1. Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.
2. Record the first few lines of the first thirty songs that come up that do not give away the name of the song. Skip instrumentals, but don't skip the embarrassing ones.
3. Make hapless LJ denizens guess the song names and artists. Google is cheating. For musical songs, the name of the musical is acceptable in place of the artist.
4. Least hapless LJ denizen wins admiration. That's right, just like a lobbyist in budget season, the points don't matter.
Local rules: I stopped at 20 because it was bedtime.
1. Let me sail let me sail
2. Soak me to my skin Will you drown me in your sea
3. My God I saw him, he looked as good as dead, and he was so bad I had to turn my head
4. She wanted to test her husband, she knew exactly what to do
5. Come ride with me through the veins of history, I'll show you how God falls asleep on the job
6. You can take me to paradise and then again you can be cold as ice
7. We dreamed of golden shining towers, of lazy days and thrilling hours
8. We're goin' on a holiday, gonna take a villa or a small chalet
9. I feel the way the wind blows It tells me where you've been through I watch the way the sun sets Until the night's inside you
10. As a young boy chasing dragons with your wooden sword so mighty, You're St George or you're David
11. Lay down your sweet and weary head, Night is falling, you have come to journey's end
12. One sound, one single sound One kiss, one single kiss A face outside the window pane However did it come to this?
13. I don't believe in an interventionist God, but I know darling that you do, But if I did I would kneel down and ask him Not to intervene when it came to you
14. Looking 'round and 'round again. That's me, oh that's me. Far away on my own again.
15. Well she's walking through the clouds With a circus mind that's running round Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and fairy tales
16. A silicone chip inside her head gets switched to overload And nobody's gonna go to school today, she's gonna make them stay at home
17. Through the corridors asleep Past shadows dark and deep My mind dances and leaps in confusion
18. I heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you
19. I was born to love no-one, No-one to love me Only the wind and the long green grass The frost and a broken tree
20. Well I think it's fine building jumbo planes Or taking a ride on a cosmic train Switch on summer from a slot machine
The problem with a 16 Gb iPod is that I would only guess five or six of these, and had to google for the lyrics for half of them myself to avoid Chinese whispers...
