In case you were ever wondering, this series of 'Buzzfeed Classics' imagines what pop song books might look like. The funny series takes popular songs from yesterday and today and interprets them with how the might be sold in book form. This includes hot titles like Miley's 'Wrecking Ball,' which would have surely been a top-selling book last summer, as well as "vintage" edition books by Hanson and nostalgic S Club covers drawn in the style of Roald Dahl.
However, as easy as it would be to judge these books solely on their covers, Buzzfeed provides excerpts for the pop song books. Miley's tale would read something like: "I entered as a wrecking ball might, with abandon, intent on tearing the walls of your home as you did the walls of my heart."
