Is it because they’re always songs that the artist is so excited about they keep adding to the name? Like, they just can’t help themselves…

Tell you what, it’s hard to search your Winamp library for ‘(’, because all the songs with ‘(remix)’ or ‘(demo)’ show up!!

Oh yeah, and Deftones, Change (In the House of Flies), Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away), My Own Summer (Shove It) and of course Back to School (Mini Maggit) - they had a bit of a phase there
