Usual rules. I put my iPod on shuffle and post the first lines of the first 30 songs that come up, you have to guess what they are. Google is cheating, identifying "what it's from", if applicable, will be accepted, and my musical tastes haven't got any less obscure since the last time we did this, sorry. (Although if you checked things out based on my recommendations last time, you'll be pleased to know they haven't got any more obscure either. Well, maybe a little...)
Spoken word tracks and instrumentals have been skipped. Instrumentals with spoken word bits haven't, and songs which open with spoken word bits have that as the opening line.
1. "You're [redacted]" "And you're [redacted]"/"And you set up a website just like me"
2. Blimey!/Saying "Gosh!" and "Crumbs!" and "Crikey!" and all sort of rot like that
3. Very sad sack is a sad bag/Very very sad, very sad sack
4. Oh, [redacted]/If I don't always look my best
5. So this is the end, the curtain is falling
6. Against the wash of stars a nebula hangs Got by sabremeister
7. In the spring of 1532/Henry Philip and his son
8. One morning he went riding through the Itchen Valley fields
9. They'll be gathering together/Sharing hearts and hands as first rays fall
10. When you're just a little child/Everyone's so meek and mild
11. [redacted]/Tape it for all your friends and relatives
12. I walked out one morning fair
13. Well, [redacted]/The man who has the plan?
14. Be my queen of the winter world
15. I want an [redacted]/Everyone else has got one
16. Ain't nobody smilin'/They only curl their lip
17. Far along the bad road/Winding through the forest
18. Can anyone explain?/I shared your truth today
19. She walked into the room/Leaving all her lovers in her trail
20. [redacted], [redacted]/When that gorilla beats his chest
21. [redacted]/In London he did dwell
22. You know I've got to hear you explain/I'm so confused by what you say
23. I've got a little girl called Astrid, she's gonna be one and a bit.
24. Birds are calling to sing along
25. I'd rather be a [redacted] than a king/I'll tell you the reason why
26. A royal king, a shining knight/To lead us through this bloody fight
27. Newsround, Newsnight/iPlayer website Got by pedanther and sabremeister
28. The turtle moves Got by sabremeister
29. Do you think there's somebody out there?
30. Hey now, boys, there's something not right
