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

#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.

#8 "MacArthur Park" ("Someone left a cake out in the rain . . . .")

Anything by Cake, the Cure, Annie Lennox, or Kate Bush.

#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.

#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....
