music game!
So I was tagged by Olivia, and this looked like a fun game. I am looking forward to hearing your guesses!
Step 1: Put your music player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. (BTW I skipped a few songs so that each artist would be different… why does iTunes insist on putting all my Jars of Clay right in a row??)
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from. (You’re in luck… at least three of them have the title of the song within the first line!)
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly (No lyric hunting! That is cheating!)
