Here's the meme:
Step 1: Put your iPod or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 [non-instrumental] 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.
- 1. Action time the bottom line
- 2. You're comfortable as the poison dunce
- 3. I loved you for a long long time
- 4. Love in our hearts twist and turn
- 5. Color by numbers, stay inside the lines
- 6. Seven days was all she wrote
- 7. She must have opened me up
- 8. We're only making plans for Nigel
- 9. I don't don't believe I went too far
- 10. On the border there's disorder
- 11. Discovered love in the rancid days of ruin
- (skipped - does a 300 baud carrier count as an instrumental?)
- 12. As poison teardrops trickle from the sky
- 13. When we set out on this journey there were no doubts in our minds
- 14. You run away from the truth; why do you hide?
- 15. Understand me and completely
- 16. No books, no magic words
- 17. Things crawl in the darkness
- 18. Tell me exactly what am I supposed to do
- 19. Murderer, man of fire
- 20. Algie's simply, simply awfully good
Yeah, I know, I don't usually meme, but I've enjoyed this one. It's been
a kinda fun game guessing other people's lists, and I've enjoyed seeing
the random cross-section of other people's playlists. I didn't think
I was going to post my own this week since the office usually has someone
else's music playing, and I'm at my desk too intermittently to deal
with headphones. Today was an unexpected day off, however, and I put
music on while dealing with the bills.
