Jay Singh of Pink Noise got me started on this post, by sharing a note in facebook, where she said:
Pick an artist, and using SONG TITLES from only that artist, cleverly (preferably) answer these questions. This is harder than it seems!
ADDITIONAL RULE: You cannot use the same artist I did, or duplicate song titles even if they were performed by another artist.
