Can We Play The Game Your Way?

Vroom vroom….we are on our way to San Diego today!  In case you’ve not heard about it enough, it’s ComicCon weekend and even more exciting, it’s DaveDiego!  But wait, there’s more!  I saw this fun little meme over at Student Teacher’s place and because I love music way too much, I just had to play along.  And what a better day to do this than one where I will be completely absent from the PRB?  You see how much I love you all?  Leaving little games for you to play while I’m playing with the gang down south?  (That is sooo what she said!)

Anyway the rules are as follows:

1. Put your mp3 player or music player on your computer on random.
2. Post the first four lines from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (Skip repeat artists).
3. Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
4. Don’t fucking cheat, you Google whores!

I am making this part an extended entry. I have no idea how extended entries work in WordPress yet so uh, if the rest of this shit doesn’t show up in the feed, you’ll have to click to play along! Also, I will announce the winner next week so yay you! Erm, well if you win, that is. Anyway, please excuse my totally random music tastes…I’m all over the map!

    You have no idea what kind of self control it takes to scan past the other comments so as not to take the answers from them that knows! Because I seriously do not! Here are the ones I’m pretty sure of:

    5. Sign Your Name-Terrence Trent D’Arby
    16. Peter Gabriel-(I’m a dumbass) Sledge Hammer (I said steamtrain lol)

    I am sure I know #20…but cannot for the life of me sing it to myself.

    That’s it for my lameness. Carry on.

    This is so much harder without hearing the music. I was great at name that tune but doing it from just the lyrics is difficult. I’m coming back when I have more time to study.
