→Matching Questions And Songs
There's also much confusion as to how, specifically, one should match a song. Generally, a hint contained in the title is pretty safe. I would STRONGLY advise against using a song because a lyric in the song that is NOT the title contains a clue, UNLESS the lyric is repeated frequently enough that someone listening would associate the oft-repeated line with the hint that you are trying to convey . For example, if I had a question for which the answer was "a cobra", I would NOT use, say, "The End" by The Doors on the basis of the lyric "ride the snake", even though it is repeated once. ("Crawling King
Snake", al so also by The Doors, would be fine if you really wanted to use The Doors). By the same token, it is also inadvisable to make a "double jump" in logic - I would certainly NOT use yet another Doors song for the same snake question on the basis that "Jim Morrison was into snakes, so "L.A. Woman" is a good clue".
It's okay for your clue to not be blindingly obvious, especially for one-word answers. In most instances, it's no fun to be handed the answer. Often a song that has a clue that requires a bit of thinking is your best bet:
Matchfully yours,
