Then I think the world, as a collective, would skip the Buffy Sainte-Marie track. But yowling alley cats would LOVE it.
And maybe banshees as well.
And Michael Jackson.

I unfortunatly would skip all of them and go straight to Jonatha Brooke. Depending on Heart's song I may stop their first :)

Oh Becky, you know you would actually skip straight to the Barbra Steisand, just like the rest of the world...
