It must be nearly two years since I last posted a 25 first lines quiz, so I thought I’d give it another whirl. The idea is, I post the first lines from 25 songs, and you guess the artists and the title. Simple! All the songs are or were popular, so nothing too obscure, and all are or have been on my play list, so if you follow me at Last FM, you may have a bit of a head start – but only if you have been paying attention. Leave your answers in the comments, and good luck!
