> [@EinsteinsHund](#): > > > [@P-man](#): > > > > Devil in Disguise- Flying Burrito Brothers > > I can’t believe this is my second nitpick about a Flying Burrito Brothers song in this thread, but I’ve always known this song as “Christine’s Tune”, at least that’s the title listed on my FBB albums that have the song. When I google it, I see many entries of “Christine’s Tune (AKA Devil In Disguise)”, but I don’t know if that’s official. I think they called it “Christine’s Tune” to avoid confusion with Elvis’ “(You’re The) Devil In Disguise” (and probably to take a dig at a woman called Christine). I think I call our thread master @Mean_Mr.Mustard to decide. Great song nonetheless, I’d hate to see it go. Best pedal steel ever. > > And if mmm should decide it’s not eligible for this thread, you can still post it in the C thread. Thanks for the second Burrito heads up, Hund. It’s listed as “Devil in Disguise” when it first appeared on an album - 1972’s “The Last of the Red Hot Burritos”. It was later listed as “Christine’s Tune” on the Burritos’ 1991 live album “From Another Time”. So I’m going to leave this one in the D’s. mmm ---

Ah, so it did! I guess I didn’t go back far enough to see that. @P-man, Devil in Disguise is being removed from the D list. Have another go if you want (and if you still care :)) BTW, nitpick away, I want to be correct on these. mmm ---

The Dead Heart - Midnight Oil Don’t, This Way - 77s Don’t You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds Diamonds - Rihanna Don’t Toss Us Away - Lone Justice I could have put down five more songs (yet to be named) all starting with “Don’t” - plus a couple more it kills me to leave out. ---

I am so sorry to have broken so many rules. It’s true, I only skimmed the rules. This is the first one of these polls that I have gotten to before the actual polls have started, and I was excited!
