On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first 20 songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favourite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line1. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.
(Personal note: I skipped any song in the playlist that didn’t have any lyrics. Anything else was fair game.)
1. “Bobby’s in the basement making his movie, He paints a little picture but not to be cheesy. He wants this little girl to believe in him easy”
2. “I thought love was more or less a given thing, the more I gave the less I got, oh yeah.”2
3. “Just put me in a wheelchair, get me on a plane. Hurry, hurry, hurry, before I go insane.”
4. “Omnia Sol Temperat purus et subtilis, novo mundo reserat facies Aprilis”
5. “Don’t you see she still thinks she’s married to you, you must tell her she’s not, she must hear it from you.”
6. “Now, the doctor came in, stinking of gin, and proceeded to lie on the table.”
7. “Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman, but she was another man.”
8. “For as long as the sun shines in somebody’s eyes. I believe in you baby, so don’t tell me lies.”
9. “Tale as old as time, tune as old as song. Bittersweet and strange, finding you can change, learning you were wrong.”3
10. “She got a new apartment, it’s out on the escarpment, and in her glove compartment are my songs.”
11. “I’m just sipping on chamomile, watching boys and girls and their sex appeal, with a stranger in my face who says he knows my mom and went to my high school.
12. “And there’ll be no one else alive in all the world except for you and me”
13. “Sometimes I feel like I am drunk behind the wheel. The wheel of possibility, however it may roll.”
14. “Shadows will grow as we watch the coals in the dark. Tears of bliss, September. Till that day, all my love safe for you. Coming home again.”
15. “Aoi tsuki to kagayaku uchuu no hoshi. Sukoshi akai budouiro ni somete.”
16. “1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Break the doll and get out of here. Come with me now. Now we are goin’ our way.”4
17. “Then I hear the voices in my head, whispering to me: ‘KILL KILL KILL THE ICE CREAM MAN.'”
18. “Well work it on out now (work it on out) You know you look so good (look so good) You know you got me goin’ now (got me goin) Just like I knew you would (just like i knew you would)”
19. “And it may take some time to patch me up inside. But I can’t take it so I run away and hide. And I may find in time that you were always right. You’re always right.”
20. “koe wa denpa ni NOTTE anata no machi ni. Atashi no omoi wo todoke ni tabi nideru.”

4: I am truly ashamed that this song came up.
