I feel like I win when I lose
Aug. 13th, 2009 08:55 amI've had a fabulous idea. Everyone likes lyrics quizzes, right ? Well, nearly everyone. But they take time to write...
So, what we need is the self-writing lyrics quiz. But that's not the kind of thing that automated systems are good at. Instead, how about a cooperative effort where everyone does a little bit ? You fill in one lyric in the poll below, you fill in the answer, and by tomorrow we'll have enough for a proper quiz (and everyone will get at least one correct). I'll post it up on Friday afternoon, which is the right and proper time for such timewasting nonsense.
So:
I expect from the known readership here that we're mostly after rock, pop, indie or gothy stuff. If there's a secret clutch of hiphop fans out there, shout up.
On with the show!

So:
- Be correct. At least have a little google and make sure you've got the words right.
- Don't be too obscure. Even if that band from Brighton are brilliant, don't use a line of theirs if there's not a good chance that a decent number of people will have heard of it.
