Slightly adapted! :P
Step 1: Set your primary playlist to random and shuffle it.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play (or more, if you like!), no matter how embarrassing the song. If you want to, skip instrumentals, songs that have the title in the first line and songs that aren't in the first language of the majority of your flist (it makes it easier for most).
Step 3: Try to guess the songs (and artist, if you want) that they're from!
Step 4: Strike through and add the artist and title below the lyric when someone gets one right.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating. Please don't.
Step 6: If after 30 days, there are still gaps, put people out of their misery.
(1)When I'm worried and I can't sleep
Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep, Bing Crosby

(7) We're not safe until he's dead

(10) She is not romantic
(11) She cried to the southern wind
(12) For many days we travelled
(13) Gotta take a little time

Lady in Red, Chris de Burgh
(21) Here I am, face to face

The internet is definitely for procrastination
on 2012-05-08 04:19 pm (UTC)And now, for further procrastination, I'm going to google the rest anyway, since if I wait 30 days I'm afraid I'll no longer remember I was interested.

on 2012-05-08 08:40 pm (UTC)Given your track record, I think it's very likely that you know a bunch of the others. They're way less recognizable without music, though!
