Music

 I listened to a LOT of music on the drive to Florida and back.  Nearly 2000 songs on the iPod.  At one point I heard a song with a name in the title and decided to track how many songs had names.  It was kind of fun.  Way more women than men and only a few names that were full names of REAL people.
