Bonus questions: Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire” is quoted twice (1, 22). Number 21 is a song by Blink 182 which is actually named “Emo”. There are 14 Springsteen songs, 4 Fall Out Boy songs, 3 Blink 182 songs, and 1 Something Corporate songs. That makes 14 Springsteen songs vs 8 Emo songs.

So, how well did you do? Was it harder than you thought it would be? Is this surprising to anybody? After all The Boss was always at his best when his music was full of anxiety and dejection, no?
