iTunes Question Meme

Which I picked up from the excellent cartoonist Rene Engstrom (pretend there's an umlaut over that "o") --

1. Put your iTunes (or any other media player you may have) on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS!

(I've put an equally-randomly chosen alternative in brackets underneath, though, when the first choice is just a non sequitur.)
