I’d like to dedicate _Always Look on the Bright Side of Life_ to **Crunchy Frog**. Hope the knee heals up soon. 🙂 And to the only other Damn Yankees fan on the SDMB, _Damn Yankees_ goes out to **blur**. To **KatieKilldare** , a belated birthday song, Bono’s version of _Can’t help Falling in Love_ for her and Mr Killdare to dance to. Have a song that reminds you of a Doper? Dedicate it here! ---

_Let It Be_ to **that\_darn\_cat** and **moi**. For some reason that song reminds me of them. And _Yesterday_ for **Nocturne**. Comme toujours. ---

To Unclebeer I would dedicate…99 Bottles of Beer On The Wall…of course. To Manhattan, New York, New York, but Frank would have to sing it. He’s the only one that can do it justice. ---

To **manhatten** , I would choose _New York State of Mind_ by Billy Joel. To **bobkitty** , I’d dedicate _Kitten’s Got Claws_ by Whitesnake. Though she’s not a Doper, I’d like to make a special dedication to **Supergirlfriend** : _A Murder of One_ by Counting Crows, for reasons known to me and her. ---

Yeah, RIGHT Noc. Actually… nah, never mind. **Jarbaby** , of course, gets _Du Hast_ which is playing on my computer as we speak. Or as I type and you read. **No-surfer-too** (I’m NEVER gonna get tired of that, you know) gets _Bela Lugosi’s Dead_ by Bauhaus. **Noc** is the proud recipient of _Closer to Fine_ by the Indigo Girls. **Rue** gets _They’re coming to take me away._ Hmmmm. **Superdude** gets _Surrounded_ by Dream Theater. **Thinksnow** gets two, because I can’t decide which one I like better for him. _Dark Night of the Soul_ by Loreena McKennitt, and _On My Own_ from the LONDON CAST of Les Miserables. **Simetra** and **Serendipity** get _Silent Lucidity_ by Queensryche. Interesting idea, **Civil.** I would’ve given him _We are the Champions_ but I guess that’s too obvious. -BK ---

Thanks, **Odie**. For you, I’d go with _Makes No Sense At All_ by Husker Du. Not cuz you make no sense, but cuz it’s a great song by a great band. For **zyzzyva** , _Sit Down_ by James, or _Sally MacLennane_ by the Pogues. For **Nen** , _Six Underground_ by the Sneaker Pimps. 😉 (Ok, if I was being serious, it’d be _Lorelei_ by the Pogues.) For **Maeglin** , _Dies Irae_. 'Nuff said. For **Doobieous** , _Autumn, Bring the Fools_ by Bob’s Day Off. For **saph** , _My Name is Jonas_, by Weezer, who else? For **tiggeril** , _Lick my Chakra_ by the Lords of Acid. For **MrCynical** , _Time and Time Again_ by the Counting Crows. ---
