2. Barry Manilow at his finest:

Disemblowled and beheaded, his bloated and brassy entrails roasting over a spitting flame.

3. Somewhere in the Night

Though it was a tossup between that and "Could it be Magic".

7. I usually can't stand Barry Manilow, BUT--

I recently found out he wrote a beautiful song, which I've only heard performed by Nancy LaMott. The immortal Johnny Mercer wrote the haunting melody, however--

And when October goes
The snow begins to fly
Above the smokey roofs
I watch the planes go by
The children running home
Beneath a twilight sky
Oh, for the fun of them
When I was one of them

And when October goes
The same old dream appears
And you are in my arms
To share the happy years
I turn my head away
To hide the helpless tears
Oh how I hate to see October go

And when October goes
The same old dream appears
And you are in my arms
To share the happy years
I turn my head away
To hide the helpless tears
Oh how I hate to see October go
I should be over it now I know
It doesn't matter much
How old I grow
I hate to see October go

[Fox Mulder]

8. Mandy

10. I voted for

"You deserve a break today" and "Get a bucket of chicken-have a barrel of fun."

[Crazy Dave]

11. I liked those back up singers he used to have on the "Midnight Special"
