I don't really know what other category this would go in, but I figured this forum would suffice since the songs listed span decades , and well... it made ME nostalgic so why not. This game is currently going around on the livejournal circuit, so I thought it might be fun to try it here.
1. Put your playlist on shuffle. 2. Post the first lines to the first 20 songs to come up. 3. Have people guess the songs and artists in comments to the post. 4. Don't cheat and look these up. This is based purely on what you know. 5. A couple of days later, post the answers to the ones people guessed correctly.
THE RANDOM TWENTY VOL. 1 01. "I need to be myself, I can't be no one else..." 02. "Hey that shark has pretty teeth dear..." 03. "All you've got is this moment, 21st century's yesterday..." 04. "I've seen the world, been to many places..." 05. "Now if there's a smile on my face it's only there tryin' to fool the public..." 06. "People livin' their lives for you on TV..." 07. "I'm not alone cause the TV's on yeah..." 08. "I watch your window for hours..." 09. "Boy mercury shooting through every degree..." 10. "Man it's a hot one..." 11. "I light your cigarette..." 12. "You were workin' as a waitress in a cocktail bar..." 13. "Here I am in the place where I come let go..." 14. "Swaying room as the music starts..." 15. "We stumble in a tangled web..." 16. "They told him don't you ever come around here..." 17. "Oh yeah I'll tell you somethin' I think you'll understand..." 18. "Goddess on the mountain top..." 19. "I have climbed highest mountain..." 20. "We're talking away, I don't know what to say I'll say it anyway..."

Rebirth got all four correct! :) Nice job on Sheryl Crow too. I figured that would be one of the harder ones.

OK, I was going to guess Charlene's I've Never Been To Me for #4, but saw I was wrong, here are my remaining guesses:
5. Tears Of A Clown - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles or Linda Ronstadt
9. Roam - B-52's (one of my all time favorites!)
12. Don't You Want Me - Human League
13. I was going to guess Tom Petty "Don't Come Around Here No More", but then the light bulb went on - - Beat It by Michael Jackson
14. Venus by Shocking Blue or Bananarama
Thanks for the quiz!

Wftn, you're right too! (Given that your guess for "Beat It" is for #16 not #13) :)
Christos, I'm sorry but keep guessing!

13 seems like something by Will Smith...I'm leaning towards "Miami".

Everything so far is right on!
Mst3k, I'm incredibly impressed with you getting "Take On Me." Most people have no idea what those opening lyrics are. Also, NICE JOB on "Crazy For You." Yo uknow your 80's.
Mike... and you would be right. As embarassed as I am for having that song on my playlist, good job getting it.

7) Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American This is giving me the hankering to start a game I saw on the Sluggy boards; I'm quite sure there'd be enough interest, I'd just have to figure out which forum to put it.

So at this point the only ones you guys haven't gotten all but three. Here are some hints to see if someone can finish this up:
01. British band of the 90's. 03. 4 Letter artist. 15. Album track by a duo who split after just two albums.

I am pretty sure what the artist on #15 is, despite not having had heard it or even knowing the title. I'll let someone else choose that.
Even though I knew #12 right away, but came in too late.

#03 has already been guessed correctly. :) #8 hasn't. For #1, I'll guess Oasis "Don't Look Back In Anger"

And you're right about #3 and #8. My mistake!
Hint for #8:
Animal-like band.

#15 is Savage Garden
but...
#1 is not "Don't Go Away."
I figure I'll give everyone till tomorrow and then post the remaining three answers if they haven't been figured out by then. After that, if no one minds, I'll post a round two. Thanks for playing everyone!

No real idea on #15, but for some reason I think it's "Tears of Pearls".
