Unlike posting about John McCain, this doesn't kill pieces of my soul.
ETA: Final answers posted!

1) Hit shuffle on your playlist and pick the first thirty songs to come up.
2) Write down a line of the song (try to avoid using one that contains the song title).
3) Have your friends comment and see if they know the songs. (NO CHEATING!)
4) When someone guesses correctly, strike out the line and list the correct name of the song next to it.

~~1. A sentimental song that casts a magic spell~~ "The Song That Goes Like This", Spamalot

~~2. Make friends with Hunter S. and Jackie O.~~ "A Talk With George", Jonathan Coulton

~~3. Each day a brand new vein, each tourniquet colliding~~ "Days Before You Came", Placebo

~~4. I was so pleased to learn they were faster, c'est c'est c'est vous I'm after~~ "Black Girls", Violent Femmes

~~5. Now you understand why I'm running scared, I've been searching for truth, and I haven't been getting anywhere~~ "Freelove", Depeche Mode

~~6. Spray paint the vegetables~~ "Loser", Beck

~~7. For the earth is old and grey~~ '39, Queen

8. Streets feel strange, and longer lives can never change, I'm so glad to have you and it's getting worse "Blindfold", Morcheeba

~~9. Swift might dead night, that's all right for you yeah, voodoo man, yes I can, tear it all down for you yeah~~ "Spookshow Baby", Rob Zombie

10. Let's get drunk, it's gonna bring us closer, don't I look like a Halle Berry poster "Work It", Missy Elliott

~~11. Far beyond the hazy borders of my heart~~ "Real Emotion", Koda Kumi/Jade (FFX-2)

12. I can't say that I'm waltzing, not that I don't like waltzing "This Love Affair", Rufus Wainwright

~~13. She likes the time, she owns the time, she borrows time to self-invent~~ "Oh The Guilt", Nirvana

~~14. The neighbors are concerned about the bruises and the burns, and the seaweed smell that comes in from the rain~~ "She's A Sleestak", Nerf Herder (Answered via on IM)

15. I'm evasive and vague, I'm a headless beast, I'm a subtle plague "Beast", KMFDM

16. There's a fire burning in the hall, it looks great, let it burn "The Ballad of Lea & Paul", K's Choice

~~17. Dozens of chess pieces crawling around like a centipede~~ "Subtle Oddities", Lemon Demon

18. Sailed the seas for a hundred years and left me all alone, and I've been dead for twenty years "Jackie", Sinead O'Connor

19. But it all comes down to dust, you're driven to possess, it hurts it's so unjust "Just Lust", the Buzzcocks

~~20. And the old despair that was often there suddenly ceases to be~~ "Married", Cabaret

~~21. How Scandinavian of me~~ "Hunter", Bjork

~~22. I'd rather be creepy and very strange~~ "American Made", Jack Off Jill

~~23. For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home, and I'm never gonna go~~ "Welcome to Paradise", Green Day

~~24. They had a curio museum and they had no guile, all they ever wanted was a showbiz chile~~ "Eyeball Kid", Tom Waits

25. Oh, you've got the most fantastic shoulders, delicious lips and adorable hips "Pretty", the Raincoats

~~26. Leave your red birds to sing us lullabies~~ "Ash Wednesday", Shivaree

~~27. Trampled by a horse~~ "Kiss Me", Sweeney Todd

~~28. And her name shattered years ago, scattered with the northern snow~~ "Fall No More", Bella Morte

29. The roast beef combo's only $9.95, it's okay, you don't have to pay "Still Fighting It", Ben Folds Five

30. He could catch a rabbit with one hand, he could build a castle out of sand "Remnants of Percy Bass", Rasputina

Skipped a lot of songs that were instrumental, or weren't in English, so you're welcome. Had a hard time deciding what constituted "a line" with some songs, due to the line between obvious and impossible. Went with impossible on a couple cause Erin knows them so damn well.

I may do a similar movie quote meme soon. Like the next time I have to try very hard not to think about John McCain.

	20. I listened to it obsessively for a long time, I thought you knew? I know a fair bit by heart. It's also hard to forget that time we were in the car coming home from the dentist, and you tried to sing along to that particular track and sounded like Elmer Fudd 'cause your mouth was numb. 27.
