1. Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.
2. Record the first few lines of the first thirty pieces of music that come up that do not give away the name. Skip instrumentals, but don't skip the embarrassing ones.
3. Make hapless internet denizens guess the song names and artists. Google is cheating. For musical songs, the name of the musical is acceptable in place of the artist. For soundtracks, I will accept either artist or the movie title
4. Least hapless internet denizen wins admiration. That's right, just like a computer when you don't have power, the points don't matter.
