    Oh, Will, that is so perfect! "Stairway to Heaven" is a song everyone knows, *and* that no one has listened to for years. As well, since we'll have a problem even getting to an hour, a long song is a bonus.

    The connection with May is tenuous, but it's there. I'm thinking of making the connection stronger by framing STH with "May Queen" songs. In fact, I'm thinking of leading into it by putting this song right before it, leading into it:

    Robert Plant - The May Queen

    I just played the whole thing, and timed it: 76 minutes, which is as good as one could ask.

    I love Liz Phair, or did around thirty years ago.

    Don't remember that one, offhand, though.

    I wish I could find a better video. A lyric video of the original would be best; I found 3 live performances, but they're all mixed badly and I can't make out her words. It's a placeholder, at least; if a better video ever turns up, I can swap it out.

    But I did some reading today and ran into this song: there's only one reference to May in the lyrics, but it's probably pop music's most famous one, so it has to be included:

    The Temptations, My Girl

    MD mentioned that, too. Personally, I don't like the idea; I don't think there's enough video online to select from. I can't remember more than five songs. But I remember thinking that about Belafonte, too, originally.

    Maybe I'm overthinking it, or maybe I'm too focussed on the YT playlists. The Dancehalls used to be places where we could each post our favorite videos here, and later on fb, and that was it, three to ten songs. There's no reason other than my YT
    obsession that a Dancehall has to be any more than that. Thanks for bringing it up on a Thursday; there's still some time to think about it.
