Sing Me A Story by whatis 42

October 22nd, 2006 12:20 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Write a story using only song names. List the songs you used with their artists.

Bonus points for creating an audio file of your story, the song titles sung from their original tracks.

My primary resource for this task was Allmusic.com. It's a searchable database of music, where you can find what appears to be any song ever recorded (recently, anyway). Here it is:
