step 1: put your music player on shuffle.
step 2: post the first line from the first 15 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
step 2a: Skip any instrumentals and songs where the first line is or contains the title.
step 2b: Also where the song is in a foreign language which you can't actually understand well enough to transcribe.
step 3: strike out the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
step 4: looking them up on google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
step 5: if you like the game, post your own.

1. Electricity, eye to eye

2. I was born in the same town as you

5. Johnny take a walk with your sister the moon U2, "Mysterious Ways" (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] minkhollow).

6. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, come on try and tell me what you're talkin' about

7. Fighting soldiers from the sky, fearless men who jump and die Sgt. Barry Sadler, "Ballad of the Green Berets" (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] camwyn).

8. As you waltzed in, the room became aglow

9. Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup Rufus Wainwright covering The Beatles, "Across the Universe" (guessed by [livejournal.com profile] minkhollow).

10. I was at this carnival just a few years ago

11. Climb into this car and I will take you for a ride

12. If I line up my mistakes, how many should it take?

13. I guess I was skeptical when I first met Dr. Martin

15. The trees are thin and the sky is gray

Yes and yes. Well, the latter is actually the Rufus Rainwright cover from the soundtrack to I Am Sam, but whatever, it counts. :)

#7 is the Ballad of the Green Berets, but hell if I know who performed it.
