Step 1: Put your iPod or MP3 player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) of the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. (I'm only doing 10.)
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: NO CHEATING (that goes for the guesser, too!)

1. Find yourself a girl and settle down, live a simple life in a quiet town.
2. I've been all around the world, I've been a new sensation...
3. My mother had a brother; they say that I was born on the day that he died.
4a. (No idea; it's Gaelic.)
4b. You're sorta stuck where you are, but in your dreams you can buy expensive cars or live on Mars and have it your way.
5. You're a song written by the hands of God.
6. If I give up on you, I give up on me.
7. From the brightest star comes the blackest hole.
8. I'm lying here on the floor where you left me.
9. When I wake up early in the morning, lift my head, I'm still yawning.
10. I can feel the magic floating in the air.




I had to do a 4b since 4a obviously doesn't give enough info.



The answers:

1. Steady, As She Goes--The Raconteurs
2. Video-Wordplay--Jason Mraz
3. My Mother Had a Brother--George Michael
4a. Coinleach Glas An Fhomhair--Clannad
4b. Bad Days--The Flaming Lips
5. Underneath Your Clothes--Shakira
6. Stigmatized--The Calling
7. Crumbs from Your Table--U2
8. Just Like a Pill--Pink
9. I'm Only Sleeping--The Beatles
10. Breathe--Faith Hill

Good heavens, I actually know one! #9 is "I'm Only Sleeping" by The Beatles.

This kind of game always makes me realize how I know the songs, but not their title... At least for me it does.

1. It's a new song currently playing on the radio all the time... but I can't tell it's title!
2. New Sensation by INXS

1. I don't know it without cheating either.
2. Good guess--it's on my iPod too--but wrong. Sorry.
