pedanther:
1. Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.
2. Record the first few lines of the first thirty pieces of music that come up that do not give away the name. Skip instrumentals, but don't skip the embarrassing ones.
3. Make hapless internet 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. Least hapless internet denizen wins admiration. That's right, just like a computer when you don't have power, the points don't matter.
Okay, another one where I've bent the rules. As you may remember, the last time I did this, I explained that my ultracheap music player doesn't have a shuffle, so I used a random number generator to pick tracks. Well, since then, I've lost it and haven't got a new one. So what I did this time was physically shuffle a stack of CDs, with my eyes shut, then use a random number generator to pick the tracks.
(Yes, it would have been easier to use a random number generator to pick which CD as well; I realised that when I'd reached 27...)
1. There's an energy crisis,
Every day at the pump it rises.
2.You know I've got to hear you explain,
I´m so confused by what you say.
3. Well she's up on the catwalks twice nightly,
Wouldn't say she's as skinny as hell.
But it's true that she makes Kiera Knightley,
Look a bit like the late Orson Welles.
4. When the noise begins to grow,
Stroke my brow, so I'll know.
5. Oh, some do say the farmer's best,
But I must needs say no.
6. Down, down, down you go,
No way to stop.
As you go, hear me call,
No, no, no.
7.All the homes on the globe are like the television in your eyes. Got by speakr2customrs
8. It was one summer morning when an old friend called in.
He said "I'm gonna build a big house,
For all the little children."
9.There's thunder's clouds,
Round the hometown bay. Got by speakr2customrs
10. Mercury,
Venus,
Earth,
11.I've travelled the world, I've seen a few things,
They find their way into the songs I sing.
12. I've taken all the things I thought were an illusion,
And I have layed them on the ground.
13. I want to live a simple life like a wild man in the woods.
Get back to nature and renounce my worldly goods.
14. I saw a snail drive a nail.
15.When I'm away, please take good care of my heart,
And when I'm gone, say a prayer for love. Got by speakr2customrs
16. You called me last night on the telephone,
And I was glad to hear from you 'cos I was all alone.
17.He came from the North, the man with the voice,
Gave us the message and he gave us a choice.
18. When every turning is blind, every road leads you nowhere,
And all you long to do is run and hide.
19. I love digging in the dirt, with just a pick and brush.
Finding fossils is my aim, so I am never in a rush.
20. In the spring of 1322, Henry Felip and his son,
Were riding home from Nottingham,
When they met with six bold robbers.
21. You know the girl has made her mind up,
She told me you're the only one. Got by silly_swordsman, but not title.
22. In 1844, the Democrats were split,
The three nominees for the Presidential candidate,
23. He was born from an egg on a leaf on a branch on a tree,
He ate an apple and two pears, three plums and four strawberries.
24.Na cuibhlichean a' tionndadh,
An rathad deas agus tuath. Got by speakr2customrs
25. Out there's a world where a man can live high,
High as a heaven can be.
26. Tonight I feel so far away,
High up on some mountain with nothing to say.
27.When you arrived in Canada you walked the streets,
Out of work, out of money, your prospects bleak. Got by speakr2customrs
28. Sick and tired of lying in this hospital bed,
All wired up and intravenously fed.
29. Last time I checked,
We were revolting adolescents,
Full of turmoil and tumescence.
30. You know it isn't easy, 'cos every move I make,
Throws me down upon the ground.
