    I WAS already tagged, but I'm pretty sure some inappropriate Beatles songs are going to show up on my list, so I consider myself tagged from you as well ;)

    HG, memes like this are pretty easy and fun! Thanks for playing!

    Nina, no Beatles song is ever inappropriate... except maybe the original version of Get Back.

    Phizzle, don't forget "extraordinaire".
