There's been a music meme going around. But as I'm too shy to tell you when I turned eighteen (at least today anyway, try me back in a week), I've come up with a variation, using www.popculturemadness.com's list of hits from the nineteenth century.
Now, which of these do YOU know? Bold the ones you can sing an entire verse to (add a * if you know a parody or variant of the original words), italicize the ones you can sing (or hum) at least one line of, if not the whole thing, and strike out the ones you wish you never had to listen to again. The ones you don't know (at least not from the title) will stay plain.
( Music alone shall live, never to die! )
