22 songs

Yes, it's that guess-that-song thing that's been doing the rounds recently. I didn't bother with the random selection of songs, on account of the likelyhood of coming up with a bunch of songs with no lyrics.

Remember, search engines are cheating!

I live with you! Have I heard half of these songs? *laughs*

You quote 1 at me so often, and I still have no idea where or what it si from.

2. Carole King - It's Too Late?

I'm not going to try for any of the others cause I can't recognise any of them. That aside, I still loves you :)

You've heard more than half these songs, yes. :P

#1 is familiar because it's my IRC /quit message (not that anyone sees much of it these days)

#2 is correct. You'd be surprised by the age of many of the songs quoted. Many of the newer songs I listen to these days have no lyrics. :P
