You have four of the five. Shall I tell you which one is wrong, or let you figure it out?

OK, there are five songs tied for the shortest title to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. What are they? Shortest in terms of letters, not playing time.

Motown is the greatest era of popular music. Well, maybe. It's pretty damn good, at least. Though you did, criminally, leave out Stevie Wonder, the greatest non-Beatle ever made.

Adrian Belew.

"Fawn" by Tom Waits (from "Alice") "Last Dance" by Sarah McLachlan (from "Surfacing") - the saw is a really underrated, beautiful "instrument" Mahler's eighth symphony, 2nd movement Most Jon Brion scores

Sir Paul.

Your welcome; sorry we can't figure it out. I didn't sleep last night, so this has to be figured out.

Razorlight - To The Sea Or maybe this one? Teitur - You're The Ocean There's too much sky, not enough blue There's too many questions to why I love you There's too many clouds, not enough sun The rain must fall on everyone I'm fire-you're the ocean I'm energy-you're the rhythm Love is somewhere in between What you believe and what you dream I'm just trying to make you mine You're the ocean There's too much doubt and not enough dare There's too much decision everywhere There's too much decision everywhere There's too much talk and not enough time Let's close our eyes and not our minds I'm fire-you're the ocean I'm energy-you're the rhythm Love is somewhere in between What you believe and what you dream I'm just trying to make you mine You look for leads, I follow clues You love to win, I dare to lose Mostly you're a mind game in my head You are earth, I am water I can give you what you're after You can be the word:I can be the rhyme: There's really nothing you can do You're going where I'm going too Stay beside me, stay beside me I want you I'm fire-you're the ocean I'm energy-you're the rhythm Love is somewhere in between What you believe and what you dream I'm just trying to make you mine You're the ocean

Is that is in "First I'd like to butter your muffin" Chet, or Atkins? Thanks either way! Wait, were you even talking to me?

John Denver - "Rocky Mountain High" The Beatles - "A Day In The Life" Rod Stewart - "Tonight's The Night" Nothing to do with the charts.

1. I really don't want to know what you mean by that. 2. Pot, meet kettle. you're black. 3. No, you don't. 4. Not like in a corpse kind of way. 5. It was probably the same people that were at the one I went to (in 1987, when the bands were actually cool), but the mullets had been transformed from rat-tails. Sammy probably realizes that the crime was punishment enough.

OK, last try and then I quit: Modest Mouse - Ocean Breathes Salty Fastball - You're An Ocean

OK, but I'm feeling off my game. Asterisked ones, in sequence. 1. And you still went to another one after that? 2. Is your name "Ricky Stratton"? 3. That is most troubling. 4. Surely there was some disturbing nookie after that. 5. Nice bookend. Die. I saw Elton John, too. I'd love to see Prince, Ella and Ray. But at least 2 of those ain't gonna happen. And please tell me that Public Enemy and Phil Collins were the same show.

Once again, Nicky Hopkins.

I bet it's the one Jenny mentioned above, the Toad The Wet Sprocket song. I believe the video was similar to your description. There's a prominent accordion, if that helps. We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail Where are we going, so far away And somebody told me that this is the place Where everything's better, everything's safe Walk on the ocean Step on the stones Flesh becomes water Wood becomes bone And half and hour later we packed up our things We said we'd send letters and all those little things And they knew we were lying but they smiled just the same It seemed they'd already forgotten we'd came Now we're back at the homestead Where the air makes you choke And people don't know you And trust is a joke We don't even have pictures Just memories to hold That grow sweeter each season As we slowly grow old

Here are a few choices: Brand New - Play Crack The Sky Ocean Colour Scene - Third Shade Of Green I was thinking Aqualung's "Brighter Than Sunshine", but the singer is a pianist, and I think they're only a two-piece band. Great song, though.

Ah, the cowbell sketch. A really dumb idea has never been turned into something as brilliant. Really, what's the impetus for such a sketch? "Hey, let's put Will in a small, fuzzy shirt and give him a cowbell." He's the only person that could've made that funny. But I think that goes for most of his bits, like the "get off the shed" thing, the cat toy company and the various times he wore thongs.

Yes, Laurie, it actually does. Minutely.

Speaking of continental, I really like Christopher Walken.

Really, how punk is banging Hilary Duff? And how punk is the name "Benji"?

Oh, there's a great chance for sucking. Remember, you guys have only heard a handful of songs, and inevitably something will let you down. In the meantime, listen to some Good Charlotte to effectively lower your standards.

I'm trying to get to it...I'll make sure and let you guys hear it, whenever the hell I get time to finish it. Let's not have too much buildup, though, since it may very well suck...

I'll pass. OK, the first concert I ever went to was the "Monsters Of Rock" tour - Van Halen, Metallica, Scorpions, Dokken, Kingdom Come. I followed that with Bon Jovi/Skid Row and Poison/Lita Ford/Britny Fox. Now nobody will respect me...I was 13, and there were lots of boobies to be seen. Good excuse?

I noticed that, and no matter how much I tried to explain it to Peaches, she just couldn't get it. :happybanana:

Thanks a lot, Peaches and Jenny, for the kind words. And thanks, Levis, for the immense pressure... That particular line is my least favorite. It's just a throwaway to put some syllables to a melody. Suppose I better keep it now, eh?
