A-Z: The Tunes Most Dear to Our Hearts


Here is another musical challenge. Make a list of your favorite song for each letter of the alphabet. This is MUCH harder than it sounds. You MUST choose one and only one song for every letter (you can cheat a little however; i.e.: if you have no X songs you can use one that is eXtreme something or other or be creative). If you have any song that actually starts with the letter though, you must use that instead of being creative. Sorry. Also, include one song that starts with a number, i.e.: One Fine Day, or 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover. Good luck, especially with the W's, S's, A's, and I's.

Oh! And we might request that there be a CD made of your list, in case we want some of the songs from it so make sure you actually possess the song you pick. Good luck again. Happy tuning!
