From BritHistorian:

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.

Ack! I'm so awful at this. #15 is "Walk on the wild side" ... Lou Reed?? The only others I knew were Rainbow Connection (2) and King of the Road (17) and Blue Suede Shoes (20). Oh! and #18 is Stand by Me, but I can't remember who sang that, if I ever knew. Clearly I need to expand my horizons.

11 is Carroll County Accident - the version I have is by Dolly Parton but I know there are others.

16 is Act Naturally and I know the Beatles version though there are definitely others (was Mel Tillis the original?)
