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.

    I think Eminem’s Lose Yourself has the word World in it. Also, a song by the Strokes, but I can’t think of the darn name!! (sorry that I am too lazy to actually do a net search to figure out if I’m right or not!!).

    HI. I don’t have much time to read through for duplicates… so here you go :)

    Everybody Wants to Rule the World – Tears for Fears
    The World in My Eyes – Depeche
    The World has Turned, and Left Me Here – Weezer
    World Leader Pretend – REM

    And…this is all I can do, because in the short time it took me to write this, Paige just rubbed yogurt all over herself. Serves me right for leaving her unattended with a spoon and a cup of YoBaby.
