I'm going to stop now.

 

Ok now what?

 

I was going to offer to tally up the songs by continent or cuisine, something like that. Seems we need to create some kind of analysis here.

 

That was my question - we need a step 2.

 

I think Bubbler just wanted to see how many people he could get to sit down and make these lists. 8)

Upcoming Challenges:
Songs With Girls Names
Songs About Food
Songs With Numbers

 

I actually contemplated doing one with proper names. Because TMBG gives me James Ensor and James K. Polk, to start.

 

Elleanor Rigby

 

Mrs. Robinson (?)

 

Step 1: List songs.
Step 2: ?
Step 3: Profit.

This is going to take awhile, but what the hell, I'm off today.
