Wed 2/6/13: you gotta "Believe"

I'm a Daydream Believer: SmashMouth do the Monkees; Monkees do John Stewart.

Doobs are "Fool"-ish; EMF are "Unbelieveable"

OMFG: uber-uber-BOS Cher, "Believe"!!

BOS2 Huey before he was, um, big: "Do You believe in Diet Dr Pepper"

awww: Lovin' Spoonful .

BOS3 R Kelly -- the man can FLY, yo.

Unavoidable, I suppose, but Y&S anyway: Journey. Don't stop believin'... but PLEASE stop singing about it.

Thur 2/7/13: Eyes Ears Nose & Throat?

"Doctor My Eyes" to start -- Doctor songs? Eye songs? 1972?

Billy Idol prefers his Eyes sans visage.

Ears: "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'". OK, that's a stretch. But Dave Edmunds hears that knockin' too.

The Nose knows: can you "Smell" what Bob is cookin'? Nirvana can. And J Geils says it "Stinks". Heh.

Throat: "Voices Carry". I predict TFF's "Shout" and something with "scream" in the title.

Gwen sez "Don't Speak". To which I reply: "don't sing".

Billy Idol twice in one set is unforgiveable, considering there were plenty other choices.  I may ley out a "Rebel Yell" meself.

Personally, Motley Crue is a WOS, but it gets a VHMFRA.

VHM U2.
