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

(2) The Earth is our mother
(3) Remember the good old 1980s?
(4) Stranded at the drive-in

Sandy, John Travolta (Grease)

(5) Is it getting better?

One, Adam Lambert

(8) There ain't no reason you and me should be alone
(9) It may not feel too classy
(10) She is not romantic
(11) She cried to the southern wind
(12) For many days we travelled
(13) Gotta take a little time
(14) One-track mind like a goldfish
(15) The other night, dear
(16) You and I were meant for one another
(17) If you're the bird
(18) I've been alive forever
(19) You know our love was meant to be
(20) Never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight

Lady in Red, Chris de Burgh

(21) Here I am, face to face
(22) We've been friends for a long, long time
(23) I have never felt like this
(24) It seems you can't hear me
(25) All hail to the Lord of the Rings
(26) Where it begins, I can't begin to know

Sweet Caroline, Neil Diamond

(27) I heard there was a secret chord

Hallelujah

...I had to skip past so many songs for this. I have a ton of instrumentals (o hai John Williams and Howard Shore and Chopin!). And quite a few that begin with the title, too! (I kind of fudged that, actually.)

I think I only know 27 (Hallelujah) and 29 (The Music of the Night); the rest are a huge mystery.

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.

...or maybe I've somehow avoided familiarity with conventional music? Google tells me I'm familiar with most of the artists, a majority of the songs, and apparently none of the first lines.
