One of those mp3 memes

[dr_whom]

Taken this time from clauclauclaudia.

You know the drill: I put my iTunes on shuffle, and then put the first line of each song here; and then all of you guys are supposed to identify the name and source of each song. In the event that a song begins with its title, I've given its last line instead. No cheating. And have at it!

The ones that have been identified are italicized.

1. Peacocks? Sink me!...
2. Look, ma'am—an invitation!...
3. ...It's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be.
4. Oh, the bases were empty on the diamond of my heart...
5. Giorgio, I stand here staring at the sunrise...
6. ...very merry vegetarian!
7. Mother said straight ahead...
8. Mayn kind, mayn treyst, du forst avek... ('My child, my comfort, you're going away...')
9. Hello and goodbye; I've just unemployed you...
10. Paris, the city of lovers, is glowing this evening...
11. May the Lord protect and defend you...
12. ...Let this embracing replace forever, keep us together evermore!
13. Finders can be weepers; losers can be keepers...
14. Of all the boys I've known (and I've known some)...
15. Gray skies are gonna clear up...
16. In a place that won't let us feel...
17. Every day I wake up, pour myself a cup...
18. There he goes! My congressman!...
19. Hey nonny ding dong, alang alang alang...
20. One minute I'm in Central Park...
21. Hey, up there! Way up there!...
22. Pennies or nickels or dimes....
23. Everybody's lover! Everybody's brother!...
24. Do you remember the night I held you so tight...
25. Times have changed...
26. Could be.... Who knows...
27. It takes a lot of men to make a gun...
28. ...boldly going forward, 'cause we can't find reverse.
29. There's a face that we wear in the cold light of day...
30. Many's the time I've been mistaken...
31. You'll never know how much I really love you...
32. Standing cold and scared on top of blue hill...
33. Here we are, your grateful children...
34. And soon we're humming along...


By the way: midnight_sidhe asked me to point people towards her execution of this meme also.

1. "The Creation of Man," Scarlet Pimpernel
2. "Weekend in the Country," A Little Night Music
6. "Plant a Radish," The Fantasticks
7. "Hello, Little Girl," Into The Woods (though it might be some other song from that show, I don't know for sure).
11. "Sabbath Prayer," Fiddler
13. It's from the Sondheim bit of Musical of Musicals, and hell if I know what any of the little bits are titled. Jitter sings this line.
15. "Put on a Happy Face," dunno the original artist
19. "Sh'boom," I have an a cappella version but no idea as to its provenance.
21. "Waiting for the Girls Upstairs," Follies
22. "Change," A New Brain
24. "The Weinerschnitzel Waltz," Tom Lehrer
27. "The Gun Song," Assassins
32. "Change in My Life," Rockapella (though I honestly prefer the Opportunes' cover)
33. "Lost in the Wilderness," Children of Eden

All correct except (7); it's actually "I Know Things Now". That line is in the middle of "Hello, Little Girl", not the beginning.

13. Good enough. The title of this song is actually "Stay With Me".
19. I think I'm not going to check this off until the artist is identified; the song is well-known enough that the best-known performers of it should be identifiable.
32. How is the Opportunes' version different from Rockapella's?

And, dude, "Put On a Happy Face" is from Bye Bye Birdie!
