1. Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.
2. Record the first few lines of the first thirty pieces of music that come up, with the title, if it appears, redacted. Skip instrumentals, but don't skip the embarrassing ones.
3. Make hapless internet denizens guess the song names and artists. Google is cheating. For musical songs, the name of the musical is acceptable in place of the artist. Leeway is also given for traditional ballads, jazz standards, etc.
Where a song began with the backing singers making "doo doo doo" noises, I used the first lines of the lead part. Where the spoken component of a song consisted entirely of backing singers making "doo doo doo" noises, I counted it as an instrumental and skipped it.
One of these is background music from a film that fades in partway through the song in question, so the "first line" is actually from halfway through the first verse. Good luck!
