I’ll give you clues as to some of the songs on my iPod, and then you tell me what they are.

First round:

1. I have two vastly different songs that both contain the phrase “Tienanmen Square.” Name them.
2. I have two more quite different songs that both mention a character with a Biblical name (and not minor characters, either, fairly decent ones.)
3. Yet again two different songs, both mentioning a twelve-sided die.
4. Once more, two different songs, both with titles referring to something bad happening to Superman.

Have at it!

Guessing only one of the two? C’mon, people, we can do better than that!

(Though if it goes for a while and no one can get the other, I’ll consider giving partial credit.)

OK, I guess I’ll start to award partial credit.

**pool** has one right for #1, **Kid\_A** has one for #3. and **Jeff** has one right for #4.

edit: Oh, and while Asshole by Dennis Leary wasn’t one of the ones I was referring to in #1, I do have that as well, so that makes it _three_ songs that mention Tienanmen Square.
