As XM subscribers, we have a standing question:

“So, do you know who this is?”

This question posed, because the display will always tell you the artist and song title. One thing I have learned is that I did not marry my husband because of his catalog of musical knowledge. About the only songs he can identify are The Carpenters, The Ramones, Earth Wind & Fire (and that is only since he somewhat recently came to this realization), a couple of hair bands and a handful of miscellaneous obscure 80’s groups. And I mean, really obscure.

I think the only time he out-challenged me was when he was able to identify a Fountains of Wayne song, when I had never even heard of them. I’m not sure, but I still think he may have cheated.

Today, after yet another defeat in the guess this song/artist challenge, I was presented with the following logic:

“Um, Natalie. I am not a lyricist, I am a composer.”
