song lyrics

[schmerica]

I'm going to copy notemily's rules, because she put it so nicely. So:

Step 1: Put your media player on random.
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 20 songs that play.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

Plus, I will add that I weeded out repeat artists for this list. (Because, uh, I was getting the same group five times in a row. Weird.)
