My question was, who decided to use the image with the article? I still think it's you. No one else has stepped up to take credit. @lee: I remember when Obama did it during the campaign.

This isn't necessarily easy for <em>everyone</em>, but the target audience -- those listening to the song -- have already complied.

(Is the singer a man or a woman? Do you remember the song's genre, or at least the general mood?) I'm guessing your googling would have already turned up Bobby Byrd's "Keep on Doing What You're Doing," but that's no reason not to post a <a>link</a> to it, since it's an awesome song even if it's not what you're looking for.

That's easy: "Get Out of My Dreams, Get Into My Car." It takes a special man to have a #1 hit song that combines some of the creepiest and brashest demands of stalkers and child molesters. That special man is Billy Ocean. And his song is awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d0rDz3PKX0 @Wrather
