zorb's journal. So, having been reminded, I'm doing it now (before I forget again ::grin::). Turns out this is a bit of a pain on my iTunes, since I have a lot of stuff that's just not applicable - lots of classical, and a couple of audio books, plus bird calls for all the birds in the western United States. Sorta hard to quote the "Olive Warbler," huh? And I have a LOT of opera, which would have been impossible, even for me. (No, I can't identify every bit of recitative in Don Giovanni, either). ::grin: In creating this, at least three-quarters of the things that come up just weren't quotable. So, these aren't the first twenty songs to come up - but hopefully they are all guessable. :D
I thought about being really evil and putting in the lyrics to a Gloria, and seeing if anyone could randomly guess which one it was. Bwahahahaha! (But in the end, I didn't). ::grin:: I did include one opera aria, but it's REALLY EASY (I was SO happy when this one came up so I could include it in good conscience), and I'm sure someone will be able to guess. And a few of the songs are difficult - at least they seem that way to me. So we'll see how it goes.
In case you don't know the drill, if you know the name and/or artist, make a comment. I'll cross songs off the list as they are guessed. :) And there are some showtunes in there, so for those, give me the song title and show title (extra points for naming the composer).
Have fun!

I know you in autumn and I must be there
qill13, including extra composer points. :)2.
Knew that I would make it if I tried.
Then when we retire we can write the gospels
So they'll still talk about us when we've died.
dilettantiquity (including extra lyricist points). Song title guessed by cscottd3.
Bend my ear I'm not gonna go away
You are love so why do you shed a tear?
circumlocute was a bit TOO adamant about NOT knowing which of Robbie Williams' songs this was (methink she doth protesteth too much, or whatever as I mangle Shakespeare). And, of course, ladyguenivere knew that it was Heaven From Here, as I knew she would. :D4.
Bueno pa gosar mulata.
cscottd guessed correctly that the band in question is Santana, and synergy (without need for clues) identified the song - Oye Como Va. Well done, everyone! 5.
Running across the meadow

Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something I can take home?

Il n'a jamais, jamais connu de loi,
Si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime,
Mais je t'aime, prends garde a toi!
lysimache. (cscottd knew that it was composed by Bizet).9.
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days

So c'mon and bring your jukebox money.

Knows not where he’s going to,
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
dilettantiquity.12.
Can the child within my heart rise above

I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
If you won’t take me with you
I’ll go before night is through
qill13, who knew right off that it's by Melissa Etheridge, but it took her a minute to come up with the title. But come up with it she did!14.
You're just a ghost, and my heart is haunted
When I said goodbye, you didn't even beg me to stay.
cscottd knew that it's by Mary Chapin Carpenter, and munin came up with the title: What You Didn't Say15.
It made me mad mad mad

I’m thrown and overblown with bliss.

Ohh, we get together
But seperate's always better when there's feelings involved
joy0823 for guessing! 18.
But I can show you a better time

More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

requests your earthly presence at
the vicarage for tea.
robingrace for guessing this apparently rather tricky one! :)
