RULES: A song title is named, **with artist**. From that title, pick a word, and make a new title. Like so: “These are the Days of our Lives,” Queen From that you would take any of the words in the title, and give us a new song: “Thank You, Jack White (For **The** Fiber-Optic Jesus That You Gave Me),” Flaming Lips Who’s next? (We’ll use the last song to start, okay?) Try to **bold** , _italicize_, or underline (or any combination of the three) the word that you’re going off of, all right? Oh, and try not to duplicate songs on any given page… might be hard with 50 replies per page, but I’m sure you can do it! Provide web links to obscure songs, if you wish. Let’s start! 🙂 F\_X ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Aholibah_ > **Could we agree to try to do this without using “little” words like ‘of,’ ‘the,’ ‘and,’ etc., as the linking words?)** We could, but sometimes that’s all that can be linked. For example, what if someone posted up a song called “The Defenestration of the Iberians?” Since I assume there’s no song with the words “defenestration” and “Iberians” in the title, we’d HAVE to go with the linking words. But as a general rule, that’s a good one. 🙂 “We Are The **World** ,” USA For Africa F\_X ---
