The process/rules
1; Put your MP3 player or whatever on shuffle.
2; Post the first line from the first 50 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (I'm skipping foreign languages and ones I can't understand.)
3; Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from. (They must post Artist & Song, spelling doesn't matter, and taking a guess is always welcomed.)
4; Strikethrough the lyrics when someone guesses correctly and put the song and artist under the corresponding lyrics.
5; Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
