So I've been thinking of doing this one for a while.

Step #1: Put your iTunes (or other player) on the "Shuffle" setting.

Step #2: Post the first line from the first 20 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. Please don't use Google or any other way to CHEAT, for this spoils the fun for others who actually KNOW the answer.

Step #4: Check off the songs when someone guesses correctly.

I'm not going to necessarily use the first line, because that sometimes makes it too easy and sometimes it's hard to be certain just what is the first line. Most of these will be from musicals.
