I just sent "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" to buffistarawk. There may be other bridges I like more, but I can't think of one with a greater disparity between my affection for the bridge and my somewhat neutral feeling toward the rest of the song. And there's some bonus trivia with the email which should be of special interest to the New Yorkers and engineering fans in the crowd.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
msbelle is crazy busy at work and cannot take part. She regrets this and will bribe participants for burns of said mixes or just mixes of stuff she'd like. She also regrets that she has not sent the Corwood family a copy of the Jesse Isaac show - technical difficulties, but is seeking help.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Is there any room for one more person? (that would be me, if there is)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
A bridge should only appear once during a song. I get annoyed when one is repeated before the song's end.

Tonight a friend I was drinking with came up with
the song that you would sing to yourself if you were ever in a dire situation and needed it to keep going
And also from my night -
A song that even when you know it's time to LEAVE the BAR someone can put on the jukebox to make you stay
(tonight's was "Can't Hardly Wait" - I mean - how are you going to leave while that is playing?)
Pick well, Corwood!!

A song about not admitting a drinking problem to oneself... Just kidding.:-)
Per Misha's suggestion of a non-Buffy Buffy song, I've always thought of "Can't We Be Friends" (Sinatra, In the Wee Small Hours) as the Ballad of Xander and Buffy: "I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams/now it seems,/this is how the story ends:/She's gonna turn me down and say,/ 'Can't we be friends?'"
