There is nothing to read here. The content is over there, to your right.

I may, however, at some point, put something here. Some day. Eventually. No pressure.


shuffle

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

30] Some people call me the space cowboy...(Steve Miller Band - "The Joker" - JtS)


pffft. Heh. Ok, so if the lyrics are off, mea culpa. I made a guess at the hazy ones.

(And I had to cheat because a lot of the music on my iPod is lyric-less. I suppose I could've hummed a few bars...)
