Something for (almost!) everyone: U2–“One” Dexy’s Midnight Runners–“Come On Eileen” Hector Berlioz–“March to the Scaffold” from _Symphonie Fantastique_ Mystikal–“Shake Your Ass” Fiona Apple–“Shadowboxer” (and the rest of _Tidal_) Garth Brooks–“Standing Outside the Fire” Crystal Method–anything. Really. Ani DiFranco–“Untouchable Face” and many others Stevie Ray Vaughn–Pretty much all of him, but I’m especially fond of _Texas Flood_. Oh, so many more, and so many seconds! ---
