The "Movie Quotes: A Conversation" thread in the WANderground reminded me of one of my favorite iTunes playlists. Called "Every Title Tells A Story (Don't It)", the idea is that, well, every song title is used to tell a story. It's ever evolving -- up to 457 titles right now. The only stipulation that I have is that a title by a specific artist cannot be repeated (covers are okay) -- so if you spot any duplicates here, let me know. And here's a warning right away -- this does not tell a family-friendly story whatsoever.
