First off, the dog pictures are EXQUISITE. Your clients are all Very Good Boys & Girls who are Very Important and I hope they are all living their best lives right now.

I just checked and it appears the only Rush tune with a title in the form of a question is "Where's My Thing?" (You knew I was gonna do a Rush song, of course! I have a brand to protect LOL)

Who Let The Dogs Out? has a frankly adorable Just Dance routine that my kids just loved when they were younger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVh-lNPd2eI&ab_channel=pitavalapita So whenever I hear this song, I think of my kiddos dancing about in the COVID era, and I smile

The first song that comes to mind is Do I Wanna Know? by the Arctic Monkeys.

The dogs pics are adorable. Great gig you found there, and like other subscribers said, keep walking!

My memory of this Baha Men track is, oddly enough, associated with my grandparents. They had cable TV (which I didn't), so I would visit them often, just so I could watch some MTV. At the time, all I wanted was to catch my favourite artists' new videos, but this song was inescapable. My grandparents were chuffed I visisted so often (bless them), and I did make a point of spending some time with them as well.

Thanks for sharing. Keep on walking! The first song that came to mind with a question for the title: “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me” by Culture Club.

Oh my god. Question songs: from 'Who's Zoomin' Who' (which begs so many questions) to 'Why Don't We Get Drunk' (which doesn't) - I love these on so many levels. But, as a Floyd fan, I'd have to say my favourite is 'Wots ... Uh the Deal?' (Obscured by Clouds). A gorgeous song.

For some reason, I woke up this morning, went to tell my wife that I have to get up to pee and as soon as the word “I” came out, my brain started singing “I’ve got a feeling / that tonight’s gonna be a good night…” I haven’t heard Black Eyed Peas song in maybe a decade? I have no idea where it came from 🤷🏻‍♂️

2. I never did even think about who let the dogs out! Now I'm wondering...

3. No specific memories of the song but one of the newscasters on WGN-TV here in Chicago hates the song yet every time they do a story about dogs the song gets played!

A few things here, Steve ...

1) You're killing me with these earworms. "Who Let the Dogs Out?" I honestly believe that track -- along with my early life habit of wearing headphones and turning the volume to 11 -- is the reason for my hearing loss today.

2) Songs that ask a question ... so many. "What Difference Does It Make" (The Smiths), "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" (The Clash), "How Deep is the Ocean?" (Irving Berlin), "What is This Thing Called Love?" (Cole Porter), "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" (The Shirelles), "Where Did Our Love Go?" (The Supremes).

But the best: "What's Goin' On?" (Marvin Gaye), "Wouldn't It Be Nice?" (Beach Boys), "Who Are You?" (The Who), "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" (Elvis), "Do You Believe in Magic?" (Lovin' Spoonful).

The first two are among my favorite songs ever.

3) First, Bernie looks like a really cool dog. Second, my brother-in-law is a dog-walker. Don't know the name of his affiliation, but he does it a couple of times a week. It's really a good thing for him.

Great read, Steve. Really enjoyed it (except for the cruel reminder of that song ... please don't revisit "Hey, Macarena." That earworm would destroy my brain).

Great post! So far, the earworm I woke up with is not ceding its ground to your dogs.

The first question title that came to my mind is "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?".
