OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Anyway, I did say "wait for it." I regret that I can't find my favorite version of "Blinded by the Light," in which he breaks a string and weirdly has to tell the band to freaking vamp, so this curious acoustic version (the video is awful, and the sound is mediocre) will have to suffice.

The version of Kenneth Anger's Rabbit's Moon with It Came in the Night by "A Raincoat."

Might as well do the Liz Phair, since I can't sleep. Or eat, because it would wake up my imaginary ex.

The Tra La La Song. I'll get to the other ones later.

I had no idea that the Baretta theme was performed by Sammy Davis, Jr. My imaginary ex's cat is neurotically grooming her fur off, so I suggezted getting a cockatiel. Only now do I realize that the performers were cockatoos.

For a person who is a surprisingly big bible nerd, I was stunned to realize that title is a weird allusion to a gospel hymn.

Oh, I had my hopes up that Jimmy Cliff did a cover of the Baretta theme, but this is a different song with the same name, apparently.

It's only three two, as I don't recall anything whatsoever from the putative landmark:

Whip-Smart, acoustc from the Leno show.

Crater Lake, standard issue; the live versions are ghastly.

I forgot that "Go West" is atrocious. There might be something left, but I'm weary and not done with my labors yet.

Well, Alice's Restaurant should come as no surprise. There's also bonus indulgence, more Poi Dog.

This will depend on time zone, but Rabbi Joe Black and the Maxwell Street Klezmer Band with Eight Nights of Joy.

Given that (1) the Jackson 5 cover of "Doctor, My Eyes" is awful--perhaps thought of as a tribute to Wellbutrin on my part--and (2) the Gong Show outro of "Easter Parade" [sic] is seemingly nowhere to be found, I present as a fallback Gene Gene the Dancing Machine.

Left unfinished is the question whether DJT thinks Chuck Barris was a CIA agent.

Andy Kaufman does Elvis on Carson. Unfortunately, it's not Burning Love.

Given that I've mentioned the WFMT radio program in the hopeless annoyances post, I suppose I might as well get around to the song itself, which I don't think they even use as an intro. "The Midnight Special" has an an interesting history (and Wi---dia looks to have a decent entry), but down to brass tacks:

Pistol Pete's Midnight Special and Leadbelly.
