Comment:

A mix I put together for love_postal on LJ. The theme was 'Vocabulary Building'.

The directions stated: "Basically, you look for songs that cleverly and effectively use 'larger than your average word'... to make the theme more challenging the word has to be located within the body of the song and not in the title."

Most of the songs are classic rock or old celtic-type tunes, hence the name 'Maybe We Were Smarter Then'. The vocab word is listed after each song title.

Zounds! No one can inveigh this scholarly menagerie as feckless or dross. I applaud your sedulousness.
