1. Put your music player of choice on shuffle
2. Post the first line to the first 32 songs that come up
3. Let people identify the song!

Things you need to know: I eliminated duplicate artists and instrumentals. I am a child of the 80s, a vidder, and a musical pack rat. I also blame barkley for some of these entries.

Several of these have vids associated with them, though not all. So for the bonus round, can you identify one vid that's been done for one of these songs?
