For each question, press the next button to get your answer. 3. You must write down the name of the song no matter how silly it sounds! 4. Put any comments in brackets after the song name. 5. NO CHEATING! 🆒 ——————————– Questions (somewhat [borrowed from here](http://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/freshliving/2009/02/the-ipod-shuffle-oracle-game.html)): 6.
