I set the music player on random and listed the first lines of the first twenty... I'll line 'em out as people guess 'em.

No googling please! :) :)

1. I eat cannibal, feed on animal
   Total Coelo - I Eat Cannibal fittzwm gets half credit cuz she missed the group.
    
2. Traveling in a fried-out combie/ On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
    Men At Work - Down Under abrahe
    
3. They see me mowin'/ My front lawn
   Weird Al - White and Nerdy fittzwm
    
4. I feel so extraordinary/ Something's got a hold on me/ I get this feeling I'm in motion
    
5. Dr. Who! (HEY) Dr. Who/ Dr. Who! (HEY) The TARDIS
    KLF - Doctorin' the Tardis abrahe
    
6. I'm sailing away/ Set an open course for the Virgin Sea/ 'Cause I've got to be free
    Styx - Sailing Away fittzwm
    
7. All around me are familiar faces/ Worn out places, worn out faces / Bright and early for their daily races
    Gary Jules - Mad World fittzwm gets it's on the second try
    
8. Crack that whip/ Give the past the slip/ Step on a crack/ Break your momma's back
    Devo - Whip It! fittzwm
    
9. An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day/ Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
   Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson - Ghost Riders in the Sky abrahe
   
   OK, he didn't actually guess the group, but there's no way to actually guess which of the many artists that have recorded this song - and I have something like twenty versions.
    
10. Well we got no choice/ All the girls and boys/ Makin all that noise/ 'Cause they found new toys
     Alice Cooper - School's Out For Ever fittzwm
     
11. When I met you in the restaurant/ You could tell I was no debutante
    Blondie - Dreamin'fittzwm
     
12. Step right up and don't be shy/ because you will not believe your eyes/ She's right here behind the glass
     The Tubes - She's A Beauty fittzwm
     
13. My baby lookin' for my baby/ Runnin' around lookin' up lookin' down
    B-52's Runnin' Around abrahe 
     
14. Sometimes you say you will sometimes you say you won't/ you always keep me waiting waiting hesitating hey yeah
     
15. Some people say a man is made outta mud/ A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
    Tennessee Ernie Ford - Sixteen Tons krazyfiberkat
    
    I'm really suprised this one took so long!
     
16. Thick cloud - steam rising - hissing stone on sweat lodge fire/ Around me - buffalo robe - sage in bundle - rub on skin
     
17. When you walked into the room/ There was voodoo in the vibes
     Atlanta Rhythm Section - So Into You abrahe 
     
18. Put on my blue suede shoes/ And I boarded the plane/ Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
     Marc Cohn - Walking in Memphis fittzwm
     
19. Naughty boys in nasty schools/ Headmasters breaking all the rules
     
20. If time itself was his demeanor There d be no sunlight or a glimmer/ Of of sunlight landing on the street
     

This'll be interesting, I'm into a broad range of stuff - some of which is seriously obscure.

You nailed two of the most obscure... (5,13), you're on a roll! :)

I gave you credit on 9, because there's no way to guess who of the dozens of artists that have done the song I was actually listening - especially since I have like twenty versions! FWIW, the version was by Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, most excellent.

Nailed it... Though I'm really surprised that Liz or Joel didn't get it earlier.

That is because they don't have my background with Country/Western Music...and a grandfather that once managed Tennessee Ernie Ford;-)
