Posted: 10/22/07 at 6:15pm

Got this in an e-mail, looked like a fun thing to try on a message board:

1) Put your iPod on Shuffle.
2) List the first few pharses of a song of 15 songs.
3) Have everyone guess the song name and the show that it's from.
4) Send the results to everyone who guessed after 24 hours.

(I'll post the answers tomorow I guess)

1. Ring out the bells upon this day of days

2. With one look, I can break your heart

3. Bobby, Bobby, Bobbobbobbob, Bobby

4. Think of me, Think of me fondly

5. Once, you won't remember. If you said Hollowood, her's was the face you'd think of

6. This is his liar, I seen the old folk around

7. Have you heard of this Broadway?

8. YOu were once my one companion

9. There's a face we wear in the cold light of day

10. It won't be easy, you'll think it's strange.

11. Now Eva Peron had every disadvantage you need

12. Hurry Up! The birthday boy is on his way.

13. This money's yours, please take it all

14. The choice was mine, and mine completely.

15. I don't see a miracle shining from the sun; I'm no good at statues...

Some easy, some hard...guess! Good Luck!

Okay, seeing as how you're answers are up I'll just put up some from my iPod, then I guess after I give out my answers (after people respond) someone else can put up theirs. Because you did 15 I think I'll only do 15 as well, helps the game go by faster.

I'll put the answers up in 24 hours like you stated in the rules.

1. I used to tell myself that I had everything, but that was only half true.

2. We both know why we're here, I see it in your eyes

3. I know it's wrong. I know he's rough. I don't know what to do

4. Welcome, sulfur dioxide...

5.Ooh, Mr.Todd, I'm so happy, I could, eat...

6.I am going to the Lordy, I am so glad...

7.I don't want to talk about thing we've gone through...

8.You're either a poet, or you're a lover, or you're the famous Benjamin Stone

9.Well, hey sunshine! sunshine? looks like rain to me.

10. Just too unreal, all this. Watching the words fall from my lips

11. On a central square in the city of the sun rose a palace...

12. Remember where you found me, working as a hatcheck, slumming with a gambler...

13. In 1963 our widowed son, a tragedy (tragedy) married a friend from New York City (a pity, pity)

14. Kiss me to fiercely, hold me too tight...

15. There's a light in the darkness, though the night is black as my skin...

1. Packed up my whole life/ moved without a thought/ drove throughout the night/ left more than I brought

2. A friend's not a cheap little phony creep/ or a jerk trying to make a deal

3. Portrait of a girl/ canvas of ages/ the stage is hers/ demure and practiced beauty/ holding all enthralled

7. I'm one of a long line of good girls/ Who choose the wrong guy to be sweet on

8. First time I ever hear a banjar play/ sound like it's talking right to me/ man who play it come from Africa way/ black as an ebony tree

10. Why can't I be like the boss/ 'cause being like me is no fun/ why was I doomed to be left?/ why wasn't I born to run?

11. If I told you now/ that I didn't have the answers/ that I didn't know the reasons/ that I didn't hold the key

12. You were such a funny boy/ an awful baby/ Jamie/ a terrible screamer/ a beautiful dreamer/ a looker out of windows

13. There's a breeze off the river/ through the crack in the windowpane/ there's my boy on the pillow/ and I feel like I'm lost again

14. I let him kiss me once/ I let him kiss me again/ And when he kissed me again, I said oh no

15. Here we are/ your grateful children/ please accept our sacrifice
