Well, I sucked pretty hard at figuring out
kuni_bob's,
mcsimpson's, or
rissdemeanour's versions of this meme, but here goes for mine. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten past about 10 CD's in the process of ripping my collection to mp3, so there's a lot of artist (and album) repetition. I'm not usually one to participate in memes, but this one was pretty interesting. Too bad I don't have any LJfriends to quiz. Woe is me. Woe!!!
Go nuts, y'all.
Rules:
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 30 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: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
