I guess I'm going to LA too, but Mike, this is a pretty good set for 1991, 2 more Katrinas after Sandman, but 6 of the remaining tunes are either bustouts or 2-timers in the Db.

For me there's really no such thing as a "good" 1991 set.

BONUS TRACK:  Monty Python - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Um... OK, WTF does that bonus have to do with 1991??

It's a stretch, but it does work -- from Wikipedia (so it must be true):

The single
"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" became particularly popular in the early 1990s. The film had retained a cult status in the intervening years. Around 1990, the title refrain and hook (either whistled as in the original, or vocalised as 'da-dum, da-da da-da da-dum') began to gain currency as a football chant. This came to the attention of BBC Radio 1 DJ Simon Mayo, whose breakfast show had a track record of reviving old novelty songs. Mayo began playing the original version on his show, which led to EMI re-issuing the track as a single in September 1991.

Wow, news to me.  But I checked the UK chart db, and sure enuf it got to #3 over there in Oct '91.  Don't recall it doing anything on this side of the pond, tho'.  Oh Those Wacky Brits, vol. XXXVII...
