('coz I gotta jump on these game bandwagons)

Stolen (a few steps removed) from http://mog.com/Hello_Mimi/blog/230581, none of whom's songs could I guess...

Step 1: Put your music player on random.

Step 2: Post the first line (or so, some are hard) from the first 21 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.

Step 3: Post and let everyone guess what SONG AND ARTIST the lines come from.

Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly (No lyric hunting! That is cheating!).

Step 5: After doing the 1st 21, listen to one more random song and post it as your title.

Thief's Note: I did "cheat" a little, by omitting songs under the following circumstances: the song was an instrumental (for obvious reasons), the song's first line was the title, or the song's first line was completely incomprehensible (see: Cocteau Twins).

16. The hoods are up on 9th Street
