Man Overboard - Do Re Mi
Take A Long Line - The Angels
Sun Arise- Rolf Harris
Bye Bye Pride- The Go-Betweens

consider this list final and locked in.

ken, you recall I covered "cut your hair" for some year's gift of music, right? http://glitterandtwang.org/songs/covers/

I was just being honest. It probably won't get done. Plus I hate TMBG.

1997 JB satisfies your craving here:

Now hush. TMBG is an albatross we'd all like to shake.

(Apologies to our good from Albatross. No relation.)

I want to be involved! And this year it will be on time because I won't be cast into a sea of homelessness and Gulf Coast debris.

Provisional list follows. Links mean it's a confirmed choice.
momotte - "Rue Emile Zola" on superamas
lyrics: http://maisondrole.free.fr/momotte/parzola.htm

Les Têtes Raides - "Qu'est-Ce Qu'on S'Fait Chier !" on Qu'est-Ce Qu'on S'Fait Chier !

World's End Girlfriend - "Garden in the Ceiling" on The Lie Lay Land

Rodinka - "Dumbala" on D'Ici et de Là-Bas
I have no idea for Dumbala's lyrics. They're in czech though. If that helps.

I was thinking of picking some Bjork, but thought it'd be a bit pointless. Now I hope I get Eddie

Why would it be pointless. Marcus Kellis covered "Pagan Poetry" last year.

One of the best things about Bjork is it's Bjork. No offense to Marcus but it wasn't quite the same for me.
