Comment:

when i started out on this magical, musical journey, i never really noticed how many songs had names of girls in their title. this is just the tip of the iceberg. hell, i could do one of this theme just using beatles songs. there are also a bunch of covers on this but that's really only because i tend to like the cover version better than the original (with the exception of "jolene" because nobody fucks with dolly parton!)

the elvis costello song is "Alison" with only one "l" :-)

cool....I did a mix like this once, though I've never posted it. I also used "Alison" of course....a great song

Very cool selection, with some
expected familiars, but some surprising
(the blast rocks!)
unfamiliars.

I was planning one of these as well, and hadn't even thought of half of these. How could I miss "Roxanne?" Sheesh!

(continuing from one of my mixes...)

I've never been the Mutter Museum, and I've lived in Philly my whole life. You should take me, we'll make mix tapes about the pickled fetuses.
