The last iTunes trick was "The A of B": songs starting with "the " and containing " of ". For those interested in the 29 songs that fit, here's the list. Er, though I did take the liberty of alphabetizing them--both halves of them

  1. The Art of a Coed
  2. The Ballad of Billy the Kid
  3. The Ballad of China
  4. The Ballad of Dancing
  5. The Boys of Dreams
  6. The Dance of Eddie Praeger
  7. The Dark Night of Love
  8. The Dream of Maidenhood
  9. The End of May
  10. The End of Mr. Morton
  11. The Great Wall of Pickled Okra
  12. The Guns of Rock & Roll
  13. The Heart of Shalott
  14. The Heart of Silence
  15. The Joy of Snuff
  16. The Lady of Summer
  17. The Look of the Alps
  18. The Lusty Month of the Blue Turtles
  19. The Pinch of the Cebu
  20. The Pointless, Yet Poignant, Crisis of the Cucumber
  21. The Politics of the Innocence
  22. The Ranks of the Magnificent Seven
  23. The Rhythm of the Matter
  24. The River of the Possible
  25. The Simple Joys of the Saints
  26. The Song of the Sneak
  27. The Sound of the Soul
  28. The Tale of the Summer
  29. The Yodeling Veterinarian of the Undead

Sadly, one of the titles didn't change. However, those that did change pretty much uniformly changed into more entertaining titles, I think. For those who feel an intense need to "solve" this, the songs are by or from: ABC, Billy Joel, Boiled in Lead, Camelot, Da Vinci's Notebook, Dar Williams, Don Henley, Evita, Francis Heaney, Huey Lewis and the News, Loreena McKennitt, Paul And Storm, Paul Simon, Paul Simon, Re-Flex, Schoolhouse Rock, Sting, Veggie Tales. Not, of course, in that order.

Perhaps tomorrow, the slightly less entertaining "X with Y" list (including such classics as "How Fortunate the Man With Mrs. White" and "Is She Really Going Out With My Father?").
