No, You still don't like to leave before the end of the show.

Aaaand I finally surrender and do the random jukebox 'Name That Tune' meme...
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

Note: List Modified to remove instrumental tracks, tracks that are just short dialogue snippets and repeated appearances of artists.

EDIT: Crap. I forgot that when I put 'song title' in carats LJ would read that as a crude HTML tag and remove it. Fixed now!

Oh but I ain't seen nothing, nothing to stop this frown

That's all right. There is some very obscure stuff on there. I certainly wouldn't be able to get most of them if someone else had posted them. That's the wonderful thing about randomization, I guess. :-)
