On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favourite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.
Some of my playlist selections should be pretty easy to guess; others might be just about impossible. I thought that it would be more interesting that way ... ! ;oD
