Gah! There's some song on the radio that starts off with a sound clip that is almost identical to one in a Fugees's song - "Ready or Not," I think - and then it launches into a song that is not even half as good. Grar. That's it, I'm breaking out The Score, which I haven't listened to for ages, since my R&B and hip-hop stage. Yes, I, indie rock and emo devotee, went through a hip-hop stage. The first album I bought for myself was TLC's crazysexycool, I think. And I have Lauryn Hill and the Fugees in my CD collection, along with Aaliyah and Erykah Badu. And I used to have Monica and Mya, too. But I also used to have Spice Girls and Aqua as well. Hanson, too. Dear lord. At least I was never into boy bands. I can take some consellation in that, as well as in the fact that my music tastes have improved. Though I will say that the Fugees, Lauryn Hill, and Erykah Badu are still pretty good, even if they're not my favorites anymore.

Okay. That was an odd little tangent. But still on the subjext of music... After all that hard work I put into coming up with the best lyrics for that song meme, no one even tried to guess. *sniffle* So I'll just share the answers.
