Yes, I'm slacking on a Monday. Bad Wendy.
Aug. 27th, 2007 08:04 amStep 1. Put your playlist on random.
Step 2. Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3. Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly. NO GOOGLING.
My brother won the last round -- and he didn't even get a turn until like, a week after you LJers had seen it. Come on, you can beat him! I would offer fabulous prizes except I think that might lead some of you to cheat. No cheating!
The only ones I skipped this time were one that came up last time (out of 1300 songs you wouldn't think that would happen, but yeah) and a Radiohead song that I couldn't make out the intro by listening to it and my online lyrics source was just blatantly WRONG on that one. Good luck!
