looney tunes* 

I do not play any musical instrument. But I love music. All sorts, anything except house and perhaps, jazz. I love folk and alternative, especially British. I draw lots of ideas from songs, especially those with wacky lyrics. I have lots of memories with different types of songs. Different tunes to fit different sets of mood...

Inspired by Nick Hornby's book '31 Songs', I'd like to dispense my own list. But what I will not do is to go in detail on each song. I do encourage you to have a listen to the songs, befitting whichever category that suits your eardrums.

Here goes...
