The 11 Hit Songs That Reference Literature: You don't mention Don't Stand So Close To Me by The Police?
So yeah, I'm scrolling through the hit songs list thinking they're saving Led Zeppelin for #1 because you know, Ramble On, and Misty Mountain Hop, and The Battle for Evermore, and Over the Hills and Far Away. All of these during a time when LOTR was mostly unknown. Not even a mention? So I guess LOTR is not a great work of literature, or none of the above qualify as 'hit songs'. Well, I've not heard most of the 'hit songs' on the list and I've yet to hear any Taylor Swift song (if I have, I didn't recognize it).
So not Mental Floss worthy.

Happy President's Day everybody!

Nice try but you can't celebrate President's Day without wall-to-wall new car sales.
The dog swim from NY to Edgewater, NJ, confused me. I was thinking of Edgewater Park, NJ, across the Delaware River in Burlington County, NJ.
