Wrongest possible combination imaginable? (though never done)
How about Slayer doing "Sugar Sugar"? Or NSYNC scatting their way through "A Love Supreme"?
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!
'War Stories'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

After catching up this morning, all I have been able to think about is my top five summer albums. So, here goes:
Neil Young, After the Gold Rush
It's a short album and not my favorite Young, but it screams summer to me. Especially "Southern Man" and "Cripple Creek Ferry." It also makes me think of drinking lots of beer at the lake - but so do all the albums on this list.
Jayhawks, Hollywood Town Hall
I can think of some Jayhawk bootlegs I might throw in rather than this - but this is still a great summer album beginning to end. Kinda sad, though. It's more a driving back from the lake with no A/C and the windows open rather than a at-the-lake album.
Grateful Dead Europe 72
I can't even listen to this album (2 disc set really) if it isn't at least 85 degrees out and I don't have a camping trip planned. It *is* summer. "He's Gone," "Jack Straw," "China Cat ->Rider," and "Sugar Magnolia" especially.
Built to Spill There's Nothing Wrong with Love
Aaah. Just like in that list upthread. "Big Dipper" into "Car" makes me just about weep with the summer-ness of it all.
Just one more? Eeek!
Tribe Called Quest People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
Because it is just so fun. You can't help but stir out of your hot-and-humid stupor when the frogs start chirping in "After Hours".
Honorable mention: Calexico, Hot Rail (I'm so glad I got this as my first album of theirs and that hayden put them on that mix and that I listened to people raving about them here - essential summertime music), any Gillian Welch or Split Lip and Exile on Main Street oh! and Steel Pulse for the essential-but-not-Marley summer reggae.
Also I have been on a giant Jesus and Mary Chain kick lately, especially Darklands. Not really summer-y but still loving it.
Finally, joe - the newsradio summer listening recs? Your brain scares me in a "how do you fit it all in there" kinda way.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I played "Letter from an Occupant" by the New Pornographers last week, and a friend of mine called to say that they sounded just like Abba. I found it hard to disagree.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Wrongest possible combination imaginable? (though never done) I'm thinking that Most Wrong would be Abba covering "Strange Fruit."
Barry Manilow. "Rock 'n' Roll All Nite."

John Ashcroft singing "Down from Dover"?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My favorite necrophilia song is Robyn Hitchcock's "My Wife and My Dead Wife."
I'll vote for "Dig It Up" by Hoodoo Gurus.
"You can't bury love / ya gotta dig it up / ya gotta live it up."

John Ashcroft singing, period. (Although, now that I think about it, I'd almost enjoy hearing him tackle "Stagger Lee.")

Ann, that's a ferret.
John Ashcroft singing "Down from Dover"?
There's even worse (ETA: for Ashcroft to cover). But other than saying it's a disco song by a singer not known primarily for disco, I'll spare the sensibilities of the board.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We are talking about necrophilia and John Ashcroft at the same time. Coincedence? I think not.

Now I can't get the clip from Fahrenheit 9/11 of him singing that Eagles Soar song out of my mind. Oh God, get it out!!
