Now that I'm officially on Spring Break!, I have a spare evening and so I thought I'd deliver my long-promised third lyrics quiz. The rules and guidelines:
- These are randomly (sort of) chosen songs from the music on my computer.
- No artists duplicated from quizzes 1 and 2, though there's one technicality there.
- Because no artists are duplicated, the quiz skews towards artists for whom I have exactly one song on my computer.
- Don't judge me.
- If you have to satisfy your curiosity with a search engine, don't ruin it for everyone else.
- Don't answer more than five until this has been up for at least 36 hours. Greg.
- If you're looking for patterns, good freakin' luck.
- Except that I did make sure this time that I would have had at least a good shot at all of them, so there aren't many deep album cuts, if any.
- I'm not sure how frequently I'll be online over the next week, so don't panic if it takes me a while to update correct answers.
