The rules are simple. I put my WMP on random and wrote down lyrics I liked from the first 25 songs, skipping instrumentals and same artists. Your job is to figure out what songs go with which lyrics and tell me what they are. It's fun and everyone likes it. Some of them are pretty obscure, others should be a snap. DO IT! Amuse me. Oh, and don't listen to the songs or look them up on the internets. That's cheating.
