A Fun Game for Music Fans-- "My Life According to" (Kate Bush)
Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. You can't use the band I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think! Repost as "my life according to (band name)"--good luck and have fun!
