Shopping
My Life (past tense) - "Yesterday" - The Beatles; Stuck in a Moment - U2
Food

Fashion: "I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt" - Right Said Fred
Jobs
Relationships: "Let Your Love Flow" - The Bellamy Brothers; "What I Did For Love" - Chorus Line; "Love Hurts" - Nazareth
Money
Medicine
School: "Smokin' In the Boys Room" - Motley Crue
Sports: "Remember the Name" - Fort Minor; "Kick, Push" - Lupe Fiasco
Past Times
Body
The Future

Housework/Chores
Movies/TV
Memories
Winter: "California Dreamin'" - The Mamas & The Papas

Also, could I get one of you to come by and clean out my refridgerator? It's a little stinky and could use a good scrubbing.

Thanks for the help guys.

I also thought of some others for anyone who cares to use them for their classes.

Fashion: "I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt" - Right Said Fred
Winter: "California Dreamin'" - The Mamas & The Papas

"Yesterday" is cool. I also thought of "Smokin' in the Boys Room" - Motley Crue for the school topic.
