22. I can probably agree...
I've not really heard any better songs...(Tight Pants from the same sessions is equally good though!).

9. With all due respect, it's far from perfect - it's WAY too short.

14. Yes, I do actually.
"Woo hoo" by the 5,6,7,8's

It's on the Kill Bill 1 Soundtrack.

29. Thanks
Now if I could only find a download of it I could play it endlessly here in the office and see how long it will take someone to ask me to turn it off.

35. iTunes has it.
Just search for "woo hoo". $1 for that kind of entertainment is well worth it! Although you might need that dollar for a cab ride to the hospital after being mercilessly beaten by your coworkers.

Actually, just about anything by David Bowie, but that one will do for starters...

38. I was always curious as to how "Hot" by James Brown
(included on the album Dead on the Heavy Funk) came to have the same backing track as "Fame" by David Bowie.

After some hunting around years ago to find out which song was released first, etc, the most plausible story I heard was that back in the lazy day when James Brown would just pay studio musicians a few hundred bucks to come up with some tracks for him, over which he would then vocalize, some of the musicians just got fed up and passed him some tapes from the prior Bowie sessions in the same studio.

Whatever the case, I adore both "Hot" and "Fame."

Must agree that Young Americans is just a brilliant, soulful rekkid.

44. "When You Make Up Your Mind"- Gutterball
Everything about it, but the acending guitar solo on the break is "almost" better than sex. And you can't go wrong w/ a band that has Steve Wynn (Dream Syndicate), Bryan Harvey (House Of Freaks), Steven McCarthy (Long Ryders), AND Bob Rupe (Silos) in it..
