I Don't Need a Game, I Need a Puzzle

    It's getting to that point of the year where I bring out my latest batch of themed music puzzles.  It started out with the rephrasing puzzles, where I redo a song title with different words and you guess the original title.  For example, "Your Physique Is Reminiscent of an Unpaved Rural Driving Surface" is a paraphrase of Sam Hunt's "Body Like a Back Road," which doesn't really seem like a complement when phrased like that.  I then ventured into emoji titles, where I replace the words in a title with emojis.  For instance,  "🇺🇸 🥧" could stand for "American Pie" by Don McLean. I then got into altered titles.  By switching out one letter for another, I make up an entirely new title. I give a synopsis of what the song would be with the new title, as well as the artist, and you guess the original.  For instance, if I gave "Nuns show off the latest in uniforms with bold colors and unusual designs, Ed Sheeran," your answer would be "Rad Habits," for "Bad Habits," with the "B" changed out for an "R." (I have also done a version of this puzzle involving either removing or adding a letter.  So far, I have only done this with television shows, not with song titles.)  Unfortunately, I am having even more problems coming up with these puzzles than normal.  There are an inordinate number of short song titles this year.  Only two of the top ten songs have titles with more than two words, and one of them is a parenthetical.  The number of repeat songs is very high this year because the charting period was reduced by a few weeks.  This also means that there are a few more Christmas songs than usual as well.  There are also a fairly high number of songs with titles in Spanish and/or intentional misspellings.  Those titles are automatically off limits for use.  This means I might have to go very deep into the Top 100 chart, and lower, just to come up with a good selection of titles to actually have good puzzles.  I expect to have something up soon, but it is going to take some work.  Maybe a lot of work.
