38. Public Enemy- Meet the G that Killed Me

ancient texts, things that can't be pre-dated (President Keyes), Thursday, 5 February 2015 02:18 (eleven years ago)

the "said only once" bit makes this a challenge !

Indeed. It is hard to retrieve such songs from brain even if one had once upon a time already remarked that they had this property, especially if that happened before this thread or even ILX existed. For example, in theory I could have gone to sleep, woken up and my subconscious would have supplied #38, but I highly doubt it.

arrgh, I forgot that they start the song with 12XU as well as finish it with 12XU!!! I'd say don't count it then.

I did write it. It's called "The Overload--Exploring Songs Where the Title Is Sung Once, As The Last Line of the Song"

The Professor gave me a C, he said it was a flawed concept. Oh well.
