Honey Honey – Abba
Murder She Wrote – Chaka Demus
Havana Moon – Chuck Berry
Blue Moon Revisited – Cowboy Junkies
Licking Stick – Desmond Dekker
I Want You Back – Jackson Five
Belshazzar – Johnny Cash
Roast Fish and Cornbread – Lee Perry
I’m a Ding Dong Daddy – Louis Armstrong
Suddenly Blue – Roger McGuinn
Amy – Ryan Adams
Seu Jorge – His five David Bowie songs, from The Life Aquatic
Jenny and the Ess-Dog – Stephen Malkmus
Strollin’ with Bone – T-Bone Walker
Bewildered – James Brown
Jive at Five – Count Basie
Split Enz – I Hope I Never (for the badly hurt and lovesick)
*Malakado (Be My Baby) – Tarika (the song is sung in English, French, and then Malagasy; a special favorite of mine)
Hey, maybe these are the best songs ever!
