Can't Seem to Carry Us Through
Could tell a lie but my heart would know ...
This week's alphabetical list:
"Can't Seem to Get It Through My Head," Green
"Candy," Iggy Pop & Kate Pierson
"Candy," Morphine
"Candy's Room," Bruce Springsteen
"Cannonball," The Breeders
"Capistrano Beach," Terry Scott Taylor
"Car Wheels on a Gravel Road," Lucinda Williams
"Caravan," Van Morrison
"Caravan of Love," The HouseMartins
"Carry Us Through," Sarah Masen
My top ten nominees to fill in the gaps:
1. "Can't Stand Losing You," The Police
2. "Candido & America," Eddie From Ohio
3. "Candy Apple," The Miss Alans
4. "Canon In D (Pachelbel's Canon)," Orpheus Chamber Orchestra
5. "Canyonero Advertising Jingle," The Simpsons
6. "Capriccio #24," Ilan Ashkenazi
7. "Careful With That Axe, Eugene," Pink Floyd
8. "Carlita's Revenge," Black 47
9. "Carmelita," Warren Zevon
10. "Caroline," Concrete Blonde
A particular endorsement for "Candido & America," which is easily the best song ever inspired by The Tortilla Curtain. EFO has a literary bent; their Into The Wild-inspired "Sahara" is also first-rate.
Also receiving consideration, in alphabetical order: "Can't Stand It," Wilco; "Can't Stop Loving You," Van Halen; "Can't Wait One Minute More," CIV; "Can't You Hear The Beating Of My Heart?," Pat McCurdy; "Can't You See That I'm In Love With You?," Pat McCurdy; "Candy," The Presidents Of The United States Of America; "Candy Cigarette," The Presidents Of The United States Of America; "Candy-Bottom Girls," Q-Unit (Queen/50 Cent mashup); "Candy-O," The Cars; "Candy's Going Bad," Golden Earring; "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)," US3; "Cantara," Dead Can Dance; "Cantering On Fool," Eddie From Ohio; "Canzon Per Sonar A Sei – Count Them – Sei," PDQ Bach; "Canzonetta 'La Hooplina' (The Girl From Hoople)," PDQ Bach; "Canzonetta Intro," PDQ Bach; "Cap In Hand," The Proclaimers; "Cape Feare Medley," The Simpsons; "Capeside Rock," From Autumn To Ashes; "Captain Carswell," Theresa MacLellan; "Captain Of The Teenagers," Neilson Hubbard; "Career Of Evil," Blue Oyster Cult; "Carmela," Los Fabulosos Cadillacs; "Carnage," The Ataris; "Carnaval Toda La Vida," Los Fabulosos Cadillacs; "Carnival Midway," Pat McCurdy; "Carolyn's Bootie," The Presidents Of The United States Of America; "Carry On," Fareed Haque; "Carry On Wayward Son," Kansas; "Carry That Weight," The Beatles.

Excuse me - I know that pop tunes are really important to you youngsters but could I get you to stop waving your arms in the air and chanting long enough to point out that the Apocalypse is starting.
Your favorite little Nazi State is implementing it's Final Solution to the problem of Arabs in the Middle East - and well - it just might impact your plans for the Mall this weekend.

What do you recommend by the band "Green"? I've played a couple of their songs at my radio station and they sounded very generic. But I don't want to give up on a band with such an all-encompassing name.

I'm currently on a classic disco kick so I'll recommend Car Wash by Rose Royce. Not one of my favs but it fits the range.

Interesting list, Fred. Sarah Masen was in my high school class, if you can believe it...

How can several such lists come up and not a one of them contain Gensis most underrated gem Can-Utility and the Coastliners? It's a sad state of affairs, I tell you.

I can't be bothered with anything these days. I guess it doesn't bother me. What can I say?
