"The Puppy Song" by Mary Hopkin/ Harry Nilsson - delete vocs, leave backing track.

Lime is food? Yep.

Mandarin and Clementine went to meet the entire citrus gang, nobody ate people.

"...Champions", Queen - "of the world".
BMB - figured what can't stand about it - the "be my be my" etc. bits sung by Estelle with Nedra. Ronny should've sung without girls. Or, Phil or smb. should've made different melody pattern to girls to sing. The drum intro isn't fave either. Ronny sings single paired with different wall of sound layers plus different drum pattern in the intro = good.
"Memphis, T", Chuck Berry etc. - guitar. Dislike melody.
"...Winner...", ABBA - tag's high-pitched piano plays with answering harmony chants.
"...Boots...", Nancy Sinatra - such dreadful epic fail ditty it's not even funny. The bizarre intro/ riff is best thing to tell about.

"Boys Don't Cry" - fast paced guitar bits following main riff
"Dawn Go Away" - "pretty eyes..." intro bit
"Come On Eileen" - intro
"This Is Love", George Harrison - when he does cool vocalization ending lines "...our OWN CREATION"/ "...oOVERCOME"/ "...from way out OF THE BA-LLOON"
"Manic Monday" - middle 8
"Music Man" - hymn- patriotic-like "naaaa-na-na-na" singalong
"Oh Carol" - high-pitched bits
"Tonight You Belong To Me" - this tune would be good w/out cheesy repetition echoing lead singer ("I know" (I know) Roll Eyes ) & vowel continuations ("beloooong"/ "sooomebody neeeew")
"Girl In Ipanema" - 2 lines finishing middle 8, lyrics "...to the sea"/ "..." (rhymes with "sea", didn't rmbr lyrics)

Agreed about those lines, RR, but I rather like the whole song. Grin

Although it's from a male point of view, I can't imagine anyone other than Astrud Gilberto singing it!

Wow, she's quite something! Thanks for sharing, RR. Smiley

But I grew up with Astrud G so my money's still on her. Wink
