Comments

*Smacks head* As soon as you listed the songs, I could come up with nearly all of the lyrics for a bunch of the ones I missed. Like that Monkees one. And the red hot chili peppers song, and a few others. Like I said about needing the music. Music clips are easier than snippits of the lyrics. It was fun anyway!
