OK, I'll bite. I figure, given my f-list, that this shouldn't last long:



1) Random up your music and get 17 tracks with lyrics.
2) Post the first line of each song.
3) Allow people to procrastinate by trying to identify the song and artist from those first lines. They'll post comments and then you cross out songs when people get them right. The ones who are wrong will be pleasantly mocked.
4) Smite all cheaters who go to search engines for their answers.

1) Tell me where I'm supposed to begin
2) Sit down honey, let's kill some time Sleater Kinney - The woods deadmanwade

3) Love is in the air, everywhere I look around Love is in the Air, John Paul Young drydem
4) Walkin' to the other side with the devil trying to take my mind Beck - Scarecrowdeadmanwade
5) I can't hold this day anymore Portishead - Over
6) This is where I'll be so heavenly so come and dance with me Michael Franz Ferdinand, "Michael"

7) In the middle of the summer I'm not sleeping, cold wind blowing
8) You look like the perfect fit
9) Never been a nigger this good for this long (deadmanwade got this almost right, but andor_dwyn nabs it: "What More Can I Say" - JayZ, The Beatles & DangerMouse, from the Gray Album.
10) I've been down and I'm wondering why Stereophonics - Maybe tomorrow deadmanwade
11) She was a January girl Tori Amos, "Black Dove (January)" gollumgollum
12) Hold on! The recent exchange -

>>9) Jay-Z - What more can I say(and technically speaking it is nigga)<<

Ha! Wrong! Or rather, technically not completely correct!

OK, so, right on the "nigga" part, but the correct answer is Jay-Z + the Beatles and DangerMouse! (The Black Album version begins with "Are you not entertained?," yes?)
