Using only song names from ONE ARTIST (your favorite if you can), cleverly answer these questions. You can't use the band/artist I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think! Re-post as "My Life According to "(artist/band name)".
For me, I guess I'll use the Monkees. (And trust me, these are all Monkees songs. Really. They did several albums in the late '70s that nobody's ever heard of -- I think I bought the only copies they ever sold...)

I would take it to mean for oneself, Av.
If you choose the same artist, I am sure there are bound to be repeats with another. But as long as you don't use the same song for more than one category, I think it's all good.

You're not supposed to use the same song more than once. And everybody's supposed to pick a different artist.
And: Yay! A Harry Chapin fan club, here on the Watch!
