Wash ,'War Stories'
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'm trying to figure out how she got to be a fan of Davey, Dozy, Beaky.
Ditto. Mid-'60s British pop band doesn't seem to fit the rest. They're worth checking out, but I can't think of any of their songs that would be appropriate for your purpose.
Oasis -- maybe "Don't Look Back in Anger." "Wonderwall" can be quite comforting but is from the point of view of the comforter, so I'm not sure it would fit.

I'm assuming she saw Death Proof.
The Breeders have a new album “Mountain Battles” coming out in the US on April 8th. To celebrate it’s release they had a Record Release Party where they played the entire album off of a vinyl test pressing at a V.F.W. in my hometown of Dayton, OH.
I listened to the first song - it's awesome! (Link goes to video of the party, with the album playing....)
Thanks for the link!
I can't watch the video now - what's the title of the song?
So, I'm putting the final touches on my April Showers mix, and I was excited to find The Best of Burt Bacharach at the library, so I could get "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head". I get home, pop in the CD, and... it's all instrumental. This is marked nowhere. I know he's the composer part of the team, but really, who wants "Alfie" or "What the World Needs Now is Love" as an instrumental?
ETA: Oh god, it's worse than I thought, a couple of songs do have words, but they are sung by a chorus of women using a lot of ooh ooh oohs.

Among the lounge collecting crowd these are called "abstract vocals" which are parsed for signature vocalizations from "Zuu zuu zuu" for Esquivel to the Beach Boy-esque "Ba ba baaa."
They're really best on science fiction themes (see: "Star Trek") evoking a sense of soaring and limitless wonder. Or possibly tiresome muzak.
There are collections of Bacharach available with the original hitmaking singers, btw.
I'm going to put these in the tiresome muzak category.

I'm sure there are, just not at my local library. But they made up for it by having the Mighty Wind soundtrack.
Yes it’s blowin’ peace and freedom, it’s blowin’ you and me…

Wow. Chris Cornell will include Israel as a part of a summer tour, as well as Dinosour Jr, Ian Brown, Bjork, and after Joe Jackson and Marianne Faithfull were here last month. And we're still in March, so I'm sure there will be others.
Which means only one thing. There will be war, just like every other time big list of names say they'll come, leaving only a big pile of cancellations.
(But wow, Cornell. Even though I'll probably won't go to that show, I'm still very excited!).
