So, here’s how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool and no disclaimers allowed.

I’m curious about Track 7 Unknown Artist. I think I’ve got the album.
It was very popular so I’m led to believe.
I tried to post my list twice before. I second time I got a messege that I had already posted the comment but still don’t see it. I will try one more time and hope this doesn’t wind up as a triple post. 🙂
It is amazing how many of the randomly selected songs match up so well with the questions.

Ed, you’d been spam captured. Have you been sending people spam? Naughty!
Dom, I like your funeral song. Some music should just be in German. Even if I can only understand a tenth of it.
German lyrics just sound hard – even if the chorus to Sonne does translate to ‘here comes the sun, here comes the sun, here comes the sun’ 😀
hmm… it’s been a little while since I did this; I’ll do it again tonight and see what pops up…
Catch you later
