Specifically because of number 13 and number 17. I've even asked on DU a few times in the past. I know I have it on a floppy disk (it's more than 20 years old) but I've got about a thousand of those (if not more). This is THE ORIGINAL LIST!

You made my day.

I've done 16 and 35, as well as serenade someone(my niece) with the Ukulele, playing "Sweet Pea" which is a short enough song.
