So what, it's the periodic table?
Subject: Re: Big random lyrics quiz Part I (11 to go)
Written By: karen on 04/14/05 at 11:31 am
Yes, the first letter(s) is for each element in the periodic table. The missing ones are either impossible to do (e.g. element 69 is thulium Tm) or songs where Taoist doesn't know of a song
