As part of an occasional series, The News ambushed unsuspecting students and demanded they justify the songs that played when their iPods were put on shuffle, however embarrassing.
Here are the results.
Emily Fisler

“Symphony No. 3” by Ludwig Van Beethoven
“This is a good song to study to. I don’t like to study to songs with words in them because I always end up singing along.”
“Boom Boom Pow” by the Black Eyed Peas
“I think I know every word. It’s sad.”
“Rake” by Plastiscines
“I like their music a lot. The sound is like rock/pop/upbeat – good to walk or run to.”
“All You Need is Love” by The Beatles
“I’m a huge Beatles fan, so that goes without saying.
“Desperately Wanting” by Better Than Ezra
“This song has good lyrics and a good melody.”
