Meme from rockstarwookie et al:
Randomise your music collection and list the first few opening lines from the first 10 songs on the list. See if you can guess the Song and Artist from them with just the power of your mind (i.e. without an Internet search)

1 - We were walking, walking in two worlds
2 - I met him in a crowded room, where people go to drink away their gloom
3 - There's a plane and I am flying. There's a mountain waiting for me.
4 - Every Silver Lining has a Cloud, and each piece of good fortune must be paid for by the pound.
5 - Take me somewhere quiet please, these motorway exit gates are calling to me dearly and I need a place to go
6 - The Sea it swells, like a sore head and the night it is aching.
7 - There's thunder clouds round the hometown bay, as I walk out in the rain.
8 - God damn you half-Japanese girls, do it to me every time
9 - All of us seem to walk away from everything, it takes a certain amount of originality to describe this place as home
10 - Until Sally I was never happy, I needed so much more.

I'll admit I didn't literally follow the 'instructions' and rejected some songs that were variously:
- so obscure I wouldn't be able to get them, and I own them
- have the entire title in the first line
- are in Spanish so I didn't think I could accurately transcribe them

Most of them may not be huge hits, but shouldn't be too obscure mostly. I will be impressed if anyone identifies 9 correctly, since it is a b-side.

If you have to write the question in pseudocode, then it may be unreasonably hard ;)
