Last month's Giant magazine had a short blurb about songs with parenthetical titles. It got me thinking about my CD collection and some of my favorite artists and songs. I found 17 songs in my collection with parenthetical song titles. Why do I care? Why should you care? Why didn't the artist stick with a shorter name? I world may never know.
