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: Edit: Bold the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.
