Welcome to Ela's SNG. This is run a little differently than other SNG's, so bear witmeh.

What I do: I'm putting my iPod on Shuffle and writing down the first lines of the first 30 songs that play. Spoken lines don't count. Remember, IT'S ALWAYS THE FIRST LINE!!! Don't be fooled! (There are some exceptions to this rule, which I will point out if they come up.)

What you do: Comment on this journal guessing the titles of whichever songs you know, and who the song is by or what it's from. Don't worry if someone already guessed one that you know, include them all! Only, no cheating. You know it or you don't. If you suddenly remember it (without looking it up) you can reply to your own comment.

What's NOT included:
- songs in a language other than English
- instrumental songs
- songs by the IUCC
- songs that were on the two lists on Facebook

Extra tips:
About covers, because I have a fair amount of those - I will accept only artists who have played the song BEFORE the one who I have on my iPod. For example, for Sarah Brightman's Scarborough Fair I will accept Simon and Garfunkel (because they played the song before her) but for Sarah Brightman's What You Never Know I will not accept Hayley Westenra (because she covered the song after Sarah). Both of those songs have already been done on previous quizzes.
You will probably see a lot of Phantom of the Opera, Sarah Brightman, Oasis, and Eurovision. (weird combination, huh?) If I was including French songs you'd also probably see a bunch of Natasha St-Pier.

I will announce the winner when I feel like it.
