Why Can't I Be You - The Cure ("you make me make me make me hungry for you")

There is some song (well, probably multiple ones) that plays on sole/soul, and it is driving me nuts that I can't think of it....damn it all to hell!!!

Sorry, Susie J, but I had to put the Cure song on it. If Robert Smith were dead, he'd be my incorporeal lover (and NOT in the sense of necrophilia, which is NOT incorporeal). BUT I refrained from putting a Smiths song on it. I take this as a step.

the 3-4-05 mix

Here Comes the Rain Again - Eurythmics
Gravity Rides Everything - Modest Mouse ("I want to go back to sleep")
People Ain't No Good - Nick Cave
Friday - J. J. Cale ("Friday, Friday evening, come on Friday I want to go home")
Motorcycle Mama - Neil Young (just 'cause I like this song, and I was listening to it this morning)

wow gayle, that's a lot of monkey songs. i've never heard a lot of them. anyway, an update: the monkey mix is kicking ass. i've got the drum/piano/guitar break from the kinks timed and edited nicely, with the bassline from a rap song about monkeys (from the Beneath the Surface compilation) layered over it. shouldn't be tough to make the transition from the kinks beat to the new song using the bass part. for the main section of the kinks track i'm going to try laying the intro from the stones song over it. don't know how, or if, it's going to work. but the stones song itself contains some awesome breakdowns. i'm working on extracting the individual drum sounds as much as possible, as well as time compressing and expanding to create some weird echoey effects.... this part sounds AWESOME with the "this one for all the bouncers" part from the specials cut in and out over it. so the first three tracks are the kinks beat (the song itself will appear later), the monkey rap song, and the stones beat (most of the rest of that one will also appear later).

the citrus mix

so after much discussion, it was decided that in order to make the list of songs actually long enough, it either

a. had to be a fruit mix (i'm anti-this option) or
b. had to use citrus words even if referring to color.

so we're going with b.

without further ado...the mix so far...

Tangerine - Zeppelin
Tangerine - Prince
Lemon - U2
Orange Crush with Eyeliner - REM
Wrong Number - the Cure ("lime green, lime green, and tangerine...")
The Lemon Song - Zeppelin
She Don't Use Jelly - Flaming Lips ("...she uses taaaaaannnngerine...")
Lime in the Coconut - Harry Nilsson ("I said DOCTOR...to relieve this belly ache...DOCTOR"...yeah)
