    Oh and I forgot, Erma Franklin did the original, but I like Janis' cover better. :-)

    Correct!  Just wanted Erma to get some "props" like her little sister Aretha.

    You put another by Janis Joplin:  Cry Baby.

    Walk along the river, sweet lullaby, it just keeps on flowing,
    It don't worry 'bout where it's going, no, no.
    Don't fly, mister blue bird, I'm just walking down the road,
    Early morning sunshine tell me all I need to know 

    More:

    You're my _____ ____, you're my sunny day.
    Lord, you know it makes me high when you turn your love my way,
    Turn your love my way, yeah.

    It's "Blue Sky" bu The Allman Bros.

    Baby, do you understand me now?
    Sometimes I feel a little mad
    But don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
    When things go wrong I feel real bad.

    That's "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", in college we listened to the version by Santa Esmerelda

    It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine
    It's like trying to drink whiskey from a bottle of wine

    Honky Cat...Elton John

    I met a gin-soaked bar room queen in Memphis

    She tried to take me upstairs for a ride

    Honky Tonk Woman - Stones

    Colored lights can hypnotize

    American Woman  - The Guess Who

    He's kind of tall
    He's really fine
    Some day I hope to make him mine, all mine

    Boy from NYC - Manhatten Transfer

    Man it's a hot one
    Like seven inches from the midday sun
    Well I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
    But you stay so cool

    Smooth...Carlos Santana and Rob Thomas

    ....I grew up believing

    That God keeps his eye on us all

    And He used to lean upon me

    As I pledge allegiance to the wall

    My Little Town - Simon & Garfunkel

    ____, songs are like tattoos / You know I've been to sea before
    Crown and anchor me / Or let me sail away
    Hey ____, here is a song for you / Ink on a pin
    Underneath the skin / An empty space to fill in
    Well there're so many sinking now / You've got to keep thinking
    You can make it through these waves.
    Acid, booze, and ass / Needles, guns, and grass
    Lots of laughs, lots of laughs
    Everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go
    Well I don't think so / But I'm gonna take a look around it though
    ____, I love you

    ____, here is a shell for you
    Inside you'll hear a sigh
    A foggy lullaby
    There is your song from me.

    (edit to add http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WvIYduo2QU  'bye, Marybe Cry)

    and that's Blue by Joni Mitchell

    You love her
    But she loves him
    And he loves somebody else
    You just can't win

    Love Stinks -J Geils Band

    I was cutting the rug
    Down at a place called The Jug
    With a girl named Linda Lu
    When in walked a man
    With a gun in his hand
    And he was looking for you know who.

    Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon

    (I was about 3 1/2 when this song came out and to this day I still sing "where was the Thunder". If you listen, that's exactly what it sounds like he's singing)  Smile

    Move yourself, you always live your life
    Never thinking of the future
    Prove yourself

    You are the move you make
    Take your chances win or loser

    Owner of a Lonely Heart - Yes

    He ain't got no distractions
    Can't hear those buzzers and bells,
    Don't see lights a flashin'
    Plays by sense of smell

    Pinball Wizard - The Who (Tommy)

    Listen now and understand
    She's gonna find me some peace of mind
    Yeah if that peace of mind won't stay
    I'm gonna get myself a better way
    I might rise above, I might go below
    Ride with the tide and go with the flow
    And that's the reason why I keep on shoutin' in your ear
    No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, baby

    Mockingbird- not sure on the original artist. Carly Simon? Lots of covers from James Taylor to Toby Keith and his daughter.

    I close my eyes

    Only for a moment and the moments gone

    All my dreams

    Pass before my eyes with curiosity

    Dust In The Wind....Kansas

    I don't have much money

    But if I did

    I'd buy a big house where

    We both could live

    Mini, I was thinking of the version by Carly Simon & James Taylor, that's the verse he sings.

    Suzanne, yours is a lovely tune - Your Song by Elton John

    Well the sun is surely sinking down,
    but the moon is slowly rising.
    So this old world must still be spinning around,
    and I still love you.

    That's "You Can Close Your Eyes" written by JT and sung beautifully by Linda Ronstadt

    Time keeps on slippin' slippin' slippin' into the future...

    Fly Like an Eagle - Steve Miller

    Come gather 'round, people, wherever you roam
    And admit that the waters around you have grown
    And accept it that ssoon you'll be drenched to the bone

    Mick Jagger & David Bowie or Van Halen (my favorite) or Martha Reeves and the Vandellas

    There's a port on a western bay
    And it serves a hundred ships a day
    Lonely sailors pass the time away
    And talk about their homes

    Brandy - Looking Glass

    Don't go for second best baby
    Put your love to the test you know, you know you've got to
    Make him express how he feels and maybe
    Then you'll know your love is real

    Vacation - The Go-Go's

    Well I don't really know her, I only know her name
    But she crawls under your skin, you're never quite the same, and now i know

    Its something mysterious
    And now it seems Im falling, falling for her.

    Money for Nothing - Dire Straits

    Looking out on the morning rain
    I used to feel so uninspired
    And when I knew I had to face another day
    Lord, it made me feel so tired

    You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman - Carole King, Aretha Franklin

    What would you think if I sang out of tune
    Would you stand up and walk out on me
    Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
    And I'll try not to sing out of key

    With A Little Help From My Friends....The Beatles  (and Joe Cocker)

    I thought I was in love

    A couple of times before

    With the girl next door

    But that was long before I met you
