Song Meme!
- Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.
- 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. (yes, shadowsong, I know the difference between a song and an instrumental) (but most people will continue to call them songs anyway)
- 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.
- Least hapless LJ denizen wins admiration. That's right; the points are something you'll never see, just like Pat Buchanan in the White House!

The PR transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs to keep us all dumbed down
