When he played Dirty Old Town in Providence it was amazing. I'd love to relive that moment.

Just thought of two that fit

Panic - the smiths

Ripple - Grateful Dead so at least there is one song AP Mike likes unless there is a love theme from Stroszek

A friend who's a huge Ted Leo fan but isn't familiar with the show said she'd like to hear any of the following Billy Bragg songs:

Levi Stubb's Tears
Valentine's Day Is Over
Shirley
Which Side Are You On
New England

Or either of the following Teddy originals:

Timorous Me
Ballad of Sin Eater

How about some Phil Ochs for the older FOT:  "Draft-Dodger Rag," "Power and Glory," "One More Parade," "I Ain't Marching Anymore," or--a sentimental, nonpolitical favorite of mine--"The Highwayman"?

Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

"Live the Life" by The Oblivians

"Umbrella" by Rihanna (Hey, his Kelly Clarkson cover was pretty amazing, so why not?)

But thats more of a song for piano.

Cover the sopranos theme song to begin the show.  If there is a webcam this year than everyone has to smoke cigars during it.
