Sure. Just as soon as we’re down to about 10.

Okay, I think 77, 83, 103, 104, 106, 107, 138, 140, 145, and 150, and 152 were identified. That leaves:

Left off the one that’s driving me nuts…

and 141 I answered already, so take that one of the list, too

Don’t need directions and we don’t need a map
After we take a walk let’s go take a nap

**141. What if there were two, side by side in orbit? [b/]Nightswimming; REM.

In the running for most beautiful song of all time.

In this case they were a George-produced group. (Paul produced their first album, the one with “Come and Get It.”)
