Tell me how to underline songs or quotes or whatever you do to the words Will I, and RENT. Please.
I woke up to the sound of my cell going off next to me. It had the song Will I from RENT blaring. No wonder I always "forgot" my phone. If anyone heard that they may think I'm odd.

Underline titles, use quotes for expressions.

Just so you know the rule of thumb:
The titles of pieces that are generally part of larger works go in quotes. So a short story, a poem, or a song goes in quotation marks. The title of a larger work, such as a book of stories, a play/musical, a novel, or a record album, goes in italics. Underlining is for a situation where you want to show that something should be italicized, but you can't produce italics, such as when you are writing on a typewriter or by hand.

"Will I", a song title, needs to be in quotes. RENT, a title of a musical/drama, needs to be either italicized or underlined. I don't think there's any need to put "forgot" in quotes unless you specifically want to emphasize that word (as in to suggest that you didn't really forget your phone).

Good answers. Just an observation: when you are saying "if I was..." you are expressing a wish, which means you must put the verb in the subjunctive form. It must read, "if I were...". Any time there is a wish, use "were." Also, is the song "Will I" not, actually, "Will I?" One other thing--"quotes" is a verb (there are exceptions). You are asking about "quotations," which are nouns.
