I TOOK A POLL OF MYSELF

So because I listen to music so much, I decided that I needed to take a poll of all the music stations I listen to and determine how fast I can recognize a song and whether or not I can identify the title and artist of the song. I regularly listen to seven stations in my hometown. Three are country stations, two are mainstream rock and two are hit music stations. I surveyed myself ten times on all seven stations for a total of seventy songs. From that number I averaged 3.3 seconds to recognize the song. 77% of the time I was able to identify the title and artist of the song. I was very pleased with myself and my incredible knowledge!
And the incredible part? I took all my findings and put them into very sexy mathematical graphs! That's a pretty big accomplishment, considering how much I suck at math.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

Today I'm just going to write some random musings...
Would I rather have wings or a tail and super-great hearing and retractable claws? Well, apart from all of them, I guess I'd have to say wings because I'm a bird lover and great hearing so I could understand what that super cure love interest is saying without having to break the romantic atmosphere by blurting out, "WHAT!"
Would I rather date an Olympic-medal-winning athlete or a Grammy-winning singer? I'd have to say the latter because I'm really into music.
What five-song play list would brighten my day? Putting in the disclaimer that my favorite songs change from day to day, I would say Secrets by One Republic, I'm In by Keith Urban, Where The Streets Have No Name by U2, Free by The Zac Brown Band, and Haven't Met You Yet by Michael Buble.
