@Oshawott  welcome back, missed you last week. I was pretty busy myself. This is the earliest I posted in about two weeks or so. As far as titles of songs, I love how music artists come up with their titles. It is not only fascinating but unique as well. To be completely honest. 8675309 did not request for that song to be played, but when I had seen the user name 8675309, the song was the first thing I thought of. So I just figured, why not. And why not give them the credit, after all, had I not seen the number as their user name, I would not have thought of the song. Have a great Monday, and a great week as well. Take care and stay safe.  ... View more
