15. When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town....

Johnston's lyrics were influenced by the oriental piano sound that Billy Payne came up with when they were working on the track. Payne was the pianist for Little Feat, and recorded with many other artists, including Elton John and James Taylor. Says Johnston: "the piano lick went, 'Dadadadun, dadadadadundun.' It was an Oriental sounding lick. And so from there I took off and went to the place I ended up with lyrically. I must have seen that sign and forgotten it. And when the cab driver told me this in Houston, I said, 'You gotta be kiddin' me.' He said, 'There really is a China Grove.' I said, 'No, there isn't.' He says, 'Yeah, there really is. And it is right outside of San Antonio.' I said, 'That's weird.' And it turns out there's one in North Carolina, too." (Check out our full interview with Tom Johnston.)

17. This version of "Let the Sunshine In" from Hair is a pretty reliable one for me:

I crank it on the way to the doctor's when I know I'm going to have to have blood drawn (a major phobia of mine.)

and the remix of Dionne Farris' "I Know What You're Doing" has pulled me out of several angry-bummed moments over the years:

very relaxing.

20. Ah, you can talk about the pit, barbecue...

"Mess Around", written by Atlantic Records president and founder Ahmet Ertegün under the pseudonym of "A. Nugetre", was one of Ray Charles’ first hits. Earlier versions of the tune, a New Orleans boogie piano riff, can be heard throughout the early 30s and 40s the earliest of all being "Cow Cow Blues" from Charles "Cow Cow" Davenport in 1928.
