Alphabet Tunes

Here’s another silly music meme. This one’s from A Small Victory. Take all the songs in iTunes (or your music player of choice), alphabetize ’em, and tell the first song of each letter. Yes, it’s lame. Yes, it’s fun. I got more than 26 because I couldn’t resist including numerals and non-alphanumeric characters. And I also win the dork award because I had to take the time to give you an appropriate link to find the songs on your own.

I didn’t have the same problems as Michele, since I’m so anal that all 6800+ of my songs are tagged perfectly. So here you go … the top song by character in my playlist …
