Just going over my music files on the computer, I found that in my Jukebox folder alone I have 3,218 tracks which accounts for 13.3 GB of my hard disk space; and it is only one of 19 music folders, the others being albums I have ripped to disk.
So I decided to make a contest with song titles as your prompts.
Below are two lists of randomly selected songs from my music library -
pick only one and pen me something brilliant inspired by it's title.
