Having posed the Killers question, 'are we human or are we dancer?' and enjoyed the responses enormously, it then triggered a related train of thought. Driving to work this morning I found myself wondering how many song titles I could thing of that were questions? Despite thirty miles of gentle cerebral exercise my list is disappointingly small. I came up with:
Where were you hiding? The Alarm
Is this love? Whitesnake
What's love got to do with it? Tina Turner
Where is the love? Black eyed Peas
Friday brain stretch ................. add to the list
"Do you know where you're going to?" Diana Ross
can you feel the love tonight? Elton John
Do you really want to hurt me? Culture club
Is this the world we created? Queen
this is tough though!
aha, am addicted now....
who let the dogs out? Baha men

But I have noticed my natural tendancy is to write all my blog titles as questions. Always try to re-write them though to be more creative.
