John Denver's Ballad of Spiro Agnew should have been up there.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

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.

If skills sold, truth be told, I'd probably be

Anything by Brecht
With the exception of Dirty Song:
If a woman's hips are ample
Then I want her in the hay
Skirt and stockings all a-rumple
(Cheerfully) - for that's my way
If the woman bites in pleasure
Then I wipe it clean with hay
My mouth and her lap together
(Thoroughly) - for that's my way
If the woman goes on loving
When I feel too tired to play
I smile and go off waving
(Amiably) - for that's my way

That's the kind of evil laughter I can support.

In that genre alone, I'd be tempted to play the Descendents, Undertones or Buzzcocks first. However, none of them are in the book.
Still, "You Drive Me Ape You Big Gorilla" is well worth airplay.

Hec, Amazon has something about Jan 30, 2005 on your book. Has the release date been pushed back?
