Edit: On the VERY slim chance that anyone still cares, I put up the remaining few that no one guessed.
Am I like person # 4382 to do this? Yes. Do I care? No. Do I really dig the idea of this lyrics game? Yes. Am I enjoying this question and answer format? That has yet to be determined.
Step 1: Put your media player on random. Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from. Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly. Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
