Bietz posted these questions on his site. I shall answer them here:
1. Your favorite song with the name of a city in the title or text.
Walking in Memphis by Marc Cohn
2. A song you’ve listened to repeatedly when you were depressed at some point in your life.

Album: Best of Mountain. Song: Mississippi Queen
4. A song whose lyrics you thought you knew in the past, but about which you later learned you were incorrect.
Papa Was a Rodeo by The Magnetic Fields (big suprise actually)
5. Your least favorite song on one of your favorite albums of all time.

6. A song you like by someone you find physically unattractive or otherwise repellent.
