MLA or APA? (elements of style reviews)

If anyone is wondering why I didn't submit a song for this week's fight even though I posted lyrics (The Elements of Style - E Equals), it's because even though I knew the exact melody I wanted, I couldn't figure out how to play it to sound like I wanted it to in time. So, since I didn't submit a song (and didn't want to record an accapella or have a lot of parts without music), I am going to wait a while for a future Songfight and do a better version of my song later, with similar lyrics.

Surely citation is citation?

"Monkey Trial." American Experience. PBS. WGBH, Boston. 18 Mar. 2003.
APA television program citation:
Pratt, C. (Executive Producer). (2001, December 2). Face the nation
[Television broadcast]. Washington, DC: CBS News.
Or you could google it and find this: MLA vs APA Style: An Overview and this: MLA vs. APA -- Which do I use? which gives this:
Teachers of K-12 students typically prefer the MLA format because the MLA Handbook provides much more detail about citing books, anthologies, audiovisual material, and other sources like interviews, advertisements, and cartoons that a high school student would be more likely to use in a research paper. In contrast, the emphasis in the APA Publication Manual is on sources that students would typically only encounter in advanced research, such as technical reports, proceedings of meetings, and dissertations.

In the US, 'grade school' (sometimes 'elementary school,' sometimes 'primary school') usually refers to k-5 (sometimes k-6), while 6-8 (sometimes7-8) is usually middle school (sometimes 'jr. high') while 9-12 is high school.
K-12 basically just means kindergarten through 12th grade (the last year of high school). The schooling you get before your secondary(/trade/college/university) education.
Obviously the terminology varies across the country. Aside from K-12.

1) People google the song titles?j$ wrote:Could be something to do with thisMC Minimum wrote:PS: Why are there so many people who instantly thought of the book when they saw the title?
2) Why doesn't EB White get primary credit for the book? That's unfair.

I didn't google the song title as it was so obviously about fashion.
Sheesh.
Sheesh.
