No clue about the theme here either, and there are some decent songs in there. But with the exception of Louie Louie, that set looks like a mid-80s classic-rock playlist. (OK, you can leave out the Green Day song, too, since it wasn't recorded yet, although she didn't get the name right either--it's called Good Riddance.)

I'm stumped too. The Green Day and Phil Collins songs were repopularized by TV shows and the Queen and Kingsmen songs were repopularized by movies (not that the Kingsmen needed it), but that doesn't help out on the rest AFAIK.

I just talked to Inessa about today's (thurs) set & also asked her about this. I think it's in fact a great theme, but by definition almost completely unguessable. The Top 10 Most Misunderstood songs.
I said that's a pretty cool theme, but it might just be more accurate to say that "Born In The USA" was a top 10 Misappropriated Song, everyone BUT Reagan knew what Bruce was singing about. She agreed in principle & clearly is no more fond of Ronnie than any of us.

That IS a great theme. REM could have several on the list, actually: Stipe has said that "Fall on Me" isn't about the arms race (everyone sure thought so) and that "Losing My Religion" isn't about seroconverting (which a lot of people also assumed).
"Two of Us" was misunderstood as ... what? being about John & Paul when it's really about John & Yoko? or vice-versa?
