According to Donna, it’s an old meme. I’ve never seen it before, and in anycase I haven’t done it before, so here goes.
Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play.
Step 2: Write down the first line from the first 20 songs that play or close to it. (I skipped those where the first line mentioned the name of the song.)
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly
(Btw – using google is cheating. Honor system, no cheating!)
It occurs to me that it’s the sort of thing one should only do with a long list of regular readers/commenters, but what the hey. I’m skipping the songs in Norwegian, btw. Perhaps I’ll do another one with just Norwegian songs later.
