I sing the songs that make the whole world cry!

Per my usual modus operandi I’m late to the party with this particular meme. It’s been done all over the place by now, but the original place I saw it was at Guess Who’s Student Teaching, so she get’s the link love. You all know the deal already, I’m going to list the first four lines of twenty songs on my mp3 player and you have to try and guess the song and artist.

I’m not making this too easy for you, the playlist I used has 2,872 songs in it so you may have to really think about a few of these. To make things a bit easier I will tell you that the music genres in this playlist are limited to rock and jazz – no country, classical or soundtracks. One more hint is that I dig music that ranges from classic rock to head banging acid rock. No artists repeat and answers will be posted in one week.

Ready, set, guess!

1.
Here comes the sun king
Here comes the sun king
Everybody’s laughing
Everybody’s happy

2.
Standing in the rain with his head hung low
Couldn’t get a ticket it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall then  like a distant scream

3.
I am an only child born of the wild
Riddled to spend my time defending the land
You are the only one born in the sun
Riddled to spend your time defending my plan

4.
Yea, well I sing like an amputee though
Why
Cuz can’t hold a note can’t carry a tune
Knock knock Mister Rogers it’s Mister McFeelie

5.
Take my hand
I’ve changed my mind again
Really I believed it true
That all who fell in love were foolish

6.
Bitch
You’re a thief of hearts and now you’ll have to pay
How many licks does it take
You’re a thief of hearts and now you’ll have to pay

7.
Another summer
Another vacation is over
A September morning
With the sun and the smell of the clover

8.
Yeah, that’s funky funky
Yean that’s funky funky
Yeah that’s funky funky
If it smells like Funk it must be us

9.
Oooh you know I love you
Oooh I’ll always love you
Oooh even though the tears are falling
Oooh from my eyes

10.
Y’all still want me to come with you
Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my sould on fire
There’s a whole lot of money that’s ready to burn
So get those stakes up higher

11.
I will have faith in man
That is hard to understand
Show some humility
You have the ability

12.
Sweet little sister
This scene’s getting’ old
Don’t you think it’s time we got to go
I got so twisted

13.
I don’t need your sympathy
There’s nothing you can say or do for me
And I don’t want a miracle
You’ll never change for no one

14.
Freedom will come
To real love
Heaven will come
For real love

15.
I’ve seen the heart of darkness
Let’s just say I crossed over that line
Held hands with the hopeless
In too deep on that ride went around one more time

16.
Operator
Give me information
Information
Give me long distance

17.
I never knew what a kiss could mean
Until the first time I kissed you
You took my love in the palm of your hand
An’ showed me what a woman could do

18.
I don’t know who you think I am
I don’t know who you think I am
I don’t know who you think I am
I don’t know who you think I am

19.
He’s the wolf screaming lonely in the night
He’s the blood stain on the stage
He’s the tear in your eye
Been tempted by his lie

20.
I am being haunted
It’s four o’clock in the morning
And I’m sitting on my stairs
And there’s bangin’ round the bedroom
