I saw this on Eden's blog, who in turn saw it elsewhere.
Put your music player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first song is the title.
Here is what I got:
Jesus bleibet meine freude
Now is the month of Maying
Well Did you ever have colcannon made with lovely pickled cream?
Mon coeur se recommande a vous
Sing we and chant it
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen
Chi passa per 'sta strada
Captain Jack was a young man when he went to sea
A lieta vita amor c'in vita
Now o now I needs must part
The sun contains a ray
Er hat sein volk getrost't
Now for the pirate's lair
Lift up your head
There is a peaceful solution
There is a peaceful solution
Now is the month of Maying
Once a jolly swagman camped by the billabong
It's no illusion
When Daphne from fair Phoebus did fly
**Okay, I have a few versions of the same song, and I really did get 2 different versions of Peaceful Solution back to back. I actually got those for a rally that Deb organized, and one of the lines was from a Marie Osmond song I downloaded for James.
Hmm, I count 4 languages represented (and Sing We and Chant It happens to to be an English remake of the earlier Italian A Lieta Vita.) Hmm, interesting that 3 of the 5 stanzas ended up beginning with the word Now, and the first stanza and last stanza begin with the same line.
