Starting today, we will be keeping score of the daily name that tune text message contest.
The current participants are:
Kristi
Jen
Pam
Mike
Kennie

Scoring will be
1 point for getting the title correct
1 point for getting the artist correct

At my discretion I can award 1/2 point for closeness. For example if the song is "American Pie" I can award 1/2 point for "Miss American Pie" or "Bye Bye Miss American Pie"

All answers must be supplied before the next NTT is sent out.
