Staraj says,
Time out. Of course, this game is an "open Google" test, as it were. But Google's all-seeing eyes notwithstanding, as a former country music deejay, I can certainly come up with six words from some very obscure songs and thereby make myself a party pooper. (Or rather, a Google pooper.)This game is a novel concept; however, I ask: Should the songs be limited to those that can be searched? But . . . that also contain lyrics, which are meaningful to the person offering the six-word line.
Okay, back to trying to figure out the song above.
