Only about half were guessed. Maybe that means I have odd musical taste?

arabian tagged me for another meme, so I'll try to get to that later. :)

People often don't guess many of my songs on those either, since I really have an odd range of music tastes.

Lol, wow, I have no idea how I missed number 14. It really doesn't get any more obvious than that.

[alexiscartwheel.livejournal.com]

Yeah it's not like that song has many other words in it! :P

I've been bad... I'VE BEEN BAAD!

[d4ni.livejournal.com]

You certainly have. ;)

I feel like the appropriate response to that is some sort of suggestive comment that would prompt Jeff to call us lesbians.

Here, have a seductive Kara Thrace look.

No one got mine either...I don't think its that your music is obscure (because I've seen your myspace and its not), but maybe we don't have enough friends who listen to the same music? Also, it is really hard to guess a song based on the first line.

...maybe we don't have enough friends who listen to the same music?
This is likely true. I can't seem to convince anyone else that the radio stations here all have crap formats. :)

And yeah, is is pretty hard to guess just based on one line. I typically remember a melody better than lyrics, so if I can't match lyrics to melody... nothing.

I think it would be easier if it was done with a line from the chorus. I'm the same way, with the melody as opposed to the lyrics...
