This tollbooth has taken it's toll on me...</li><br /><li>3: "[Shivering]" - A gerund version of the song.</li><br /><li>4: "She Will be [liked, but we're not quite there in our relationship]" - More realistic for her.</li><br /><li>5: "[Not-Tangled]" - If we're going with opposites, that's exactly right.</li><br /><li>6: "The [Son]" - Oh-HO! You see what I did there?</li><br /><li>7: "Must Get [Honeycomb]" - Remember those commercials with that little demon?</li><br /><li>8: "Sunday [Mourning]" - YES! Please see the explanation for number 6.</li><br /><li>9: "[Seacrest]" - Ryan Seacrest should have a song devoted to him.</li><br /><li>10: "[Threw] With You" - I am on such a mother f'ing roll.
