A couple of people on my flist have been doing this today, so I figured I'd take a shot.
Step 1: Put your media player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating.

10. Little Drummer Boy - It's a popular Christmas carol, so everybody and their mom has recorded this. Bing Crosby would be a likely candidate though.

I don't think I've ever heard the Bens version - was it a cover of Hedwig or vice versa (or were they both covers?)
