Boston and meme

Boston is like a toy city. Like Disneyworld with fewer kids and more Red Sox fans. A lot of Red Sox fans. I've never been crammed into a subway like I was just now on the T. Apparently, there's a minor league game going on now. And that was worth them all donning red and going out in droves. When we reached Kenmore, suddenly there was me and like three people still on the train.
It's like a toy city because the T is more like tram or a monorail, which is cutesy. The platform is level with the bottom of the stairs to get up to the cars, too, which is cute. But most toy-ish of all, are the signs. They're written in comic lettering--as in the lettering style you associate with comic books. It makes getting to the EXIT so much more thrilling (seeming).
Here's a meme!
Make your own movie soundtrack!

2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question type the song that's playing.
