Lyric Game
Good idea Keri and Keith, this is clearly more fun than school work. Stolen directly from Keith, here's how the game works: if you can name the artist/song, post a reply with that artist and song; I'll cross it out and put your name (and link to blog if you have one) next to it. I'll start off easy. Where applicable, give-away names have been removed, and lyricless song have been avioded for obvious reasons. I've also avioded the improbably obscure, so google 'em and you suck.
