Nobody's mentioned the one with the chorus "I spent my last ten bucks on birth control and beer/Life was so much better when I was sober and queer."
That would be titled: "I Spent My Last $10 On Birth Control And Beer."
Ah. My favorite Two Nice Girls song....
I heard the Worst. Jazz. Cover. Ever. Today. A smooth jazz version of "Dance me till the end of love".
Two Nice Girls (on that same EP) do a fantastic potmanteau cover of "I Feel (Like Making) Love" combining Donna Summer and Bad Company into one sexy, sizzling bluegrass breakdown.
I guess Pass The Courvoisier wouldn't really fit in with most of the rest of these songs, eh?
If we head into rap/hip hop, there are many more songs, like Gin and Juice!
Jesse, I was *just* about to mention Pass the Courvoisier!
I'm making a mix cd to send to Tim in Iraq. Problem is, I'm not sure of his taste in music. Also, I didn't want anything to be too much of a downer. So I tried to go with a good mix and some fun things. Here's what I came up with:
America- Simon & Garfunkel
Dammit- Blink 182
Chariot- Gavin DeGraw
Yo Vanilla- Vanilla Ice (Very fun two second intro I end up using on everyone once)
Afternoon Delight- Will Ferrell
Build Me Up Buttercup- The Foundations
Light & Day/Reach for the Sun- Polyphonic Spree
I Believe in A Thing Called Love- The Darkness
Flowers in the Window- Travis
Hungry Like the Wolf- Reel Big Fish
Penny Lane- The Beatles
If You Leave- OMD (Inside joke. He used to wait on Andrew McCarthy at the restaurant he worked at in college.)
July, July!- The Decemberists
Solsbury Hill- Peter Gabriel
The Way You Move- Outkast
Try a Little Tenderness- The Commitments
What I Got (Reprise)- Sublime
When I Come Around- Green Day
Collide- Howie Day
Tessie- Dropkick Murphys
I know it's a little incongruous, but that's the way (uh huh uh huh)I like it (uh huh uh huh). It's been a while since I've put together a good mix cd for someone. I rather missed it.
I'm not averse to rap being on the playlist, but it has to be something that people could sing along with. Gin and Juice would qualify, early Beastie Boys, Sir-Mix-Alot.
I have a version of Gin and Juice, but it's silly hard rock, and I heard a kind of girlie version by, I think, Sissy Bar.

That cover rocks. So funny.
