Ha! I know, games like this are hard with the possibility of the dreaded SimulPostTM. But allow me to suggest a new rule for the game: The new song title cannot be based on the same word that the previous song title was based on. In other words, if the one before mine was “Talk to Me Baby”, and I say “Don’t Talk”, then the one after that has to use “don’t”, not “talk”. Just a suggestion… does everyone agree? ---
