It's kind of a mini-mixtape game. The idea is that somene asks for 5 songs for a certain situation/feeling/word/picture. The next person gives the songs he/she thinks fit it perfectly and asks for 5 new songs. And so it goes on... Hope I explained it clearly...

I'll start:

5 songs you would play to your grandmother to try and make her dance (assuming she's not dead).
