Music-Guessing Survey

[tabular_rasa]

Step 1. Put your playlist/library on random.
Step 2. Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing. (You can skip songs that are instrumental).
Step 3. Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
No Googling! That's what they call cheating.

Skipping instrumental songs, songs not in English, and songs that start out with the title, and considering the "first line" the first line that is an actual phrase rather than scat singing, rap-grunting, or just syllables of voice, here we go . . .

Edit: 8/20/08, 10:26 am . . . and the survey is complete! I'm so proud. Congratulations to Aarthi for getting the most songs-- seven!-- as well as being f-listed with the guest contributer, lol. Also an honorable mention to Peter for finishing out the survey with a six-song streak.
