We've got answers.

Lovely NJ radio station WFMU has posted some "answer songs" on its Web site to download free of charge. What's an answer song, you ask? It's an answer to a question song, of course. What's a question song? Well, it's a song that poses a question. Kind of. Kind of? Well, it's not necessarily a question, per se, but it presents an idea or situation open to a follow up. Um...wha? Fine. We'll use an example. For instance, WFMU presents the Fabulous Marcels' "I Put the Bomp" as an answer to Barry Mann's "Who Put the Bomp," and the Dukays' "Please Help" as an answer to the Tokens' "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." Do you get it now? Yes. Good. Enjoy.
