What's in name? That's the theme this week. Every song title includes a name (male or female). Meanwhile, I'm already dreading the Chicago winter.

Sorry about last week's lack of a quiz – I found myself in Ontario lacking a wireless connection. But today you get two quizzes in one! My darling, younger-man of a husband is turning 30! So the quiz gets 30 songs, all of which are among his favorites.

Who doesn't like talking about themselves? No one. These artists took it to a new level, however, becoming self-referential in their own songs. Go, Vanilla, Go!

For the last week or so, Mr. Whirled and I have been looking at apartments, and it's been a trickier experience than one would think. Naturally, housing's on the brain. Every song title today includes the word "house," "apartment," etc. Wish us luck on our continued quest! And happy weekend.

For the several weeks, I've been trying to cut down on (or completely stop) my intake of meat, particularly beef and pork. Oddly enough, it's been pretty easy and the only thing I find myself craving is Big Macs. Whaaat?

Anyway, there are plenty of veggie-friendly folks in the music business. All of these artists (or the front-persons of these groups) are vegetarians or vegans. All this data is from Wikipedia, so, you know, grain of gelatin-free salt.

Mere weeks after I invest in a BlackBerry, Apple announces a bigger, brighter, and cheaper iPhone. Figures. Either way, in tribute to Steve Jobs and his little company that could, all of today's songs have been featured in a commercial for the iPod or other Apple product.

All of today's song titles pose a question (for example - "What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love, and Understanding," or "What's My Age Again.") How well will you do?

Happy May! Hopefully the Midwest is out of the 40-degrees for a few months now.

All of the songs on today's themed quiz mention a musical instrument. Said instrument is referenced in the quoted lyric. Good luck!
