adelineWho wants to play a round o' lyrics-guessing game?
Under the cut, the first lines to 100 random songs picked off my playlist for y'all to ID. Some of them even have the title in their first lines, some are what I assume to be classics, so every player should recognize at least a couple.
Rules are simple: No googling, pls. Half-points are granted for incomplete answers (i.e. title without artist or vice versa). Game will be running all week. Comments are screened, winner gets bragging rights. Oh, and did I mention NO GOOGLING? ;)
Good luck, all! :D

*starts skimming*
#46 *SQUEE*!!! "Black Balloon" - Goo Goo Dolls :D
#63 I think I know but it's a vague thought in the back of my head...
#71 "One" - U2 :D (or U2 + Mary J Blige if its the newer suckier version)
#72 *guesses* "Revolution" - The Beatles?? (That's me going back 13-14 years trying to remember that! LOL)
#78 Sounds like "Stand By Me" or "Lean on Me" or, oh wait, that "Help me if you can I'm feeling down" which was originally recorded by The BEatles (I think :\ I actually know the John Farnham version better LOL)
#87 I'm sure I know too. :(
