"Here's the challenge: On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down an easily recognizable line [or a few] from the song... in Latin. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.
Extra points if you can name the song & artist(s) in Latin, or improve on my translation.
I suspect this meme will catch on like wildfire!!"
I will follow his example by starting with 10 and seeing how it goes. I will also make it more puzzler friendly by not allowing comments in this entry. Post answers as a reply to the next entry. That way, you can start on your own, then work with the group once you feel stuck. Or go directly into group solving.

- A collegiis erravi et hic me inveni / quia amor tuus mihi necesse est, amor metus meos tuetur
- Ora lata angustiis cum mentibus dissensionem tuam accipere non possunt / notiones novas licet venare, hoc appellant ....
- Tantum tibi placuerunt / illa quae dixisti / sicut "is meum dimidia pars humilior est" / risisti / sed flebis
- Atque cum eum in via video / cor saltat et ictum transilit / ad eum directe ambulare volo / ei basium permagnum dare (mua!)
- Vos vicinos omnes cupire debeo / vulpem ex atrio vociferari / et clamare vocibus quam altissimis / vup! vup! vup! vup! vup!
- Tacite Conquiescit Somniculosus Tigris Sub arbore Vitis in ripa Aquae
- Dives olim mihi dixit / vitam esse rem hilarem / pauper olim mihi dixit / se non satis pecuniam habere ut loqui possit
- Nunc solus diem totam curru vehor circa / te cupio / te amo / te desidero (I would need to look this one up)
- Tibi VI hebdomades plures dabo solum propter casum / a sententia discedere potes, nulla tibi substituta erit
- Sed se vitam tam contrariam egisse scripsit / dixit se numquam uxorem pastoris juvenis futuram esse
