I Could Write a Whole Blog about SongPop, but...

I won't.  But I will say a few things:  

1) iTunes is making a killing off this game.  Some of my old favorite songs I forgot even existed after 1998.  Ah, it's nice to have you back The Presidents of the United States, because really... who doesn't want to "movin' to the country" and eat 'em a lot of peaches?  

2) It's easier to play on the computer than on the iPhone.  

3) I might prefer losing an eye to selecting the wrong answer accidentally - a theory which could only be confirmed or debunked by me actually losing said eye. 

4)  I hate that I have to check my times with my opponent's to make sure he/she doesn't think I was cheating just because I thought a little slower than I should.  I find a tenth of a second or so is the only acceptable lag time.  

5) Sometimes I cheat if I don't know the answer.  

6)  I hate when I cheat and it turns out that the other person didn't know the answer either - which I only know after selecting the answer he/she selected and it turns out we are both wrong.  Then it's obvious I cheated.  I mean, I would rather pick the wrong song completely and come out with my dignity than pick the other person's wrong song.  

7)  LOVE the "send challenge" button when I totally owned the last round.  HATE the "send challenge button" when I missed three out of five songs.  Then, it is officially no longer a "challenge" but rather an embarassment.  I think the button should then say, "send this embarassment" OR "let's burn this travesty and promise to never speak of it again".  

8) Go ahead and pick "Modern Rap" 14 year old who challenged me, because I'll "Alternative 90's" you back all.day.long.

Hmmm... now I'm not sure what the rest of this blog should be about.  Maybe I really did write a whole blog about SongPop.
