meme
so, this meme is going around lately - I've seen several variations of it, but essentially it involves posting lyrics to songs and seeing how many of these songs people can recognize. Needless to say, I can't resist a meme that involves song lyrics, so yeah. Person who gets the most right gets a prize :)
It'll be a good prize, I promise :) I'll post the answers before I leave on the road trip. Oh, no googling/researching, that's not fair.
