I’ve blatantly stolen this one from Selana, cause it looked like fun. And since this is my first post of the new year - Happy New Year!!
The game goes like this:
1. Grab your iPod or other MP3 player and randomize your songs.
2. Type the first line/phrase of the first 20-40 songs that come up (you can skip one if the first line is, say, the actual title of the song).
3. Anyone can try and guess the title of the song by commenting on this note.
4. When the title has been guessed, bold out the lyric and add the name of the person who guessed it.
5. NO cheating by using search engines to find answers.
Start:
1. Through the rise and fall

(Alright, I went a little overboard, but it was fun! I was a little liberal with the use of the “skip” button, partly because I have a lot of instrumental-type songs, and partly because my iPod is where I store MissV’s car music, so these are all songs I freely listen to rather than the ones a toddler forces upon me. Also? I never realized how eclectic is the stuff I listen to!)
