“Sugar on My Tongue,” Talking Heads
“Where Do the Children Play?” Cat Stevens
“Piece of Work,” Jimmy Buffett with Toby Keith
“Creepin’ In,” Norah Jones with Dolly Parton
“Up the Junction,” Squeeze* (a happy little song about your life falling apart)
“Strapped for Cash,” Fountains of Wayne* (a happy little song about dodging a loan shark)
“Mountain Angel,” Dolly Parton (a sad Appalachian ballad about a woman gone ’round the bend)
“Footloose,” Kenny Loggins
“Everything About It is a Love Song,” Paul Simon
“Seven Bridges Road,” The Eagles
This is actually pretty representative of the general wackiness of my playlists.
* Double bill at the Greek Theater this past Monday (shoot, we could have gone! the kids have been at Camp Grandma all week!) – this will most likely be the concert I most regret missing this year.
