Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. (Skip the instrumentals, the remixes and the mashups)
Step 3: Let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
I cheated a little and skipped a couple of artist repeats, 'cause it's just not as fun that way. This is from my little 2gb mp3 player, so it's a different sort of mix to the random selection I got before my proper-size iPod went kablooie.

What is that tune?!
*is futilely trying to work it out*
That tune is a collection of random humming, from no known song, so don't let it bug you. :)
That is, of course, the only reason why I didn't get it.
