Music Lyric "Identify the Song" Game:
I'm not sure if this will work since the potential for extreme obscurity is so great with songs and lyrics even compared to movies, but here goes.

People posting song lyrics only post them in reply to this original post, and people answering only post in reply to the post with the lyric (and in acknowledging a right or wrong answer, only post in reply to that answer).

This way, if the thread takes off, people can scan the thread tree to see if an earlier lyric was ever answered or answered correctly.

I'll start off by posting a lyric in reply to this OP.

The first time I saw REM live was on the Fables tour, and they opened with this song. It's an odd choice to kick off a show, but then again, REM has always been a bit of an odd band.
