    Did you listen to them lassy? I thought drift away would be a known song even if it was used in an ad.

    Sadly not enough time to listen with work today :(

    I'll try go back over them later at some point but not in time for voting

    Rapper's Delight - Sugarhill Gang I said a hip hop hippie to the hippie
    he hip, hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it out. Inspiring.

    Rasputin - Boney M Doesn't get much funkier than this.

    Mamma Mia - Abba Billy Connolly? Come off it.
