Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Yeesh, no kidding. That should be its own Trivial Pursuit category. (Sorry, I'm geeking out because they're about to release the 25th anniversary edition. Even tho' no one plays with me anymore.)
