is it all in that pretty little head of yours?

Note: A few people have reported being unable to post comments on this entry, and have sent their answers to me via email. (This especially seems to happen to people who sign their comments via AIM.) All comments are approved by me before they're published, but if it seems that a reasonable amount of time has passed and your comment isn't appearing, it's possible that it never got through the system to me. Feel free to use email as a solution to this problem.

Since the last lyrics game generated some attention, but not until it was already over, we're gonna try it again. First lines from 25 random songs (selected by my iTunes library on shuffle), eliminated when someone guesses correctly, with credit to that person. That's how they do it on Facebook. The title of this post will be a line from song #26.

Obviously instrumentals and songs in languages other than the one this blog is written in (except for 16, which I couldn't resist) were skipped. I also skipped any song by an artist that had already been represented, or any song that was used in the previous game. As chance would have it, some of these are pretty damn obvious, so don't cheat.
