Okay. I guess music is it.
If we’re going there, then we should probably talk about the Man, the Poet, the Master Storyteller, the Legend.
Best song by Sting. His work with the Police is fair game, because why not?
Two divisions:
1) Songs everyone knows because they’re on the radio every day.
2) All the rest.
I’ll start first:
1) Roxanne. You might question the wisdom in selecting a song about a lady of the evening, but I would argue that this is actually about true love and seeing someone for who they really are, and not based on their imperfections and mistakes in life. You might argue for Tomorrow We’ll See since it covers the same themes, but then again, they don’t play it on the radio, so it’s disqualified.
2) Seven Days. I mean, if you’re going to have an ultimatum, then you at least need time to think about it. Plus anything with unusual time signatures is bound to be worth bonus points. And the fact that we are left with a cliffhanger, wondering how he actually responded to the ultimatum? Pure gravy.
