You know, there are really a remarkable number of bands whose names begin with “S”… There may be more “B” or “T” acts in my library, just because I own a bazillion songs by Bob Dylan and Tom Waits, but there sure are a lot of “S” artists.<\/p>\n
This set continues to show that sing-along-ability is the most important criterion in picking FutureBaby tunes. On strict moral grounds, the Pogues have no business on such a list, not due to lyrical content, but rather the make-up of the band, but how could I not include a couple of theirs?<\/p>\n

- “Shake A Tail Feather,” Ray Charles<\/li>\n
- “Four-Eyed Girl,” Rhett Miller<\/li>\n
