Song lyrics quiz meme gacked from mirabehn

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 37 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own.

I'm actually going to do it slightly differently - keeping comments screened, and awarding points - 1 per song title, and 1 per artist. And see who can get the most points...
