A wondrous game for everyone's enjoyment!
This has been going around and I've never done it, so now's the time. Great way to rediscover forgotten music on your playlist, as I've learned!
Go ahead...guess away! If you like the look of any of the lyrics, just let me know and I'll tell you who they're from and possibly send you a song or two.
One thing: does anyone know how to make a strike-through using LJ HTML? Of all the things, I still haven't figured it out.
Step 1: Put your iTunes or equivalent on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 50 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike out the songs when someone guesses the titles and artists correctly and put the name of the song/who sings it and the username of the person who guessed it at the end of the lyric.
Step 4: Looking them up on google or any other search engine is CHEATING!!!
