"WHY?"

"WHY?"

Why "WHY?"

Well, obviously because "WHY?" is the theme of the week March 19th to 25th of 2012), according to my Raresh... You don't want to know all the details ... so let's move on. 

Actually, that's a good one, my dear Ra.Challenge me into the depths of "WHY?", when I only asked you for a song ... and a very commercial one too. Yeah, yeah, yeah ...  I know you don't like it so that's "WHY?" you're getting back at me, huh?! 

PARENTHESIS: For all those interested in TRIVIA - the aforementioned song is .... drum roll ....

Grenade - Bruno Mars . I know, I know! It's commercial! Can't a girl have a little fun on a Monday?!
