The return of the lyrics meme
Jul. 11th, 2016 04:12 pmHello LJ! Let's do a lyrics guessing meme I've done in the past.
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.
Note that if the first few lines of the song include the song's title, I may choose to censor those particular words if I think it's too obvious with the title left in, or I may leave it if the title isn't too distinctive a phrase. I also skipped a few songs that were especially obscure.
So shuffle came up with some that are pretty well-known and recognizable, but also a few that are tricky enough that I couldn't guess them from my own music library, so the difficulty varies vastly. Comment with your guesses!
