What song did you discover in a tv show or movie?
Sure, I'll pull the easy answer for this one. Hell, several times just this year I've mentioned Misirlou to somebody and when they gave me a blank look followed up with "the Pulp Fiction song" and they knew immediately what I meant.
Dare to Be Stupid
"Weird Al" Yankovic
Which artist were you a fan of first? Write the story of the song that made you a fan.
Easy one. Weird Al was the first artist I was really aware of as a kid. Every time Beat It came on the radio I'd ask "is this Beat It or Eat It" and was always disappointed when it was the Michael Jackson one. Then on their Nick Rocks: Video to Go show Nickelodeon would sometimes show the video for Dare to Be Stupid and I was like "this video is great, why don't they play it every day?" For years I only knew the Weird Al versions of most songs.

What is your favourite soundtrack?
Is there another that even comes close?
Sledgehammer
Peter Gabriel
Which artist did you discover thanks to a music video?
I never watched MTV growing up so I have a tiny sample size to pick from here. But I remember seeing the video for Sledgehammer on Nickelodeon's music video show as a kid and really enjoying it. I think this and the Ghostbusters theme were like the two top songs on Nick Rocks: Video to Go

Post one of your favorite ballads.
I'm not even really sure what qualifies as a ballad. So here's a slower song about an idealized childhood love.

I don't listen to a ton of sad songs so this was a tough topic.

A song that you like in multiple versions
I own both the Matthew Sweet/Susanna Hoffs and Harvey Danger covers of this. For years I had no idea that the Harvey Danger version wasn't the original.
