I didn't see a similar game, so apologies if someone else has done this already.

Here's the rules:

1) Every message is a line or two from a song.
2) Must be a popular song, no b-sides, deep album cuts, etc.
3) Responds to the previous lyric in some fashion (not just a random line)
4) State the name of the performer and song title

I'll be running it, and deleting off topic responses.

("Anything, Anything" - Dramarama)

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.

logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.
