Digit put this game on his facebook. I think it could work on the fist.
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line (unless the first line reveals the song title) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and song title correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: Post your own
My first ten are below with the rest after the jump. If I had to bet, I predict that DirtFinger would be able to name more of these songs without cheating than any other single finger.

25. Ain’t it just like the night to play tricks when you’re trying to be so quiet?

I guess only fingers with D at the beginning of their name can answer my list.

A finger with a D at the beginning of his real name started it.

15 is, indeed MCPB. 27 is not.
There are still two Bob Dylan and a Tom Waits song that I’m surprised haven’t been guessed.
