"She's Gone" by Daryl Hall & John Oates

Here's another song that I can't believe I haven't posted before now.  I always associate this song with my trip to St. Paul, Minnesota, I'm not sure why.  Maybe I first heard it there or maybe it was just around that same time.

"Words Written Backwards" by Single Gun Theory

It's hard to believe that I haven't posted this song until now.  How could I have forgotten this one?

"It's All About The Pentiums" by "Weird Al" Yankovic

Might as well have some more wackyness!  I think this parody was sheer genius, I just love it.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpMvS1Q1sos


I debated whether to post this as a favorite, but I've decided to just have it be a bonus song.  I think it's hilarious.

"Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" by Rolf Harris

Since I included Rolf Harris' version of "Stairway to Heaven" in yesterday's post, I decided to post his big hit today.

YouTube (45): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4gru7Ial3k

Bonus Track: I always thought the B-side to "Tie Me Kangaroo Down" was a fun song too, so I'm going to include it here today too.

Oh, what the hell, what about another fun Rolf Harris song:

"Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin

Happy birthday to Chad.  Led Zeppelin always reminds me of Chad.  I've debated whether this song was too overplayed to be on my favorites list, but I've decided I still love hearing it.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHFxncb1gRY

Bonus Track: I was digging through the Cut Out Bin many years ago and found this very funny CD called Stairways to Heaven that had different versions of Stairway to Heaven done in various styles.  I thought the one by Rolf Harris was the most fun.

"Doctorin' The Tardis" by The Timelords (The KLF)

This is one of those songs that has such great lyrics.  And I notice it has a Reel-to-Reel recorder like yesterdays song, funny!  The video is cool too.

"Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes" by Jimmy Buffett

So many great lines in this song:

"All of the faces and all of the places, Wonderin' where they all disappeared"
"Good times and riches and son-of-a-bitches, I've seen more than I can recall"
"Reading departure signs in some big airport, reminds me of the places I've been"

And most importantly:

"If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane"
