I saw this when [livejournal.com profile] ldwheeler did it, and thought, "hey, that looks fun!" I left in the ones with the title in the opening lines because they're (for the most part) regional/relatively unknown artists. I figured I'd let you try and guess 'em.

Access your iPod, Media Player or music storage device of choice, set it to random, and post the opening lyrics to the first 20 songs that come around, then let the friends-list guess the songs and artists. Offer fabulous prizes if do-able; if not, offer virtual pats on the head.


I'll adopt Dave's rules...no peeking until you've guessed! You can e-mail me with guesses if you like. I'll give a cookie to anyone who gets #16 right, because I didn't even know what that lyric was until I looked it up!
