New rotation for the same old tunes

Mark Haas, a quite frequent contributor to the Oz Club message board died recently. It's always sad and disturbing when that kind of thing happens. I get a weird feeling when going back in the archives of the Oz lists and finding posts by Rich Morrissey and James P. Doyle, both of whom also died within the time I was subscribed to said lists.

On a much lighter note, I got this from arfies. I've done a lot of these lyric guessing games in the past, but this one has an added twist. Here are the official rules:

Step 1: Put your iTunes or equivalent on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

(I actually DID skip a few, mostly because April March songs in French kept coming up. But I didn't choose any of the songs myself; they all came up randomly.)

1. And I can do the ____, I can do the Robocop.
2. Said you found a way to end it peacefully.
3. Here I sit, feeling low, wishing I had anywhere to go.
4. Cry to me from wooden benches, purses.
5. Love is like a ______. The more you feed it, the more it grows.
6. Well, it seems about my whole life, I've been kind of depressed.
7. Well, guy in a skeleton costume comes up to a guy in a Superman suit, runs him through with a broadsword.
8. When we met we still had innocence, and we did things because they made sense.
9. Sometimes I feel like I need a vacation.
10. It's raining so hard, and the cabs, they won't stop.
11. It takes photon power eight minutes of an hour to make it to our sun.
12. Cease to resist, giving my goodbye.
13. What are you staring at, in that hospital bed?
14. Pinwheel spark, break loose and roll.
15. _____, o carefree days that fly, to thee we sing with our glasses raised on high.
16. Well, we know where we're going, but we don't know where we've been.
17. I've been praying all the week through, at home, at work, and on the bus.
18. Somebody invented a gun that shoots flowers.
19. My name is ____, and I excel. I can open the gates to Heaven or Hell.
20. I don't know, I don't know, where I'll go or what I'll do.
21. It's your _____, your ______. So you want to tie the knot.
22. Standing in the dock at Southampton, trying to get to Holland or France.
23. Blinking on and off, it's the _____, with a carapace shell and her black lace thighs.
24. I finally won the game. My friends are such bloody idiots.
25. Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together.
26. Everything is catching on fire.
27. Here's the sad story about a deer and a man.
28. He shouted out his last word, and he stumbled through the yard.
29. You might as well just give up trying, 'cause you can't stop it with all of your whining.
30. On the Ferris wheel, looking out on Coney Island, under more stars than there are prostitutes in Thailand.

As you may notice, I left blanks where the lyrics included all or part of the title. Incidentally, I know that both 5 and 23 are covers (and both covers by the same band, although the original artist in different in each case), so you might know a different version from the one that came up for me, and that's fine. And if nobody gets 26, I'm going to be VERY disappointed. {g}

And here's another meme, courtesy of unclemilo:

This is a list of the 50 most significant science fiction/fantasy novels, 1953-2002, according to the Science Fiction Book Club. Bold the ones you've read, strike-out the ones you hated, italicize those you started but never finished and put an asterisk beside the ones you loved.
( The list )

Is the first book in a series automatically considered more significant than the others? I mean, that would explain why both 16 and 26 were chosen over far superior sequels. Oh, well.
