The Best Songs in the (Fictional) Universe

(1) like life in general, needs more Spinal Tap

(2) Tap should be ranked higher

Seriously, no Rutles? What in the fucking fuck?

Fuck, can’t believe I didn’t catch that

No "Scotty Doesn't Know?" What the hell? I will say that Shea Serrano, the co-writer of that article, is really funny and insightful. His books on rap and basketball are a blast.

Read the list just to make sure Dewey Cox was (rightfully) included.

No Partridge family? Author is probably still pissed that they replaced Jeremy Gelbwaks after season one.

No "Sex Farm"? Trash.

For me that is Stonehenge...... where the demons dwell, where the banshees live and they do live well

Damn, dropping some deep knowledge. Bravo!!!

No Bob Roberts or Tender Mercies (too early in morning for me to check to see if songs in Tender Mercies meets their criteria)

While their choice from CB4 (hilarious film) is great, I would have gone with Sweat of My Balls

Ahem.

That is an unforgivable omission. I had to go back and look, I thought for sure they had a Nashville song in their. I think the exceptions we are taking with their choices show how much older than them we are

And also why aren't they in the fucking rock and roll hall of fame, too?

^^^^I shoulda thought of that one. Good show, RolanK!

It only came out a year before their A Star Is Born choice, but I take your point nonetheless. It explains how they missed this gem from the sixties!



And this even earlier classic!

To be fair to them, it does say right in the subheader that they are referring to songs in film/movies

I would have to go berserker if they were including TV and left out this epic

"Workin' on a sex farm, hosing down your barn door, bothering your livestock" might be the best line ever penned.
