Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line (unless the first line reveals the song title) from the first 30 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!

#13 = "Extraordinary" - Liz Phair

:D

(And I know once #21 is revealed I'm going to feel exceptionally stupid...I know it, dammit, I just can't think of the name...)

[melandry.livejournal.com]

Correct!

Now, if I stick to the "correct title and artist" on #21, it could take a while. But definitely a classic.

[msmoocow.livejournal.com]

"Unchained Melody", performed by about 8764546576 people?

[melandry.livejournal.com]

Yes, but a little too late. The U2 version, btw.

I KNOW ONE!!

[oddsbobs.livejournal.com]

number 21: Unchained Melodies by the Righteous Brothers

Re: I KNOW ONE!!

[melandry.livejournal.com]

Yes! I have the U2 version, actually, but won't wait aroudn forever for someone to guess that.

[rudhampaiel.livejournal.com]

Ooh! #11 is "YMCA" by the Village People, yes? And #22 is "Shankhill Butchers" by The Decemberists.

[melandry.livejournal.com]

Correct and correct. :D

[last-radio.livejournal.com]

3 - "Two-Way Monologue" by Sondre Lerche!

11 - "YMCA" by those Village folks? :D

I know the title for 21, because I sang it in a choir once, but I haven't the foggiest who originally sang it or which of the many covers you might have, so I'll let someone else try to tackle that one.

[melandry.livejournal.com]

I'm going to assume you slipped and meant #2 for the first one and let you have it. Right on #11, too, but someone else got there first, as also on #21.

[rudhampaiel.livejournal.com]

*headdesk* How on earth did I miss Sondre? I looked right at that one and was like, huh, no idea.

[siouxieq.livejournal.com]

11. YMCA - Village People.
21. Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers

I don't think I have even heard most of them even once.......

[melandry.livejournal.com]

Both correct, both already guessed.

Yeah, some of these I doubt anyone can get. No worries.

[safebox.livejournal.com]

7. Damien Rice - Older Chests
21. Unchained Melody, by everybody ever
29. Radiohead - Airbag
30. Dido - Hunter

[melandry.livejournal.com]

Correct on all! #21 had already been guessed, though. I happen to have the U2 version.

[jadeddiva.livejournal.com]

21. Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers
30. Hunter by Dido

Yay meme!

[melandry.livejournal.com]

Both correct, both already guessed. But yes, yay meme!

[terraneanblues.livejournal.com]

.....

There are several on the tip of my tongue, but. Er. I don't know any.

I'll just be weeping over in this corner...

[melandry.livejournal.com]

There are still a few very obvious ones waiting to be guessed! Come check again and see if daytime has jogged your memory, hun.

[terraneanblues.livejournal.com]

OKAY. I think I got a few...

(9)Riders on the Storm, the Doors (I had no idea you even liked them...?)
(10)Crush, Cute is What We Aim For (which I am convinced you stole from my library at some point, you music h0r you)
(20)Loose Ends, Imogen Heap (I should've figured there'd be an Imogen Heap track on here somewhere...)

[melandry.livejournal.com]

All correct! I like the doors just fine, but only have a few tracks.

In re: Cute Is What We Aim For, I actually bought the album, and that's where the track came up (titled "Risque"), but I have a version labeled "Demo" that I probably did get from you.

Guess who isn't up there, though? No Smiths, no Lucksmiths!

[attilatehbun.livejournal.com]

Ok, 30 is - I think it's the name - 'Hunter' by Dido. I know the song, dammit, and just, gah, don't know if the damn title it right.

And 11 is YMCA, hee.

4 is Garbage, I'm almost positive. Is is 'Cup of Coffee'? I could be wrong on that, but it's definitely off of Beautiful Garbage.

Also, hi how are you?

[melandry.livejournal.com]

All correct, and #4 hadn't been guessed yet!

I am fine. Just busy, and too boring to have anything to post about.
