They are "Face Pollution" and "Hands All Over". Actually, as far as sacrilege goes, Soundgarden has a little something for everybody... Bill - --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Or some of Dave Mallet's songs, though I can't think of the title of the one I'm thinking of. Mallet's a wonderful songwriter. - -lee ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 14:11:05 EST From: LBECKLAW@aol.com Subject: [RS] Re: being green My favorite eco-friendly song is by Talking Heads, but I don't know the title. Dollars says you listers (who a recent critic acclaimed as "brainest list on the web"!) will know the title, but it goes like this: "This was a parking lot, now it's covered by flowers..." dum da da dee dum....one of my top faves! Laura (still thinking hard about wedding songs, stuck on Peter Paul and Mary's Wedding Song and Van Morrison "Have I Told You Lately" )...my own wedding songs were "Lil Darlin" (Count Basie) and that pretty love song by Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville, another forgotten title. "I don't know much, but I know I love you, da dee dah" take it to the bridge... Yes, married twice, you hawk-like observant brainiacs! {g}... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 14:16:48 EST From: LBECKLAW@aol.com Subject: [RS] Re: I second that emotion I have to agree with Lee's nomination of "True Companion" as a great wedding song. I also love Sting's "Fields of Gold" but have a feeling that it's more about love lost (and not found) and kind of melancholy/wistful for a wedding. But the song moves me so every time I hear it...can't say why. Congrats to all of you fiances and fiancee lovebirds, by the way! Is anyone else feeling a bit heady that we're serving as wedding and ecology consultants to all of these people?

Now I gotta dash--there's a shuffleboard tournament at 3 that I have to get ready for. Laura ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 14:32:05 EST From: Pfleary@aol.com Subject: [RS] nothing but flowers Great song, Laura. It's called "Nothing But Flowers" and is on the last studio album the Talking Heads did together, "Naked."

Correct me if I'm wrong. Arno ------------------------------ End of shindell-list-digest V4 #23 **********************************
