A classic of 90’s radio that I feel like has faded from mass culture (if not crowds like us who do thinks like this), But it’s still so catchy!
Sugar - “If I Can’t Change Your Mind”

Being chased down a busy street

There’s no way better way to say let’s kick things off in the language of this challenge than this nugget right here

Ac-cent-tchu-ate the negative!
#MayBeNot posting starts 10pm UK time, 30/4.
Songs just need the word 'not' in the title/lyrics, or a contraction - don't, aren't, etc.
Songs don't have to be negative themselves - one called "Isn't It Lovely To Cuddle Kittens And Listen To ABBA" would be fine :-)
We Could Send Letters
Let's use May to share musical negativity, but in a good way...
#MayBeNot
Like me, it's wide and simple - just post one song daily with title/lyrics including a not or contraction: isn't, won't, can't, doesn't, etc.
You probably have 60% of all known music to choose from :-)
