2. And if it looks like this then you're doing it right
3. I'm spunky. I like my oatmeal lumpy.
4. You had to wait but you could hear it
5. And as you wipe off beads of sweat slowly you say I'm not there yet
6. I can't hide you from the government
7. Walk without rhythm, you won't attract the worm

7 MUST have to do with Dune.

Yes it is! BP you got one! VSOB too.

#8 is by my next girlfriend, Neko Case. It's from This Tornado Love You and, really, wouldn't it be WICKED if a tornado could carve your name across three counties? WHOA.

Oh, and I missed #1 first time through! That's G. Love and Special Sauce doing Cold Beverage! My recently departed friend LOVED G. Love.

#2 - Clap your hands once clap your hands twice and if it looks like this then you're doing it right. Huge earworm song.
