Step 1: Put your iPod/MP3 player or iTunes on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post it on your blog and let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Update the list with the song title when someone guesses correctly. (I will identify any unguessed songs by Friday.)
Step 5: Make your guesses by leaving a comment or sending me email. You have to identify both title and artist, and you're not allowed to Google any of these, either.

Waitwaitwait... I also have:

Oh I just figured out another one. #9 (I think) is Kids with Guns by Gorillaz, yes? I haven't listened to the song so I'm not sure but that sounds right.
Sorry, SHD, that's not it. Think a little more flannel. :)
This is another one that I had to Google the lyrics for because I had no idea what the beginning of the song actually was...
9. Nirvana, "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
Yay! That's my girl.
Damn! I got here too late.
