1. Willie Nelson "Hello Walls"

2. Beck "Diamond Dogs"
cover of the Bowie song from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack.

3. The Clash "Know Your Rights"

4. The Jarmels "A Little Bit of Soap" sampled on De La Soul's Three Feet High and Rising album.

5. Perez Prado "Perfidio"

6. The Residents "Bach is Dead"

7. The Eagles of Death Metal "Kiss the Devil"
I will kiss the devil on his tongue

8. Sammy Davis Jr., "Something's Got to Give"

9. The Beatles "Mother Nature's Son"
Alleged by an unkind music reviewer to contain the chord progressions Elliot Smith based his entire career on.

10. Zach Galifianakis and a doo-wop group
he hired off the street in the town he was in. "He Ain't Gonna Email You"

11. Police / Mancini, Henry And His Orchestra
"Every Breath You Take/Theme from Peter Gunn" [Mr. Ruggerio's Remix]
from Sopranos: Peppers & Eggs (Music From the HBO Original Series). Steve Fisk's band/duo Pigeonhed has a song on this album: "Battle Flag". Which means Steve Fisk's music is playing behind a scene in a Sopranos episode. I honestly hope it was a good paycheck.

12. Fiona Apple "A Better Version of Me"

13. John Barry Orchestra "The Girl With The Sun In Her Hair"

14. The Postal Service "Against All Odds"
After all the time since this song was once overubiquitous it's still excruciating. I had hoped this cover would redeem it. It was a mistake, a terrible mistake. And there's nothing we can do. Soon after posting this episode, Phil Collins was a key part of an episode of "This American Life". It was excellent and almost mitigated the misery to which he subjected our good country. Episode #339 found here.

15. Dusty Springfield "Have a Good Life Baby"

16. Bobby Bare "Dropkick Me Jesus Through the Goalposts of Life"

17. The Meters "Cissy Strut"
Joe Perry of Aerosmith says that he was listening to a lot to the Meters before he wrote "Walk This Way". Learning that connects a dot or two, don't it?

18. Leadbelly "Hitler Song"

19. Daniel Lanois "Secret Place" from the Slingblade soundtrack.

20. The Pogues "Summer in Siam"

21. Brian Eno "Fractal Zoom"

22. Boards of Canada "Eno Test"
This might make up for that Phil Collins cover.
