The bandwagon looked a bit crowded, so I'm jogging behind
I'm not usually a huge meme fan, but this one (and the shipping one, which I'm sure I'll post soon) looked like a lot of fun. I decided to wait a few days after the rush so that people would be more likely to take the time to participate. :)

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.

The Thunder Rolls, by Garth Brooks (Guessed by magic_7_words)
5. A little paint, to cover what's deep inside/

6. There's moonlight on the trees/
Painting silver on the leaves/
It's so beautiful out here/
I just have to stop and stare
7. All alone, staring on/
Watching her life go by/
When her days are grey/

10. This can't really be what life is all about/
Learning how to live just to live without/
The travesty's the irony, and the irony is you/
I've traded in my sanctity for a cheaper shade of blue.

And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily/
oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me.

Lay you down, lay you down/

We took a walk up the street/
We picked a flower and climbed a hill above the lake/

Don't just walk away/
Pretending everything's ok/
And you don't care about me.

The leaves were falling red and gold and I/
