Band | Song Title | Comments & Submittor Name | ||
| Muse | Bliss | The lyric is "Give me all the peace and joy in your mind, I want the peace and joy in your mind, give me the peace and joy in your mind" Why the title isn't "Peace" instead of "Bliss"? - Nurul | ||
| Muse | Uno | I thought it was a song with Spanish language, but it's not. The lyric is "You could've been number one". Why the title isn't "One" instead of "Uno" if it doesn't contain any word in Spanish language? - Nurul | ||
