Step 1: Put your iTunes or equivalent on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

[alasse-fae.livejournal.com]

Yup *g*

it's hard tho - cause it's not usually the first line that sticks in your brain...

[georgierae.livejournal.com]

true!!

[kasiliz42.livejournal.com]

OK, I don't know *any* of your songs!

[alasse-fae.livejournal.com]

1. Side of a Bullet by Nickelback

10. I Got a Name by Jim Croce

I should know 26-29 too, but just can' think of them. :(

[alasse-fae.livejournal.com]

I'm absolutely shocked no one has gotten 28 yet. Where the frak are all the New Yorkers?? LOL

[blackett.livejournal.com]

Nr16 is Springsteen, but I can't remember the title...

[alasse-fae.livejournal.com]

Nope - try again :D

[blackett.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure it is. Maybe there are two songs with the same first line...?

[alasse-fae.livejournal.com]

Could possibly be a cover too, but this is a country one.

[blackett.livejournal.com]

Kenny Chesney?

[alasse-fae.livejournal.com]

:D Title now?

[blackett.livejournal.com]

One step up, if I remember correctly. It was Kenny C who did the cover of the Springsteen song, tho :)

[alasse-fae.livejournal.com]

YAY!!

[smileraniko.livejournal.com]

Oh I know #28!
It's Billy Joel's Piano Man *g*

#26 is the new U2 song, Window In The Skies; I just listened to it :D

And I'm pretty sure I also know #11 and I'll probably remember it at one point.

[alasse-fae.livejournal.com]

So it takes a Hungarian to know a New York song *g*!

Yup and yup :)
