SONGS FOR HURRICANE SEASON


This is the lame list that the New Yorker gives:

THE IPOD OF THE HURRICANE: SONGS FOR A WINDY WEEKEND
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has called for caution. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has declared a state of emergency. And as Hurricane Irene moves up the East Coast, worried citizens are stocking up on supplies. In light of that, here is our Hurricane Irene playlist. We have excluded the Scorpions’s “Rock You Like a Hurricane,” Neil Young’s “Like a Hurricane,” and The Doors’ “Riders on the Storm.” Song choices are not meant to undermine the potential severity of the storm and should not be considered appropriate substitutes for water, canned goods, and batteries.

1. Wynonie Harris, “She’s Gone with the Wind”
2. The Delfonics, “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)”
3. Ella Fitzgerald, “Ill Wind (You’re Blowing Me No Good)”
4. Robin Williams, “Blow Me Down”
5. The Carpenters, “Rainy Days and Mondays”
6. Tom Waits, “Blow Wind Blow”
7. Ian Hunter, “Irene Wilde”
8. Bob Dylan, “Ballad in Plain D”

WHAT? And they wonder why they are not like us???
