2013 Program Songs Trivia

For next week (and, just in general) I wanted to put together a list of trivia questions for this year's program songs.  Many are taken from the Children's Songbook Companion.  Please feel free to add more in the comments and I will try to incorporate them here.

Obviously, the choice songs our Presidency picked might not line up with yours, but hopefully the others will be helpful.
