She's going to play that Call song, isn't she?

Not unless she goes to 11 or plays it during the backsell.

Wow, that's a disappointment. Granted I didn't hear the clips/segues but there were some good (and event-appropriate) suggestions in the thread... and we heard none. Just the usual-usual. "Love Shack" -- jeebus. And juxtaposing "Everything Is Broken" with a quake clip was clever the first ten times Dave did it but... oy.

And indeed, Here's To Ya -- the only thing missing here was The Call. Or FYC.

oddly, this got some rave reviews in 'snipeland. Go figure.
