I Remember by Deadmau5+Kaskade

The name deadmau5 (pronounced dead mouse) comes from an incident where a mouse crawled into Joel Zimmerman’s computer. Dead mouse was too long for a site login name so he abbreviated it to be “deadmau5”.

Part 9 of your Blues Education.

Come Back Jonee by DEVO

“Neil Young paid for our cowboy outfits,” Mothersbaugh says about Devo’s attire in ‘Come Back Jonee.’ “He had asked us to be in his movie, Human Highway. Part of the trade was he bought us cowboy boots and cowboy hats.”

Any Way You Want It by Journey

More a cappella goodness right out of the gate- it slaps you in the face; in a good way.

Black Water by The Doobie Brothers

Southern rock is not to knock. I got nothing- I just like the bridge where they break out into that a cappella harmony jam.

I’ve Seen All Good People by Yes

When you are a band/choir/music/nerd and you hear a bunch of long haired prog-rockers sing in harmony a cappella and play the hell out of their instruments, you are a fan for life.

Boom Boom by John Lee Hooker

Get the Blues. It’s the foundation of all rock n roll that came later. All rock is a rip off of someone’s blues tune.

Fusion’s Allright by Röyksopp

Fly Like an Eagle by The Steve Miller Band

I found a version of this for men’s choir that I performed with the SPU Men’s Choir when my son was singing with the group in June 2012. Guess who got the solo?
