Not bad, not bad. What about MIX 8: Devise a mix CD of songs with numbers in the title, EXCEPT for 1 or 2. So U2’s “One” is no good. “Just the Two of Us” is also out. But “In The Year 2525” is in. MIX 9: A very challenging one: cite 10-12 songs with fabrics in the title. Not articles of clothing; types of fabric, either artificial or natural. ---
