Jay777, thanks for that information.

And thanks to others who have posted on this thread thus far.

At least for me, song category threads are kinda like lighthearted games in which people are supposed to use their memory to come up with songs that fit that particular category. This is my approach to these kinds of threads, but that expectation or rule isn't written down anywhere.

But, given my expectation that people are supposed to dig into their memory bank for examples in that particular category which can be posted to that thread, to use the wonderful Digital Tradition list of songs, or to use an Internet search engine like Google to come up with an example, is like cheating.

However, like I said, I didn't state that rule from the onset of this thread or any other category thread that I've started. And I've never seen that rule or expectation stated anywhere. Therefore, if you and some other people prefer to use the DigiTrad, and/or a search engine, or any other resource to come up with examples to post in this category thread or any other category thread, then go for it!

Also, I appreciate you mentioning the DigiTrad because sometimes people-including me-forget to use that resource when we are thinking about a song and can't remember its words. There've been a number of times when I googled the song's lyrics and the first listing on Google is the Digitrad on Mudcat, or a Mudcat thread {which means that using the internal search engine is sometimes also helpful, particularly if you're aware that-because of the Mudcat engine crash in some month in 2005-the key words will only pull up threads before that month in 2005, and the message shown on that search listing may not correlate with the given thread.

But there is another reason why I start category threads-beside that challenge your mind reason. A lot of times when I start these threads I'm hoping to learn about songs-and children's playground rhymes within that stated category that I've never knew before. Furthermore, when I start a category thread, or read one that I didn't start, I anticipate that I'll learn something about about or related to those songs that I didn't know before.

In addition, I find category threads most interesting when the poster shares memories that he or she has associated with that song. That often makes the song more memorable for me, too.

For all of these reasons, I prefer it when posters don't list multiple examples of songs that fit the given category. That said, I know that everyone does not have to have the same expectations about [of?] these category threads that I do. Some people may like the challenge of listing a large number of song titles that fit that category. If so, who am I to spoil their fun? [That's a rhetorical question. I know I don't have the power to spoil someone else's fun, and if I did have that power, I wouldn't use it].

I'm sure there are at least 9 other things that I could say on this subject, but I'll stop right here.
