Lyrics listing. Took my more-favorite songs, tossed them on shuffle, took 25 (mostly the first, but I eliminated any I felt were too obscure, that had no lyrics, or that repeated an artist tooooo many times by my feelings), grabbed line(s) from them. Feel free to try to identify, or just read and decide I listen to weird music, as appropriate. Comments screened so more people can have fun guessing, if you wish. Feel free to guess just the title, or title and artist. I'll be listing later with the artist who sings the copy I have, which obviously for some of these may well not be the original artist.
Some of these will be particularly easy for some of you, I realize....
