Bumping so we can get more entries. Yeah, more entries to move me closer to the bottom. Oh well! :smiley:

24

I was hoping to at least make the top 15.

Hey, Dopers! Yoo-hoo! Feud here!

Think this one is too hard? :confused:

26

Yes.

Yes I do.

27

Yes I think it is too difficult. I would have hard time coming up with ten breakup songs, let alone putting them into different categories.

28

I like music and I think it was too hard! I looked at it and then couldn’t get “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do” out of my head long enough to think of anything else! :rolleyes:

29

For one thing, I think categories #9 and #10 are too similar (especially if you want to avoid using the same song twice).

30

Hence all the sitcoms using it as season finale/good bye songs? :slight_smile:

31

I agree it’s very hard. Howzabout I score this one and put another up?

32

Yup, that was my thinking also.

33

One vote for yes here !

If I had gone with my first choice, “I Call Your Name” by the Beatles, it still wouldn’t have matched anyone. (I actually considered answering the whole feud with Beatles songs.)
