The Israelites - Desmond Dekker: Old school fun.

Got to Give it Up - Marvin Gaye: This song actually physically relaxes me.

You know what? Sometimes I very much dislike your taste in music--when you get all emo and sensitive--but this week? This week you are ALL OVER IT. Shut up and let me go? Valerie? Kate Nash? Beck? YES, YES, and more YES.
Ooook, not sure what happened to my computer there, but I deleted all those duplicate comments. Sorry folks.
Great list, Valerie s one of the greatest covers ever.
O, and thanks for commenting on my blog. Why do I bother?
