Best. Mix CD. Ever.

[grammargirl]

It all started a few days ago, when I played Aubrey the intro to the live version of Dar Williams' "I Won't Be Your Yoko Ono," and she mentioned that there's a BNL song called "Be My Yoko Ono."

Thus was the Idea born: a mixed CD composed entirely of paired songs with opposite titles. Thus, our brilliant tracklist:

1. Gene Kelly - Singin' in the Rain
2. Katrina and the Waves - Walking on Sunshine

3. Barenaked Ladies - Be My Yoko Ono
4. Dar Williams - I Won't Be Your Yoko Ono

5. The Beatles - All You Need is Love
6. The Delgados - All You Need is Hate

7. Jewel - I'm Sensitive
8. Jann Arden - Insensitive

9. Verve Pipe - Colorblind
10. Counting Crows - Colorful

11. The Sundays - Cry
12. Pearl Jam - Smile

13. Better Than Ezra - Good
14. Michael Jackson - Bad

15. Tori Amos - Northern Lad
16. Better Than Ezra - Southern Girl

17. John Lennon - Gimme Some Truth
18. Fleetwood Mac - Sweet Little Lies

19. Beck - Loser
20. Queen - We Are the Champions

Also, a special honorable mention goes out to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack - I've Had the Time of My Life and Jets to Brazil - You're Having the Time of My Life. It's great pairing, but we ran out of space and in any case couldn't stand to inflict that awful awful Dirty Dancing song on anyone, especially ourselves.

Incidentally, my room is now cleaner than it has been in ages. This is what happens when there is the possibility of a boy in my bed, I suppose.

Okay. Must go shower, dress, shop, dye, dress, eat, drink, dance, and make out. In that order. :)

Toodles.

I have totally been wanting to mix the two yoko onos ever since i heard Dar's, but I never acquired the musical expertise. I think it'd be fun to do it as a sort've call and answer, beyond just having one after another.
I would like that cd much though :)
Also, The Clash - I Fought the Law (and the law won)
and the Dead Kennedys - I Fought the Law (and I won) :)
