4. Bullwinkle & Rocky - Rabbit Out of a Hat 1 (0:14)
--- when somebody brought up an aerobic dance mix song called "I Know a Place" I hoped it would be based on Petula Clark's 60's hit... that would've been extra cool, but alas... so I dug out ol' Pet Clark and did a double play...

17. Elvin Bishop - Fooled Around and Fell In Love (4:35)
