Lyrics game

I found out I could purchase Snacky's Law on a mug or a t-shirt or a mousepad from Urban Dictionary. I want a mug but... I don't feel like I should pay. They should be paying ME! Goddamn, the most well-known thing I ever did, and someone else is monetizing it. My life, so hard. :D

*************

While I mull over lawsuits, let's play the lyrics game! You all know how this works, right? I put the iPod on shuffle, give you the lyrics to the next 20 songs it plays, you guess the title and artist.

Ready, set, GUESS!

2) Right here, right now, Elvis brings his children home

3) now I'm sleeping on the sidewalk and I know why (why man?) yeah hey!
