    None of that ' you pick if you get it right' crap. Just chuck some lyrics up, or guess one that someone else cobs in.

    Try not to pick songs that are too obscure, in fact the more mainstream the better if nobody gets it. Oh, and ask for clues rather than using search engines. <ok>

    I'll kick it off with these from a song I was familiar with, without knowing these are lines from it.



    Did you ever read about a frog, who dreamed of being a king, and then became one?

    I've had to break my own rules already and google to find out. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    It was the 80's apparently, although the singer's been around since God was a lad I reckon..

    Taxi light shines so bright
    But I don't need no friends
    As long as I gaze on xxxxxxxx sunset
    I am in paradise
