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 . . .

Not to give anything away, but, damn, there's a lot of artist/source repeats in there.

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.

Oh, and 24 is As Long As You're Mine from Wicked since I finally figured out why it was so familiar. lol

Right! I was wondering why that one was taking so long, lol; so many people on my flist love Wicked.

6 is Goodnight Moon

[tabular-rasa.livejournal.com]

Good job. I had to freaking double-check where I even got that song, lol.

[just-you-wait.livejournal.com]

I had to play the Kill Bill 2 soundtrack to make sure, but I remembered Goodnight Moon was in your shuffle survey last week.

#8: "Sultans of Swing," Dire Straits

Yeah, I know, you don't know me lol.

LOL about the Enya. It can't always be power ballads!

Yea, the survey is complete!
