Instructions
1. Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.
2. Record the first few lines of the first 20 songs that come up that do not give away the name of the song. Skip instrumentals, but don't skip the embarrassing ones.
3. Make hapless LJ (or DW) denizens guess the song names and artists. Google is cheating. For musical songs, the name of the musical is acceptable in place of the artist.
4. Least hapless LJ (or DW) denizen wins admiration.
(My modifications: I'm including the non-English-language ones I have lyrics for as extra bonus entries. I'm tempted to skip duplicate artists -- like any proper random selection, certain musicians are over-represented -- but am leaving that as-is.)
( alas, Kansas's Play the Game Tonight wasn't in the top 20, because that would have been appropriate )
