Wow, talk about out of it--I haven't heard of any of those!

Nah, these are all weird ones--and that can come off as kind of smug ("oh, look at the fancy music **I** know, la dee dah!"), but I wanted to have the songs be ones I owned and that I actually liked, and some of categories were surprisingly hard (the food and drink ones, for me) to think of songs in.

[sartorias]

Weird ones makes it more fun, I think.

If 90& of what I listen to wasn't instrumental, I'd participate, too.

yhlee did it with instrumental pieces--you could do it by if they had the thing in the name (like "Flight of the Bumblebee" for an animal).

Very true! Let me see if I can wrench some time.

A Drink: Shurwayne Winchester: Girl Born to Wine

Oh, that's good.

I came across this song because a segment of it was on a DJ's CD that was tossed out a car window. That CD led me to lots of good songs!

Seriously? That's amazing!

Yes for real! It had 50 clips that blended into each other, most about a minute or a minute and a half long. It had hip-hop, reggae, reggaeton, all sorts. The clips I liked, I tracked down and listened to the full song of.
