When I die, I want to be cremated, as it is my last hope for a smoking hot body.

Eleanor Rigby - Vanilla Fudge I haven't heard this in years, and it just popped up on my 10,000 song digital walkman. The arrangement is way over the top, and whether you like the way they did it or not, you have to admire the arrangement and the work it took to put this one together.

I won't live long for living wrong, but I'll die happy - Jon Hendricks - I'll Die Happy When you plant my body beneath the sod, please don't take it too hard While I'm copping that eternal nod, I'll be the happiest cat in the graveyard - Jon Hendricks - I'll Die Happy

Gotta follow with this: Dazed And Confused - Led Zeppelin I wondered how the guitar got its sustain, until I saw them in concert and Jimmy pulled out the violin bow. It was a "WOW" moment for me.

I can't get well without muscatel, I only drink for medicinal purposes - Lambert Hendrix & Ross from "Gimme That Wine"

Short Fat Fanny - Larry Williams

On the other hand, I wouldn't doubt it at all.

The Murder - Bernard Herrmann (from the movie, Psycho)

I was tempted, but since Bruce wrote it, I figured I should give him credit. --- I need a little sugar in my bowl - Bessie Smith Well you know my letter's gone dead, and my pencil it won't write no more - Muddy Waters Well I'm a king bee baby, buzzing around your hive, yeah I can make honey baby, let me come inside - Slim Harpo

Can't resist the jazz standard: Killer Joe - Benny Golson Adding words later by Manhattan Transfer isn't bad

Following instructions

Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes - Springsteen

Sand On My Shoes - Kinks

I was wondering why the ball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.

So what if I don’t know what apocalypse means? It’s not the end of the world!

Monkey See, Monkey Do - Michael Franks We used to do this song when we were trying to be a jazz band. But in this area, we couldn't get enough jazz gigs to support ourselves, so we went to pop music, and haven't lacked for work since (except for the COVID pause).

I knew "Walk Don't Run" as a Johnny Smith song. A guitar playing friend had it on an LP. The Ventures covered a lot of others, I particularly used to like their take on "Lullaby Of The Leaves"

Son Of A Son Of A Sailor - Jimmy Buffett Here in South Florida, if you don't play a few Jimmy Buffett songs, someone in the audience will be disappointed. I sing this one but I changed the arrangement to have more of a Reggae feel.

A man sued an airline company after it lost his luggage. Sadly, he lost his case.

The Age of Innocence · Elmer Bernstein & Orchestra (triple word score -- but 3x0=0)

You've got the nicest North America, this sailor ever saw, I'd like to feel your warm Brazil and touch your, Panama. - Michael Franks (from Popsicle Toes). OK it's two lines, but it's perhaps the most clever lyrics to use geography to get your hands on sensual parts of a female's body. You can squeeze my lemon ’til the juice run down my leg - Robert Johnson I'm beggin' you baby, cut out that off the wall jive You gotta treat me better, or it gotta be your funeral and my trial - Sonny Boy Williamson II I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are, You make it hard - Crosby Stills & Nash (pretty sexy for its day) I'm glad I don't live in a trailer - Jimmy Buffett

"She's living in L A, with my best old ex-friend Ray" - Jim Croce "The senoritas don't care-o, when there's no dinero" - Zac Brown "If I Said You Have a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me" - Bellamy Brothers "The girl is your sister but your mama don't know" - Sir Lancelot

Shake - Otis Redding or the original: Shake - Sam Cooke
