Sing Along With Skooze 2: 100 plus more songs I like to blast in the car
This is what holiday weekends and writer's block gets you - more songs that you might catch me singing in the shower, the car, as I clean the bathroom, make the bed, etc. I seem to have a lot of covers. I like having familiar songs by different folks - it's fun! Anyway, each song is a separate link - please RIGHT-CLICK and SAVE-AS so you don't destroy my bandwidth! Even though the numbers only go up to 90, there is a grand total of 122 songs listed here; even more than last time! Let me know if any of the links are messed up. This was so tedious. You love me, right? Take a few, take them all, take none, just make fun of my song choices :) Please comment if you download any - enjoy!
[These songs are no longer available for download - thanks!]
1. Another Fucking Lovesong, Amiel. Just a cute little break-up number.
2. Another Part of Me, Michael Jackson. Oh man, we had an entire dance that went with this. The beginning always makes me think of a spaceship or something. Fun!
3. Astronomy, Metallica. A Blue Oyster Cult cover of awesomeness. There is so much goodness in this. And, hey, my very first fandom fic ever waaaaaaay back in ’03, was named after this song!
4. Baby, It’s Cold Outside, Leon Redbone & Zooey Deschanel. From Elf! The most fantastic Christmas movie of all time! I wish they’d recorded it with Will Ferrell, but Zooey is cool beans; And here, have a bandom version: Baby, It’s Cold Outside, Greta Salpeter & Thomas Dutton
5. Barbara Ann, The Beach Boys. This is possibly the easiest song to memorize.
6. Born, Over the Rhine. A pretty pretty song. I will counteract the pretty with this hilariously strange kid song by the same group: The Poopsmith Song.
7. Breakfast At Tiffany’s, Deep Blue Something. I’m pretty sure everyone knows the words to this one.
8. Brick, Ben Folds Five. This reminds me of my junior and senior years of college, my roommate Porkchop, the fire that burned down our apartment, Poetry Class Brian (who totally had a crush on me, I know it), snow storms, good times.
9. Can You Stand The Rain (Under The Lamppost - Quiet Storm Mix), New Edition. Ooooh, dudes. New Edition rocks my socks.
10. Dead, They Might Be Giants. It’s hard to choose TMBG songs for this list, because practically ALL of them are sing-along songs. Something about singing about being beheaded is pure fun, though.
11. Don’t Fuck With Love, Sad Little Stars. I seem to like songs that have ‘fuck’ and ‘love’ in them. Weird.
12. Drive, The Cars. When I was younger I never realized this was a Cars song, because it’s so completely different from their other tunes. It’s just gorgeous. Have a lovely cover, too (even though I've given it to you before): Drive, Revolution Smile
13. Earth Angel, The Penguins. An oldie but goody. Death Cab for Cutie seems to think so too: Earth Angel.
14. Everywhere, Fleetwood Mac. Who doesn’t like Fleetwood Mac? And for that matter, who doesn’t think this cover kicks everyone’s collective ass: Everywhere, Vampire Weekend.
15. Excitable Boy, Warren Zevon. It’s a song about a psycho and it’s catchy.
16. Faded, Soul Decision. Oh, Oh, SERIOUSLY WHAT? I’m kind of faded but I’m feeling all right, thinking ‘bout making my move tonight…
17. Ferris Wheel, Carlon. Short little ditty that’s fun to sing.
18. Follow You Home, Kasey Chambers. For someone who hates country music, I sure have a whole lot of banjo-pickin’ songs.
19. Forever In Blue Jeans, Neil Diamond. Another song that reminds me of college; Porkchop and I used to change the words to ‘forever in big pants’ because we’d pretty much wear our pj pants everywhere - class, dinner, movies, what-have-you - and we called them ‘big pants’. Man, I was so cool. I’m totally still amazed at my cool.
20. Girls, Beastie Boys. Not my favorite Beastie Boys song (that would have to be No Sleep Till Brooklyn), but so fun to sing. Totally sexist, but fun.
21. Goodbye Stranger, Supertramp. One of the best Supertramp songs. I suspect maybe you kill unicorns in your spare time if you don't enjoy this one.
22. Home, Marc Broussard. At just about the halfway mark in this song the handclaps and foot-stomps start. And it’s magic.
23. I Don’t Wanna Live Without Your Love, Chicago. Basically, you can pick any Chicago song ever and I’d sing along with it.
24. I Don’t Want to Live on the Moon, Ernie (Sesame Street). I can still picture the skit that goes along with this. I loved this song so much that I actually wrote the music out for it for my piano by ear. Nothing fancy, just the notes and chords. It’s just so sweet.
25. I Should Be Allowed To Think, They Might Be Giants. I should be allowed to glue my poster. I should have a call-in show.
26. Idiot Boyfriend, Jimmy Fallon. I think Jimmy Fallon is hilarious. Taxi was probably the worst movie ever and I still loved it. Also, this song reminds me of the time J gave me a stereo system for the TV for Christmas. Seriously. Seriously, did he think I really wanted that? Or did he want it?
27. In The Ghetto, Elvis Presley. Is there anyone who doesn’t sing along to this one?
28. It’s Raining Again, Supertramp. Any song that ties in the old ‘it’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring’ bit is freaking golden in my eyes.
29. It’s Tricky, Run DMC. Who doesn’t like Run DMC?? Who? People who aren’t fans of delicious flavors, that’s who.
30. Johnny, Are You Queer, Josie Cotton. Valley Girl is kind of the only movie I’d watch with Nick Cage in it, because I hate Nick Cage with the fiery passion of a million suns.
31. Jolene, Jeremy Fisher. I’m awfully fond of this boy.
32. Just What I Needed, The Cars. Classic Cars. The guitars at the beginning of this song are kind of amazing.
33. Landslide, Fleetwood Mac. Kind of the most gorgeous song ever in all the land. No matter who sings it: Landslide, Smashing Pumpkins; Landslide, Dixie Chicks.
34. Life Is But A Dream, The Harptones. Um. So, yeah, this was me and J’s wedding song.
35. Little Bitty Pretty One, Bobby Darin. Handclaps! Humming!! BOBBY DARIN.
36. Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong, Spin Doctors. I always thought the lead singer for the Spin Doctors looked like a street bum. That is all.
37. Look Away, Chicago. Yet again, my love for Chicago shines through. Not as well known as their other hits, but just as much fun to sing.
38. Lost In Love, Air Supply. It amuses me a whole lot to imagine Ryan Ross as a secret Air Supply fan. IDEK.
39. Mama Said Knock You Out, LL Cool J. Who remembers his TV show, In The House? I used to love that show, back when that lady from Fame was on it. That has nothing to do with this song, though.
40. Me and Bobbie McGee, Janis Joplin. Everyone should know this song. Also, my brother got me a little into bluegrass, hazards of living in Atlanta for so many years: Bobby McGee, Bullsburo.
41. Mind Playing Tricks On Me, Geto Boys. Awwwww, yeah. Geto Boys.
42. Minnie the Moocher, Cab Calloway. I should just put the whole soundtrack to The Blues Brothers on this list.
43. Missionary Man, Eurythmics. Don’t mess with a missionary man. The beginning of this song is kind of awesome.
44. MMMBop, Hanson. I can’t believe I left this off my last list.
45. Narrow Your Eyes, They Might Be Giants. Seriously, there’s pretty much not a single TMBG song that I couldn’t sing all the words to. I like the part about the bus in this one, though.
46. A Nightmare On My Street, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. We’re creeping up on Halloween!
47. No Leaf Clover, Metallica. S&M is a genius album. The entire thing is amazing, but I love, love, love this song. LOVE.
48. No Myth, Michael Penn. Romeo in black jeans!
49. Nobody’s Cool, The Arrogants. I like singing along with these folks. They’re sweet.
50. O Fortuna, Carmina Burana, Orff. So, okay, unless you’re like me and sung this in choir, you won’t actually know the words. However, you know the tune! And it’s fun to blast really, really loud. Just watch out, ‘cause the middle is so so soft, and then it crashes into sound, and you might go deaf.
51. Oh My God, Kaiser Chiefs. This is such a fun song. What might be even funner is this version: Oh My God, Mark Ronson ft. Lily Allen.
52. Old Dominion, Eddie From Ohio. If you really like Virginia. It’s a live version, but I think that adds to the fun.
53. One Crowded Hour, Augie March. I kind of love the build to this song.
54. Owner of a Lonely Heart, Yes. Yes is pretty awesome. A less awesome, but interesting version: Owner of a Lonely Heart, Grizzly Bear.
55. Papa Gene’s Blues, The Monkees. Mike Nesmith is basically my favorite Monkee. He’s a guitar-pickin’ genius.
56. Playground, XTC. I love Wasp Star. Everyone should have a copy.
57. Poison Arrow, ABC. Shoot that poison arrow to my heart!
58. The Predatory Wasp Of The Palisades Is Out To Get Us!, Sufjan Stevens. I didn’t like this song at all the first time I heard it. It’s the kind of tune that grows on you.
59. Ready Or Not, The Fugees. I do indeed own The Score. I always thought this song was kind of spooky.
60. Reminiscing, Little River Band. Hee. Little River Band. Totally fun.
61. Rock With You, Michael Jackson. Dance you into day. You know, it’s too bad that MJ is such a freak, because he’s kind of awesome, otherwise.
62. Sara Smile, Hall & Oates. One of my fav Hall & Oates songs. For no real reason, since they are not related at all, it always reminds me of that old 80s movie Savannah Smiles, the adorable comedy where two bumbling crooks accidentally kidnap a kid. Whatever. I’m weird.
63. (She’s) Sexy + 17, Stray Cats. The Stray Cats are freaking awesome.
64. Shout, Tears for Fears. If I’m going to give you this version, I need to give you this version, too: Shout 2000, Disturbed. I’ve already mentioned that The Sickness is one of my favorite albums of all time. The best is the little ‘ice, ice baby’ in the middle.
65. Silence Is Golden, The Tremeloes. A fun oldies tune.
66. Skullcrusher Mountain, Jonathan Coulton. Look, any song that mentions a monkey-pony hybrid monster is A++ in my book.
67. Sky Blue And Black, Jackson Browne. Another delight off of his I’m Alive album.
68. Smooth Criminal, Michael Jackson. Bad is kind of the best MJ album, okay? Okay. And I’ve given you this before, but: Smooth Criminal, Alien Ant Farm.
69. Solitaire, The Carpenters. Awesome song, and I don’t even like Sheryl Crow, but she sings an excellent version: Solitaire.
70. Solitary Man, Neil Diamond. I’ll be what I am, a solitary man.
71. Space Cowboy, 'N Sync Feat. Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes. One of the most ridiculous ‘N Sync songs of all time. I'd say the most ridiculous, except this is ‘N Sync, and there are so many more. What the hell were they thinking with Riddle?
72. Still, The Commodores. Slow, lovely, fun to sing in the car.
73. Stray Cat Strut, Stray Cats. I’m a ladies cat! I’m a feline Casanova!
74. Stuck In The Middle With You, Stealers Wheel. I’m a sucker for handclaps, okay? I'm pretty sure you already knew that.
75. Superstar, The Carpenters. So I listed the Carpenters version first by dint of it being The Carpenters, even though Sonic Youth’s version is amazing. Also, have another version: Superstar, Shock of Pleasure
76. Sweet Young Thing, The Monkees. Mike Nesmith is the man.
77. These Are The Daves I Know, Bruce McCullough. The Kids In The Hall will always be my favorite comedy skit team.
78. Top Of The World, The Carpenters. Another one where I love the cover more: Top Of The World, Shonen Knife. It’s kind of adorably hyper. (I’m also a huge fan of the tribute album If I Were A Carpenter, so you should get yourself a copy). Here’s another random version: Top Of The World, The Sugarcubes.
79. Umbrella (ft Jay-Z) and Umbrella (Remix ft Chris Brown & Jay-Z), Rihanna; I have NO IDEA why I have so many versions of this song *hands*. Umbrella, Manic Street Preachers; Umbrella, Scott Simons; Umbrella, Plain White T’s; Umbrella, Tegan and Sara (live version, but still nice).
80. What A Feeling, Irene Cara. Flashdance!
81. Where It’s At, Beck. I got two turn tables and a microphone. I used to have kind of an obscene concert t-shirt from this. That was a good drum break!
82. White Wedding, Billy Idol. My fav part is the ‘pick it up - take me back home, yeah!’ I seem to have a lot of versions of this, too: White Wedding, Doro; White Wedding, Queens of the Stone Age; White Wedding, Whip; White Wedding, The Harvey Girls.
83. Why Does The Sun Shine? (The Sun Is A Mass Of Incandescent Gas), They Might Be Giants. They taught me everything I know about the sun.
84. Will You Return?, The Avett Brothers. Folk-rock! My favorite!
85. World Spins Madly On, The Weepies. This song sure is pretty.
86. You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You, Dean Martin. Dino! The sentiment is kind of mean, but it’s still a good song.
87. You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling, The Righteous Brothers. This reminds me, oddly enough, of Pirate Booty and elementary school.
88. You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, Barbara Streisand & Neil Diamond. I used to duet this with Porkchop. My love of old school duets is still going strong.
89. Young Folks and Young Folks (beyond the wizards sleeve re-animation), Peter Bjorn & John. This is the kind of song that gets annoying after a while, but it’s still fun to sing. Wow, I also have lots of covers of this: Young Folks, The Kooks; Young Folks, Shugo Tokumaru; technically not a straight cover: Young Folks, Kanye West.
90. 500 Miles, The Proclaimers. This still makes me think of How I Met Your Mother. Hilarious.
