I hesitate to go for the next one because I'd be surprised if you would set something so old, but hey, you never know, and it is the definitive version

Well goddamn.

I do have a backup for no. 1 in that I know Lana del Rey did a cover version, maybe that's the one you want.

Empty At The End is maddeningly familiar as a title but I can't think who it is.

none of the tracks are covers afaik.

i did suspect that empty at the end would be the easiest, given the tastes and ages of the forum.

Blimey, you must be going waaaay back for Blue Velvet then, the Vinton version was a cover and that was early 1960s. Unless it's a completely different song also called Blue Velvet of course.


Anyway I'll leave this list for others I think!

I can’t even figure out the theme. rofl

Blue Velvet is a David Lynch film. Best of Friends is from The Fox and the Hound. Knifey Spoony is either a Simpsons reference or a huge coincidence. But that’s not even a link, let alone the other 7.
