Also, and I don't know what this makes me, but is 3. anything to do with Veggie Tales? (Or is it a scary thing that I see Bob and Larry and instantly think of a tomato and a cucumber?)

And yes! I am busy running around doing awesome things and arranging to do more awesome things. In January I'm going to a car show in Detroit, for free (my school is paying); today I tried out three different spinning wheels to see which one I want to buy (and the lady who gives spinning lessons said I was excellent - it was my first time spinning on a wheel :D); tomorrow there's a bonfire at a friend's house, with marshmallows. Also I might be trying out one more spinning wheel this weekend, and then ordering whichever one I pick.

(Apparently I only know one song. At least it's an interesting one!)

(And it is definitely interesting! I love Johnny Cash's version so, so much - although it loses some of the historical specificity of the original folk version, like "John Henry drove fourteen feet, the steam drill only made nine", in favor of a more mythic overall tone. But nothing beats "Ain't no machine can; that's been proved to you". *g*)

8. is the lullaby "Hush, Little Baby, Don't Say a Word," but I have no idea who the artist is. (And I thought diamond ring came after mocking bird? I always get the verses wrong, though. And I never remember how it ends.)
9. is "Last Train to Clarksville" by the Monkees.
25. must be from the soundtrack for The Wizard of Oz?
28. is "Daydream Believer" by the Monkees.
29. sounds like it's one of Bilbo's songs from Lord of the Rings? Assuming someone took Tolkien's words and made a song out of it?

And #29... haven't you heard those? Go here, then! :-) Somebody did take about half a dozen of Tolkien's poems and made songs out of them; that's not all of them in that search, but I'm in a hurry. The song-cycle is called "The Road Goes Ever On". They are not exactly the tunes I imagine the "real" tunes being, but they're pretty good. (And Namarie has the distinction of being PROFESSOR TOLKIEN'S ACTUAL TUNE, for the songwriter spoke to him about it.)

As for #29, nope, I haven't heard those songs. I'm a little hesitant to check out the link, though. I still haven't gotten over how the LoTR movies got the pronunciation of Saruman's name wrong (i.e., they didn't pronounce it the way I pronounced it in my head). I don't want to hear Bilbo's songs sung to the wrong tune!

8 is of course "Hush Little Baby" (is that the title? Or is it something to do with the mockingbird?) - maybe sung by Peter Paul and Mary?
25 is definitely the song about Munchkin Land from The Wizard of Oz.
And... that's all I've got!

And there were actually three Monkees songs! #6 was "Valleri". But yes: yay Monkees! XD
