  1. Thanks for making me feel ancient. I only knew Glen Miller and the Champs. And I’m a disc jockey!

  2. As if we couldn’t assume the GG Allin one. It’s about sucking ass. Come on.

    Also, I worked the Borders music department when that Philip Glass dreck hit the shelves. Watching customers attempt the title made me pee my pants.

  6. You forgot the world’s best christmas tune, James Brown’s “Santa Claus go straight to the Ghetto”. Truly, my favorite christmas song, I kid you not.

  7. Yes! I knew **counts**…exactly half of them. Darn, that’s failing.

  8. Darn it, I missed a few, because of thinking it to be a trick question. (I own The Simpsons soundtracks, and remembered the Philip Glass homage version of the song.)
