Where the hell is Stairway to Heaven???? i would think that'd be the first one on your list.

[ericcoleman]

That's the pre-show music - preferably the B-52s version

I don't know most of the songs on that list, so perhaps I'm not one to comment. Still, I would have pegged you with either Allan Sherman ("One Hippopotami") or Leonard Cohen ("Everybody Knows") or even The Roches ("Mr. Sellack").

Aside: I never tracked down the actual references, but I always thought that "The Philosopher's Song" was from Oxford and MP slipped an old college drinking song into their sketch. I could be wrong, or not Bruce.

That was me (as you know from my vain attempt to fix things).

and I responded ...

[ericcoleman]

It does sound a lot like other Eric Idle songs

and I have thought of doing Everybody Knows as an uptempo hillbilly song ... maybe someday

[(Anonymous)]

Well, everyone credits Idle, so I will too. I know they drew on their Oxford days. (Hasty Pudding? No, that's Harvard...)

I've always felt that you would do a good job smushing together "Harper Valley PTA" and "Mississippi Squirrel Revival". Dunno what that would wind up being. I'll wait.

Sheesh

Sheesh.

I'm surprised at the lack of Tonio K.

I can honestly say that I have more fun with H-A-T-R-E-D than any other song by any other artist.

[ericcoleman]

I've been wanting to do Say Goodbye and Sons Of The Revolution, but I am terrible about working out other people's songs ... I have to be able to find tab out on the net and there just isn't any Tonio out there that I have been able to find.

[ericcoleman]

Oh ... and Impressed, which I am pretty sure is just two chords ... but I can't work out which

[wormquartet.livejournal.com]

No Ratt?

Sellout.
