(Janis Joplin, "Me and Bobby Magee") "The Teeth they are a a-soakin'" (Dylan, "The times they are a-changin'") "Johnny, I hardly know ye" "The hand that shakes the coffee" ("Wind that shakes the barley") "Where did I put my hat?" ("Where did you get that hat?") and let's not forget to revive the musical "Shuffle Along". |
