Dr. Dolittle 2 is, well, you know what it is: a fast, fat paycheck for star Eddie Murphy. The original 1998 film grossed $144 million by having Murphy play a doctor who talks to his critter patients, who squeak and squawk and fart prodigiously in return. This time Murphy is back with more alleged family fun, playing matchmaker for two bears, voiced by Steve Zahn and Lisa Kudrow, and trying to save their forest habitat. Kill me now!

    “The A Team”

    Ed Sheeran | 2011

    This debut track from the then-20-year-old British singer-songwriter has a dark story behind it. Sheeran says he culls songwriting inspiration from "viewing other people's situations," which, for the heroine in "The A Team," involves drug addiction and prostitution that began as a teen. Sheeran paints the woman's trials with haunting imagery such as "But lately her face seems/Slowly sinking, wasting/Crumbling like pastries." "I did a gig at a homeless shelter, [and the song] is about one of the women there. It's her story," he said.
