occultatio has started a second installment of his name-that-tune meme, and everyone's having such a good time playing that I thought I'd participate in a second go-round as well.
The rules are simple: you get the first few seconds, before any lyrics start, of thirty songs, and you have to identify the songs from just that much introduction.
(The songs are mostly randomly chosen here; I skipped ones that had very uninteresting introductions, or which have already shown up in other installments of this game that I remember. You don't get the whole introduction in all cases; some songs that have long introductions I truncated around thirteen seconds. Only one introduction here is about thirty seconds long.)
1;2;3;4;5
6;7;8;9;10
11;12;13;14;15
16;17;18;19;20
21;22;23;24;25
26;27;28;29;30
Here are some clues for 1, 3, 5, 8, and 20.
1. This one originates on the Internet.
3. Yes, it's quoting what you think it's quoting; it's doing that for a reason.
5. It's a well-known showtune that doesn't have much to do with its musical.
8. Between recognizing the voices and identifying the genre, there's only one song this could be.
20. This is from the same album as one of the songs that's already been identified.
A lot of easy ones here, I think, as it turns out. Have fun! The correct answers that have been given are summarized here.
Update, 3/26. The remaining unguessed answers have been added to the answer list.

Date: 2007-03-23 02:12 am (UTC)6. "Let It Be"
8. "Baby On Board," by I forget whom. Except it sounds like the Muppets.
9. "Graceland"?
10. AAARGH I KNOW THIS ONE
12. Uh, Billy Joel... "Only the Good Die Young", I think.
14. TMBG... is it the one about prosthetic foreheads? No?
17. Ragtime, but Gawd only knows which reprise of "New Music" it is. Unless it's the very opening song, maybe?
18. Cabaret. Don't Tell Mama.
19. A Summer in Ohio Last 5 Years yay!!
20. I'm gonna guess this is something else by Paul Simon.
21. I don't know what it is, but I like it.
22. "New York, New York," Frank Sinatra's recording.
23. OMG STAR TREKKING.
24. Christmas Bells from Rent. Most distinctive opening evar.
25. Entr'acte from Les Mis? It's the "Who Am I" theme for sure.
29. "The Scarlet Pimpernel," The Scarlet Pimpernel
30. "Rhapsody In Blue," Ambiance (I think that's their name?)

14. Yes!
17. You're overthinking it.... Reprise of "New Music"? It is "New Music"!
18. This was a much more popular guess than what it actually is, for some reason.
20. Nope, not that album...
21. It's actually one of my least favorite songs from Songs for a New World, but I can send it to you if you want.
24. Most distinctive opening? Even compared to, like, 22?
25. Well, not far off....
Right about 6,8,9,12,14,19,22,23,24,29,30.
