Contest!

It’s another CONTEST!

But! You don’t win anything tangible! Just my undying love forever and ever.

You guys, SERIOUSLY. Please help me. I need you to inform me of every single song, phrase, quote or whatever that contains the word “world” in it. It’s for a super top secret project and I would be indebted to you forever.

FOREVER. We are the world, man.

    Ha!

    To the world, you are one person. But, to one person, you are the world.

    And – Jesus Loves the Little Children – my childhood favorite – and I would constantly ask my mother to explain to me which children were Red and Yellow.

    All around the world by Lisa Stansfield

    The Promise by When in Rome
    “I’m sorry, but I’m just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
    I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
    And if I had to walk the world, that make you fall for me,
    I promise you, I promise you I will.”

    Gee, I think I’m an 80’s dork…
