Phirman is a lot of fun.
I’ve just noticed White Winter Hymnal was already named, so you might as well have Well, Hell back.
Thanks!
Taking back Well Hell, please…
Wouldn’t Mama Be Proud?, Elliott Smith (2000)
Mike Phirman is great!
He has another song that I love too:
In Your Biz
Hehehe, my entries get no votes, but I love this one.
Woof Woof - Dan Deacon - 2009
Thanks, that is nice to hear.
I LOVE “Back Pocket”!

@Mean_Mr.Mustard
I was hoping to vote for Warwick Avenue (Duffy) and We are Fine (Sharon Van Etten) – is there some reason they didn’t make the cut?
Hmm, it looks like I missed the two posts immediately following my own submissions (1 song submitted by @WildaBeast and 5 submissions by @Dancer_Flight).
Not an excuse, but perhaps in constructing my own submissions and links, these got past me.
I have closed the existing polls and will re-create them with the missed songs included.
All apologies,
mmm
No worries! You’ve been doing a lot of work for all our benefit and fun.
Sorry for screwing up the first set of polls, and thanks to @JKellyMap for pointing it out early.

Dropping my extras here, as is traditional. The one I really regret not submitting is Beth Hart’s Woman Down. The very definition of the Blues.
Why Haven’t You Loved Me Yet – Sierra Ferrell (2024)
Wild Siberia – Otyken (2021)
Wolf – First Aid Kit (2014)
Woman Down – Beth Hart (2019)
Wow, that’s serious stuff. Haunting. Serious rather as, say, Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit.” Makes so many of the other selections in these polls seem frivolous, even puerile (of course, they’re all worthy in their own way).
Some extras:
Wake Up Scarlett - Duke Special (2005)
We Got More - Eskmo (2010). Video by the great Cyriak Harris
(WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FROM) SEX WITH A STRANGER - LYNKS (2023)
Which Of The Pickwick Triplets Did It? (from “Only Murders in the Building”) - Steve Martin (2023)
Worst Case Scenario - The Hoosiers (2007)
