I have over 300 songs in my playlist - most of them are late 60's early 70's Blues/Psychedelic/Rock/Pop which work well with a lot of the shows and full screen scenes. I also have some Soul (Staxx Atlantic) and Tamla Motown, songs from the same era, which also work well with many of the shows.
I also have a few "querky" songs in the play list.
This one works well from a music point of view but mostly I just love the absolute irony of the lyrics,

Strange but true - I also find that this one works well with a lot of shows

There is also a Reggae version

Best of all is this one

Probably too low a tempo for the shows but I would love to see the solo violinist on VG she is gorgeous:-)
An up tempo version of one of my favourite John lennon songs which also seems to work well with a lot shows.

One of my favourite covers of Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing - the saxophonist gives Eric Clapton a run for his money

There is also this one. Not only did the BBC ban it from being played but they also refused to name the title when they did the rundown of the Top 20 at the time.

I also had look at the Laura Cox video of the Free Song - Alrlght Now which is one of my all time favourite songs. Any arsehole who cannot tell the difference between "Wrong" and "Different" or "tuning a guitar" and deliberately mis-tuning it to create an effect, should not be allowed to comment on anything. What is the point of covering a song if you are going to do it in exactly the same style as the original - you need to put your own stamp on it. She does. I would prefer not to comment on how beautiful she is, as it is irreleveant in the context of the music, however I would love to see her on VG :-)
If you don't mind cover versions, don't care about interpretations and would just like to chill out for a few minutes try this one.
