Humming along to the music meme...

I saw this on lyra_wing's LJ and thought it looked like fun.

Step 1: Put your iPod player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 35 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold the songs when someone guesses correctly. (Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!)

Some of these are ridiculously obvious, but I decided not to skip them anyway.

ETA: I added a few more lines to the songs that haven't been guessed yet.
