Everyone else was doing it...

There's this thing going around (sort of like a virus, but voluntary -- revenge of the meme!) in which people run their playlists at random and post the first line of 10 songs. The idea is that people who recognize the lines will reply to that effect in the comments. If a line is correctly guessed, then the journal's owner (yours truly) will cross it out. Googling the lyrics is cheating.

I had some trouble in a few cases deciding what "a line" was... arguably, you get the first two lines on a few of these. Some are easy (if you know the song) and some are a pain in the butt (even if you adore the song.) That's why I snagged 15 instead of 10. In my case, it was also a run of my Launchcast station (skipping the miscellany) instead of a playlist as such, but... you get the idea.

I also had some trouble understanding what people were actually saying in a few of these. I wound up googling a few songs myself to make sure I didn't make any weird mistakes!

Respond if you want; don't if you don't wanna. It's all the same to me.
