Lyrics guessing meme
Oct. 5th, 2014 02:15 pmI was digging throught the archives of my LJ looking for something else when I came across a lyrics guessing meme I did a few years ago that I thought might be fun to resurrect. Here's how it works:
1. Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.
2. Record the first few lines of the first 25 songs that come up. Skip instrumentals, but don't skip the embarrassing ones.
3. Make hapless LJ/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. Cross out the songs that have been guessed.
5. Pass it along.
A couple of these should be pretty easy. Some should be challenging but guessable for people who share some tastes in common with me, while several I am pretty sure won't be guessed. For one very well known song I have redacted a line that contains the title to keep at least a bit of challenge. There are other less universally-known lyrics that contain their song's title that I've left as is. Also, in addition to the instrumentals I skipped one song with lyrics in Gaelic. You're welcome.
Okay, let's play!
