| #10 Mike - disagree with the Cake (CA Central Valley dudes), Bowie (although it is dated), and some (not all) Cure songs... would vote for: late Stevie Nicks (after the voice went), Michael McDonald.... |

| #9 Nope, Mike, none of those are available in English karaoke in Asia. We're talking: Country Roads, the Carpenters, Hey Jude, and Hotel California. Don't worry, you won't find anything by Kate Bush, nor any artist from the last 30 years. |

| #8 "MacArthur Park" ("Someone left a cake out in the rain . . . .") "Let's Dance" by Bowie ("Put on your red shoes and dance the blues . . . .") "Surfin' Bird" "Achy Breaky Heart" Anything by Cake, the Cure, Annie Lennox, or Kate Bush. |

| #3 Oh, I certainly have wanted to kill after hearing that song. That, the Carpenters, Hey Jude, and Hotel California are endlessly replayed again and again. There was an experiment by a fellow here in China who made a CD with just Hotel California repeated again and again for 70 minutes. The patrons of the pool hall he played it in loved it, and asked for more mix CDs. |

| #2 Maybe he should have tired "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" instead? |
