4. whaaa?

All I know is:

Ev'rywhere you want I always go
I always give in because, baby, you know
You just say so 'cause you give me that
feeling inside that I know must be right
It's the singer not the song

It's not the way you give in willingly
Others do it without thrilling me
Giving me that same old feeling inside that I
know I must be right
It's the singer not the song

The same old places and the same old songs
We've been going there for much too long
There's something wrong and it gives me that feeling
inside that I know I must be right
It's the singer not the song

6. Oh no

Thanks for the earworm. Gotta put on "December's Children" on when I get home now.

7. Jerry Garcia? nt

[Scoots]

10. How about the worst? I say it's......

P-Diddy, Puff Daddy, Pap Smeary, Po Diddly, Scooty Puff Junior, or whatever the hell he's calling himself lately.

Of course he doesn't actually SING, he just turns on someone else's records and goes "Unh...Unh..." over the top.

Nonetheless, when I saw the topic line of this thread I immediately thought: "Who makes the most money from copying a real musician's work?"

(I don't count the tin pan alley years)

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. Elvis Presley.

14. I know country music's a thread killer but George Straight's songs are not

his and they are pretty good.
