Why does the smell of hairspray make me thing of spring?

Music Meme!

The beginning lyrics of 25 songs I thought of off the top of my head because I'm an old-fashioned gal who still uses CDs (I have an MP3 player, but I only put about 6 albums on it before I lost the connection cord and just haven't bothered to mess with it again). They are all CDs I own. No cheating, etc, etc. You've all seen it. Have at it! (and based on my ability to guess y'alls, I'm going to bet not even a quarter of these get guessed)

Close on 10, right song, but I was going for the original artist! :)
12 has no 'miss' in the title, but close enough, and besides, you get extra points for correctly naming the person singing in 11!

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

Yes on 8 & 13, the artist for # 11 would be tough because it's been done so many times! (but, yeah, right song!)

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

Yes on 12, 11 is from a cartoon but not Hercules!

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

Yay you! Two right is good, better than I do on a lot of people's! It's not that you're bad at it, it's just that people don't share your taste. I mean, you immediately recognize the songs you know, right?

[hollywood630.livejournal.com]

11 - i need a hero - bonnie tyler
12 - american pie - don mclean
13 - livin' on a prayer - bon jovi
19 - once upon a december - deana carter

[gelsey.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not that I don't share the taste sometimes. I just fail to recognize the words right off (I'd do better with the musical introduction, lol) or I know them but can't identify them.

I should do this since the gremlins consented to give my MP3 player back.

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

You should! I love guessing... or rather, I love the "OH!" of getting one, so make them easy, okay? ;)

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

11 - not the version I have! ;)
12 & 13 - yes
19 - yes, though on my CD I have no idea who is actually singing it...

[cdpeck.livejournal.com]

7. True Colors - Cyndi Lauper
11. Holding Out for a Hero - Bonnie Tyler
12. American Pie - Don McLean
13. I want to say Livin' On a Prayer - Bon Jovi, but I don't think it starts with Once Upon a Time. And it could be Tommy, not Johnny. But I should still get credit. :-D
24. Fallen Angel - Poison (love this song)

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

7 - yes
11 - bot the version I was going for - think green, and animated
12 - yes
13 - yes, the 'Once upon a time' bit is spoken
24 - yes, I'm glad I'm not alone in liking it!
