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.

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.
