The Top 4 Theme is California Songs/Songs I Wish I Had Written

So the top 4 theme is apparently another dual theme: Artists of Bands from California and Songs I Wish I Had Written. For the first theme, does that mean we can get a rousing acoustic performance of Katy Perry's "California Girls" from Phil Phillips? We hope so! For the second theme, I think we all wish we'd written anything on VFTW's worst songs of the year lists. So many to choose from!

What a random and all-kinds-of-horrible theme.... although it could also be kind of awesome if they try songs like "Dani California" (RHCP), "Beverly Hills" (Weezer), or "Folsom Prison Blues" (Johnny Cash).

Well he does do Lil' Wayne's Lollipop. Don't think AI will let him do a song about oral sex tho.

Hmmm. This opens up the Eagles catalog to our depredations. I can see Joshua attempting the Etta James "Take It To The Limit." PAH-LEEZE NO Mikalah


Songs I would like to see:

"Forgot About Dre"

"Let Me Blow Ya Mind," Eve & Gwen Stefani

Any Sublime song

Grateful Dead? If so, I repeat that I want Philsquared to do "Touch Of Grey."


Other bands in play: Everclear, Jefferson Airplane/Starship, No Doubt, Sheryl Crow I think, Sonny & Cher?

Yes! And then get Jessica to do the Arlo Guthrie version of "Comin' into Los Angeleeze." (I know the Guthries are not from California, but its a California drug song, so as long as they are dressing her as a whore, they may as well let her sing as a crack whore. Too harsh? Live with it.)


I would pay money to see Hollie try Grace Slick's "White Rabbit." I am getting weak knees just imagining her singing "Feed your head, feed your head," as Steven just nods along (beautifully).


Nothing to suggest for Miss Josh, as I just want her to stfu. She'll murder whatever she does, so sure, let her take a Cher song. It can be a double homicide or a murder-suicide that way. Oh, but for his songs he wished he'd written, I bet the Kinks' "Lola" and Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side" are near the top of her list. It just hit me: for Miss Josh, "She's my Man" by the Scissors Sisters." No, "What it Feels Like For a Girl" (Madonna). No, Garbage's "Androgony." Reel Big Fish, "She's Got a Grilfriend now"? The Pipettes' "Judy"? Peaches' "The Boys Wanna Be Her"? The hits just keep coming.Laugh

Joshua really needs to be dipping into the Sylvester song book, by which I mean "You Are My Friend" a song made popular by Miss Labelle. Speaking of which is Labelle considered a California band?
