gridloreSeen everywhere. Here are the first lines from the first twenty songs iTunes pulls out of my Top Rated folder. You tell me the artist and title.
I will warn you: There are two filk songs and one from an extremely obscure Canadian band in there! Some should be blindingly obvious, some pretty damn hard. I did skip over songs that were band repeats and covers.
1. I turn on the tube, and what do I see? A whole lotta people crying 'don't blame me.' ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nimrodjcs gets a half credit. Technically, it's an Eagles song.
2. Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire dalen_talas shouted "BOOM!" when he saw this one.
3. Besides yourself if radio's gonna stay grimmwire and I are both not sure about that first word.
4. I like to keep it in the refrigerator. kshandra keeps the powder dry and the action quicker.
5. In a foreign field he lay
6. Didn't know what time it was the lights were low
7. Hey there, all you middle men fragbert has heavy vibrations coming up from the floor.
8. Is this the real life? filkerdave has a devil set aside for me.
9. The mother of all that is evil
10. Speaking as a guy who's really got it going on,
11. You pretend you're high madelineusher shows off that college education.
12. Head bangers in leather heartofawarrior is an up-front fanatic
13. There were guns and drums and drums and guns, haroo, haroo kshandra gets half credit. It's by Captain Tractor.
14. Shot through the heart, and you're to blame heartofawarrior still keeps a picture of Jon on her notebook
15. Mother was an incubator
16. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, filkerdave hits with one of the best filks ever.
17. Words like violence christophine was last seen trekking the moors with a beach chair.
18. The scientist sits at his sonar and he's scanning the lake for a sign Am I surprised that filkerdave got both filk songs?
19. Just a little touch of make-up; just a little touch of bull;
20. I went to a party last Saturday night heartofawarrior says it ain't no big thing.
