UPDATE - Congratulations to Becky and Welcome to Scoops first ever "Name that Tune" contest! I put my I-Tunes on shuffle and wrote the first line(s) of the next 25 songs that came up. Your challenge is to guess what song and artist it's from, but you CAN'T use google, yahoo, etc. Brain power only!
RULES:
In the comments section, write the question number you are answering, the song and the artist. Each correct song title and artist name are worth one point. Only the first person to correctly answer gets the point(s). The person with the most points by Friday, May 23rd at 6:00 p.m. (mst) gets an amazing cd of assorted music from me. (Thanks to Dennis for the idea)
I have a pretty obscure and diverse taste in music, so GOOD LUCK!

I'm such a loser. I only know two of these off the top of my head:
7. Released - Glen Phillips
20 - Born Loser - Matthew Good
-Dennis
Fun game idea! Here are my contributions:
9. Goo goo dolls "We are the normal"
14. "don't speak" by no doubt
24. U2 "I will follow"
-Becky
Becky pulls into the lead with six points. Very nice work there!
Do I get points for something someone else has already guessed. Probably not. No Doubt was the only one I would've got. Although #1 sounds familiar.
#4 Jolly Mon - Jimmy Buffett
