An activity for today.

Behind the cut is a list of (fake) song titles that answer questions raised in other songs/song titles. How many of the actual songs can you identify by the time I get home from work?

Actually, I believe the correct wording of question five is: "Absolutely NUTHIN'!"

And Seven is totally,
"Whoooooo are you? Who-who? Who-who??"

By ... The Who. My dad loves to listen to this group and then ask people "who's this song by?" Try it, and watch hilarity ensue, Who's on first - style. (Note: this can also be effectively executed when listening to songs by Yes.

do you know the way to san jose?

And OHMYGOD. The web site you got this list from is HYSTERICAL. I'm falling out of my chair. Other lists of note: "Ways in which my life is like pac man's", "Ways in which she could have blinded me with science", and "Revised Titles of Love Songs I Wrote About the Shitty Bookshelf I Purchased From Wal-Mart (in Chronological Order)".
