Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. Pass it on to 15 people and include me. You can't use the artist I used. Try not to repeat a song title. Re-post as "my life according to ( artist name )".

Three Strikes
Thursday, July 23, 2009
You've been tagged. You are supposed to write a note with the 4's of YOU. I changed the number from 3, so that you can waste exponentially more time of your life completing this than you would have originally. At the end, choose 20 people to be tagged. You have to tag me. If I tagged you, it's because I want to divert you from anything more important you might be doing instead.
(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 4's of Me, tag 20 people - in the right hand corner of the app - then click publish.)
