28. Safety Dance - Men with Hats
no subject
Only could pick two, and one of them was Safety Dance :-)
16. Shoehorn with teeth — TMBG
no subject
13. 'Vampires Are Alive', DJ Bobo, Swiss entry in Eurovision 2007? Not sure if you follow Eurovision.
17. 'You Are My Sunshine', folk tune; again, not sure which cover.
no subject
8. Ne w York Original Cast (Kennedy Center).
13. I really liked Bulgaria's entry (Water) that year (2007). I'm a sucker for good percussion and vocals (Elitsa was the lead of the chorus that sung the Xena theme btw). And have you ever tried to order CDs from Bulgaria – difficult – so I settled for the Eurovision version. At least that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it. Which reminds me, I must try to order their CD again.
17. From O Brother, Where Art Thou?.

I know what 23. is originally from, but it has to be being used in some other context if they're the first two lines. I don't know which it is, but at least it gave me an excuse to listen to an infamously banned and recalled CD!
no subject
Would you care to state the source. It might nett you the name of the song, at the very least. Additional clue: they also named the album after this song.

28. HAHAHAHAHHH! That is embarrassing ;)
no subject
Hey! I happen to like Men Without Hats. In fact they managed to get two songs into the list, although I doubt anyone will recognise the other.
And there are several versions of Safety Dance. This one is the American version. The film clip is the Australian Version, despite being shot in Canada (the woman dancing with Ivan is actually the daughter of the premier of Canada at the time). Any more trivia you would like to know?
Personally I'm just glad L'Ame Immortalle's Slut didn't make it on the list. One shouldn't write songs just after one has had an unfortunate breakup. Now that song is embarrassing (especially since it is otherwise on one of their best albums (one of whose songs is also on the list).

Actually it's the redone version for the movie Donnie Darko, but since the dufferences are deeper in the song, you get the points.
no subject
Did you see it/are you going to see it in Melbourne during its season?
no subject
Nope. Haven't seen it, and I probably won't, unless I can convince a group of friends to see it with me.
The only time I go to stage shows alone is if I am already in love with the production and/or performer(s), or if it is the Fringe (which is cheap and packed with stuff to try). Even then, it's much more fun with friends (and will even go so far as to buy them tickets if they are willing to go with me).
