2. Can't Take That Away From Me -Ella Fitzgerld or Billy Holiday are the two I have, of that song.

That's the only one I can get. What's your paper on Hamlet about? Can I help?

Ella Fizgerald is the one I was specificially listening to.

I'm not sure what the Hamlet paper will be on yet, but I've written about 10 papers on that play already, and I always have a plethora of ideas. It's my favorite literary work ever. :)

It's awesome. :) Very cool. What past topics have you used? Only if you're comfortable, I'm just curious, because I love Hamlet as well, and love to hear others insight. :)

Well, the eternal question of whether or not Hamlet is insane; Gertrude and Ophelia as manifestations of the feminine ideal types; sexual taboos (Oedipal complex, Electra complex, sibling incest, homosexuality); Hamlet as Romantic hero; Hamlet as Protestant hero.

Plus, I've worked a lot with Hamlet off-shoots, specifically in Tom Stoppard (Dogg's Hamlet and Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead) and *a lot* with Hamlet in cinema. I did my senior honors thesis on a comparitive analysis of four filmed versions of the play (Olivier, Zeffirelli, Branagh, and Almeryda), incorporating all of these topics (as well as others), plus specific analysis of each of the films themselves, both in terms of the directors' script interpretation as well as examples of different motifs within the Shakespearean film genre.

7. Mysterious Ways U2

One of my favorite lines from that song.

(The rest, I'm bad, once I hear the music I know words, but reading this I'm just not...hmm.)

I'm completely transparent. And, considering this is U2 we're talking about, I'm totally okay with that! :D

#16 is Paint It Black by the Rolling Stones. Yep.

Yep. One of my two all-time favorite Stones songs (the other being "Sympathy for the Devil").

I'd actually be surprised if you know #18, because it doesn't strike me as an artist you like, though I could be wrong.

And, Melissa, you're my fake plaaaaa-aaaastic love. ;)
