I assumed that since you quoted his post, you were replying to his post. How was I supposed to know you made an earlier reply to the same post, 2 pages back?

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
I was replying to his post. I heard that song at a hockey game and was my obsesive nature made me make another selection. 2 pages from now I may make another. Be warned.

Don't yell or hit.
"Dig if you will the picture of you and I engaged in a kiss." When Doves Cry became the first of Prince's five number-one hits – but the grammar is deplorable. It should say "the picture of you and me." (See also: "Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I" in the Doors' Touch Me.)

Stevie Wonder "I Just Called" #5
Billy Ocean "Caribbean Queen" #3

white: listed as 'earlier' or 'later'
green: my candidates
brown: missing from my list
