Because they had to elongate the song titles that much more [:D] It's actually a bit of a nice surprise. You think you've read the entire title and then - WHOA! - there's more! What about a title that [i]begins[/i] with parentheses? Mmmmm.....it's like a preamble or something, psyching up the reader for some kind of denouement [:D]
Freemason (You Broke The Promise), Boxcar
You Spin Me Round (Like A Recod), Dead Or Alive
Wishing (If I Had A Photograph of You), A Flock of Seagulls
Lean On me (Ah-Li-Ayo), Red Box
I Ran (So far Away), A Flock of Seagulls
Driving Away From Home (Jim's Tune), It's Immaterial
The Different Story (World Of Lust & Crime), Peter Schilling
(Get A) Grip (On Yourself), The Stranglers
(I Just Can't) Forgive And Forget, Blue Zoo

The first thing that came to mind was these R.E.M. songs:
(Don't go Back to) Rockville
It's the End of the World as we Know it (and I Feel Fine)
Carnival of Sorts (Boxcars)
and
Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget about me)

I actually wrote a song specifically so I could have not only parenthases but brackets as well:
Ain't Got Time (For Your Bullsh*t [Baby])
No one really got the humor in that aside from myself.

So what you're saying is you want to take the value of the Baby element of the t array, multiply it by "For Your Bullsh", and then run the Ain't Got Time function with that product as its parameter.
Do I win?
