I've lost my light Tainted Love!!! I think Soft Cell did this originally, but I have about a million covers of it
#15 And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind, the front of your dress - all shadowy lined Hehe... Duran Duran... The Chauffeur I think
#16 All of her lovers all talk of her notes and the flowers that they never sent
#17 I was struck by lighting walking down the street, I was hit by something last night in my sleep
#18 My grandma says to your grandma, "I'm gonna set your flag on fire" Haha! The Belle Stars, Iko Iko (oh 80s!)
#19 Strobe lights pump and flicker, dry lips crack out for more. Siouxsie and the Banshees, Peek-a-Boo
#20 I'm a man) I'm a geisha (I'm a man) I'm a little girl Berlin, Sex (I'm A)

Wow, You did REALLY well!
#9 is Satellite by Depeche Mode, you got the album I think
You were close on #12-- My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, "A Daisy Chain 4 Satan" ("I live for drugs, they're great, they're great, I could never afford drugs!")
Maybe I should have a word bank for the other artists... My music is a little dated.
Think Ministry, KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Oingo Boingo, Dead Milkmen, Phychedelic Furs, and Erasure.

#1 He shook it like a chorus girl and he shook it like a Harlem queen
#2 You were right when you said all we are is dust in the wind
#3 It's a luscious mix of words and tricks that let us bet when you know we should fold
#4 One drink too many and a joke gone too far I see your face drive like a stolen car
#5 It is pretty bright upon the rainbow bridge tonight
#6 I had seven faces, thought I knew which one to wear
#7 Passive attraction, programmed reaction Action distraction, more information Fresh saturation, lips on a napkin
#8 I had too much to drink, I didn't think, I didn't think of you
#9 Let me get my hands on your mammary gland
#10 I'm a modern guy, I don't care much for the go-go or the retro image I see so often telling me to keep talking
#11 And all I want is something special, And you can't give it to me, And all you do is lie to me
#12 You never wanted them that way What a cruel price you thought that you had to pay
#13 I think that hunger, war and death are bringing everybody down
#14 If you ever get close to a human... you better be ready to get confused
#15 I'm a high school lover and you're my favourite flavour
#16 They tried to stay in from the cold and the wind making love and making their dinner
#17 You always said always said always said you were easy
#18 I said rock, what's the matter with you rock? Don't you see I need you rock?
#19 went down the hill, the other day my soul got happy and stayed all day
#20 So go on Mister, make Miss me Mrs you
#21 Let's do this together, I'm sure that it's fine We'll feel bad tomorrow, that's another time
#22 I drive naked through the park and run the stop sign in the dark
#23 The fiction in her family was that she was never nice
#24 City lights lay out before us and your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
#25 She feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China

YESSS!! (I love that song)
Now it's in my head... It was the only song that used to drown out my boss who sat 3 feet away from me, so I used to blast it through my headphones for 6 hours. I never got tired of it!

My hubby on the other hand is a whiz at music stuff and song lyrics! I feel a bit old as I'm more into classic rock and funk stuff. I've recognized a few of your guys' songs but I'm pretty much clueless here! HEHE!!!
