Let’s add some Johnny: [Give My Love to Rose](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzdIrGR3vhs) – Johnny Cash (his 2002 recording, and his last Grammy) Edit: and is (Ghost) Riders in the Sky disqualified, for the parentheses? If so, dangit, but if not–especially since it’s often [spelled without the parentheses](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVygjGoIUEE)–I’d love to make this Willie Nelson/Johnny Cash version my final selection. Edit 2: I just checked, and the song was in the “begins with a symbol” poll, so I’m guessing it’s disqualified. Dangit. ---
