Mandaris"Sorry for Party Rocking" by LMFAO
Some albums have a good opening track, but the 2nd track is totally killer. What's your favorite 2nd track song?
I don't know if the first track counts because it's more of an introduction of the album.

"Purple Rain" by Prince & The Revolution
Post one of your favorite songs that has the name of a color in the title.
I think this is one his biggest hits and a movie that I vaguely remember. I love the way that Prince did so many things and never limited himself.

"Rolling in the Deep" by Adele
Share a track by your favorite vocalist of all-time.
I think Adele has a wonderful voice and I appreciate that she uses it with restraint. I heard she's taking a little bit of break. I'd rather she do that then force another round of hits that may or may not happen.

"Walk This Way" by Hayseed Dixie
Post a cover that's done in a different style than the original version.
I used to listen to a podcast called Coverville and they would frequently have some blue grass covers of different songs. I picked this version because I wrote about the Run-DMC cover and I wanted to highlight how you can do a song in multiple ways.

"Juice" by Lizzo
A song by a band whose merchandise you've bought - what was the merchandise
I remember buying a t-shirt and feeling a small pang of regret after touching it. The quality of the material wasn't very good.

"Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba
Share your favorite song that never says the title in the lyrics.
For the longest time, I thought the song was called I get knocked down.
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I didn't know what pissing the night away meant.
