I've probably made a dozen mistakes, at least. I'll give y'all a couple of days to find them before I post the winners.

There's a winner for sheer numbers of songs gotten right (regardless of whether they were first). I wanted to make sure that latecomers got recognised. Thanks songdog for the idea.

There's also a winner for the person who got the most first right answers.


Prize? For those of you what wants them, a drabble (fandom/pairing of your choice, as long as I've heard enough of it to do it justice.)

For those of you what don't do fandoms/drabbles, name your prize, I'll consider it. (i.e. I'll clean your house if you pay my airfare)
