Baaaaa. First line meme.

From camwyn: First, put your playlist on shuffle. Second, post the first lines for the first 20 songs to come up (along with these instructions). Third, have people guess the songs and artists in comments to the post. Fourth, in a few days the answers will be posted.

I have excluded songs with no lyrics and songs in Finnish (I blame my former housemate Michael). Songs that someone has already guessed correctly are struck out.
