My brother did this, and he hardly listens to any music with lyrics, so here's my list. These are taken from a playlist sitting in my home directory. For fun, let's just use the first lines of the songs.
Post your answers in the comments and if you lack a blogger account, please leave your name. I'll try to cross these off as they're answered.
Also, you get extra points if you discover any mishearings (i.e., "'scuse me while I kiss this guy.").
1. "I met a man, he was a good man, sailin' and shorin'..." Frank Black - Los Angeles (Aja)
2. "'It's getting late,' she said. She touched my face. 'Let's stay out late as we can.'" Minus the Bear - Monkey!!!Knife!!!Fight!!! (Julie)
3. "They're fightin' on the aisle and they're fightin' on the floor."
4. "Born to be down, I've learned all my lessons before now." Local H - Bound for the Floor (Aja)
5. "You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht." Carly Simon - You're So Vain (Mom, who won't post a comment)
6. "1,800 miles from this ol' nightclub, a girl is turning 22 today."
7. "We've come to feel so cold." The Impossibles - This Is Fucking Tragic (Aja)
8. "I could be wrong and still I argue when I'm weak."
9. "It's easy when you know how to get along with a..."
10. "You make me nervous."
11. "I was driving up from Tampa when the radiator burst." The Mountain Goats - See America Right (Aja)
12. "So just how far down do you wanna go?"
13. "Sitting 'round the railroad station, reading books 'bout intimidation."
14. "Oh, mommy, she touched me, mommy!" Ben Folds - Make Me Mommy (Christine, because Kevin was too lazy to come post the ones he knew)
15. "B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-back again my nizzle." Rjd2 - Ghostwriter (Sammy was close enough)
16. "Not of this world, entirely."
And four more to round it out:
17. "Cover my face with roses, cover me head to toe." Luna - Friendly Advice (Julie)
18. "Punk's not dead, it just deserves to die."
19. "See me ride out of the sunset on your color TV screen."
20. "My dinner's on fire while she watches TV." Ween - Piss Up A Rope (Julie)
Some of these are a little obscure, while others will be obvious to certain individuals. Have fun.

#17 Friendly Advice, Luna
Ooh, ooh, I know 20. It's Ween-Piss Up A Rope. First ween song I ever heard.
song #15 is rjd2-the horror. i'm hip with my hop.
that record is really good.
now, give me my due!@# pay up dues to the anonymous
non-blogger-account-having sammy.
okay, so i got the name of the local h song wrong, but at least it proves i didn't cheat and google the lyrics. :P
#7. the impossibles - this is fucking tragic.
(i skipped right over this one the first time around - and i'm ashamed because it's one of my most favorite songs in my entire universe.)
Man, I suck at these things. Cool post, though.
Oh, that was me*!
