6. Frank Zappa - "Peaches En Regalia"
7. Lotte Lenya - "Ballad of Mack The Knife"
8. The B-52's - "Rock Lobster"
9. The Avalanches - "Gimix"
10. Orange Factory - "Open Your Box (Club Mix)
11. Sean Lennon - "Into The Sun"
12. Beastie Boys - "Intergalactic"

"Do I have a favourite Beatles track? Well... I could name them all. I
think John's stuff when he was a Beatles was very interesting. But I
would get into Paul's stuff too. He's a very talented guy. Fool On The
Hill, for instance - not the most important song he ever wrote, but it's
a beautiful song. It's genuine, there's depth to it. People want to take
sides. If they're into John, they're exclusively into John, but I think
Paul's songs are equally important."

"Because there wasn't any reason left to keep it all inside"

I love that quote from Yoko! It shows how mature she can be.

She did write "Open Your Box."

I thought she would've picked "Imagine."

Yoko's CD wouldn't spend too much time in &lt;i&gt;my&lt;/i&gt; CD player.

------------------
I'd like to thank you on behalf of the group, and hope we pass the audition.
