12) Jane Siberry - Suspended in Gaffa
   'I couldn't really find a track where I could sort of just talk
   in the middle but this one seemed to work pretty well with my
   Olive Oil does Laurie Anderson routine.'

13) Laurie Anderson - Experiment IV
    (Actually a four minute political message with no relation
    whatsoever to the Kate Bush track.)
    'I won't make as much for this track as Phil Collins did for
    his until the year 3000.'

14) Warren Zevon - Ran Tan Waltz
   'I figured it would be another good one to get censored on the
    Letterman show.'

15) Spinal Tap - Nice to Swallow (Love Pump Mix)
   'We did it in G.  I really think that G is the saddest of all
    keys, don't you?'

16) Caterwaul - Don't Put Your Foot on the Heartbrake
   'A difficult track to get down.  Mark's effect boxes kept
   blowing all the fuses and Betsy's nose plugs kept falling out.'

17) Happy Rhodes - Full House
   'I've been working on my Kate imitation for years and it's
   nice to finally have a chance to use it with some decent music.'

             To hire aboriginals to work the opal mines
             But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut
             And whisked away their workman's comp and pauperised the lot"
