Yo La Tengo’s WFMU call-in covers set just ended – it’s been really fun. A partial list of what they played – nearly everything is in here, save for the handful that I didn’t know, and didn’t catch the titles…

The Kinks “Johnny Thunder”

ESG “You’re No Good”

Patti Smith “Dancing Barefoot”

The Ramones “Rockaway Beach”

T-Rex “20th Century Boy”

w/ DJ Hova – Rod Stewart “Do You Think I’m Sexy?”

Three Dog Night “Old Fashioned Love Song”

The Monkees “Pleasant Valley Sunday”

The Stooges “Search and Destroy”

“Meet The Mets”

The Rutles “Cheese and Onions”

Tiffany “I Think We’re Alone Now”

w/ a little girl on vocals on the telephone – The Ramones “I Don’t Wanna Walk Around With You”

Big Star “September Gurls”

Prince “When Doves Cry”

Four Tops “Build Me Up Buttercup” (excellent!)

Bacchmann Turner Overdrive “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” (also excellent!)

Cheap Trick “I Want You To Want Me”

a big medley including a big chunk of Sonic Youth “Schizophrenia”

If I had the enough spare cash to offer up the $60 it would take to get YLT to play a song for me, I think I would choose one of these four songs – I’d probably just pick my choice out of a hat :

Pavement “Rattled By La Rush”

Jandek “European Jewel (Incomplete)”

Destiny’s Child “Bootylicious”

Michael Jackson “Man In The Mirror”

There’s always next year…
