FW: Sinister: yet more list songs

[Rob Baker]

Surely the ultimate list songs are Cole Porter's. 'Let's Call the Whole thing Off' - "You say Tomarto and I say Tomayto" and he wrote loads of other list songs none of which I can remember but perhaps someone can. 'My Heart Belongs to Daddy' I think is another and 'I Get a Kick Out of You' I suppose.

B & S content. I've been listening to TBWTAS for a couple of weeks and although unsure at first, I thinks its brilliant now with different songs taking over as favourites all the time. And is the title track actually about someone from the band Arab Strap. Stuart sings'the boy from the Arab Strap'at one point (i think) and if so has one of the band members got a 'filthy laugh'. Just wondering.

A couple more list songs: 52 Girls by the B52's - I think you can guess
what it's a list of - and Tom Lehrer's periodic table song (again with a
pretty self-explanatory theme) is surely the ultimate list song...
