Lyrics Quiz: Best of 2007

This month’s lyrics quiz has been culled from some of my favorite lines uttered this year and even expanded to thirty songs this month so I didn’t have to scale it down any. This doesn’t though reflect my upcoming Best Songs of 2007 that will arrive just after Christmas because I really hate publications that do their year in review in late November or early December thus missing an entire month of the year. For my full list of upcoming festivities, click on the Holiday Schedule on my sidebar. As for the lyrics quiz, leave your guesses in the comment section or e-mail me, both song title and artist. If you are correct, I will un-bold the lyric and give you credit. Just a little hint, the lyrics are in chronological order from when they were released so for the first couple think January while the last couple will be more recent songs. And though I disapprove of using search engines to find the answers, I don’t mind if you look around my archives as some of the lyrics have been mentioned on the 9th Green before typically in album review (click on the Terror Alert Scale link in my sidebar for those). Now on to the lyrics:

Hints
1. The very first album I reviewed this year from a band that didn't change my life as advertised.
4. Did this artist really need to break out the black and white for this video? I didn't think so.
5. This video (for a song that actually appear on the artists biggest one week sales for an album this year) featured the artist's old unkle, or so the subtitles would have you believe.
8. This song was intilly supposed to feature Chris Martin but that version was pulled from the albums weeks before its release.
9. This song was released right around the time the band released a song from the Spiderman 3 Soundtrack.
11. As I pointed out in the comment section, this year featured two videos with creepy clowns in them, this band had one (but not for this song).
13. You may remember me mentioning how this singer requested me to be her friend on MySpace.
19. Song from the dude who produced the song at 14 and sung by the artist at number 14.
23. One of the few raps from a band that had plenty on their previous albums.
24. Yet another song featuring the artist at 14. The video was so brilliant I even busted out the rare two day post to feature it.
26. Yeah Nelly recorded this song a couple years back, but it was done again, to much better results, this year.
27. I featured two of this artist's video during the same segment but didn't mention the bad perm in one of them because of her age (and still won't).
29. Two years ago this artist released three albums, the last two years only one (well, and an EP).
30. Here is the other creepy clown video.
