5: Rock Around the Clock, the 2 Beatles' tunes, & the 2 Elvis tunes. All on vinyl. I'm sure I have White Christmas here somewhere, but if I have Bing's version, it's on cassette... Dolly Parton wrote the Whitney hit--if it sold 10 million, how much cash did Dolly get?

Diana doesn't ring a bell. I've never heard of that I Do It For You. And I'd like to own I'm A Believer.

But really, I wish I was at the Treefort show tonight, talk about great songs! Wanna babysit?
