Getting to Know Me
-Bandstand Edition-
This is a questionnaire that can only be answered by song titles or lyrics to a song. As a music lover, I felt compelled to do this one. Feel free to copy the questions and post your own playlist!

2. What do you think of the world today?
"No one likes us, I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Lets drop the big one and see what happens
Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me
They all hate us anyhow
So lets drop the big one now
Lets drop the big one now"
