The Spotify Drinking Game

My friends and I have invented a game. We may not be the first, but since I know of noone else I am taking this opportunity to codify it.
It is, I suppose, connected to drinking as it is a drinking game, so fundamentalist monotheists turn away now. But it fulfils an important role, solving two pressing issues: how to deal with the laptop-music problem where nothing is listened to for more than ten seconds, and also parties full of boring people unable to converse. 
The game goes like this: one person is 'DJ'. They play a series of songs from spotify. The other people in the room then race to identify the song. The first person who shouts the artist and song title out correctly nominates a drinker. 
If the song is identified within 5 seconds, then everyone bar the identifier drinks. If the song is not identified after 30 seconds, then the DJ must drink as a punishment. Incorrect identifications incur a fine of a drink.
That's it. Simple. But very effective.
