So this was a selection from Vol. XXIV - "J through M", then? ;)
A question as I try to assemble a playlist of my own (I emailed dodgy, and have installed Winamp and (I think) the Shoutcast plugin): Do I have to rename my actual song files to comply with the naming requirements, or do I just have to name them appropriately within Winamp?
Nice list there Jon. Can we agree though that "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" is one of the worst songs ever written? Ouch. Our band covers that song and whenever the "waring blender" line pops up, I can't look at the crowd because I'm too busy cringing.
"I think it's a brilliant parody of James Taylor and his ilk's self-pity: "these young girls won't let me be, poor poor pitiful me..."
Ok, I'll give you that but "Waring blender"? Warren is posthumously guilty of worst use of product placement in a song lyric. Not that that negates all the great songs he's written; just a bad slip of the pen is all.
