Most votes award from last article is MR!

First up, suggested by Pfenix Quinn, we have a song cover that I didn't know I needed. Here is Ruthie Foster with "War Pigs"! Congrats, and thanks for showing me something awesome!

Special mention to Thee Dude's suggestion of the original

For second place, we do have a tie here.

First up, we have Frank Stone's suggestion of Edwin Starr's "War", performed live in 2001. This song never gets old for me.

And here's him doing it with Bruce Springsteen, filmed on a max-zoomed potato from the back row of a concert venue

Last up, we have a suggestion from Iamnameless: "Ukulele Weeps" (Uke version of "While my guitar gently weeps") by Jake Shimabukuro. This is a nice and relaxing one, I enjoyed it.

So that's our 3 song suggestions out of the way. Now for some picks from yours truly.

I feel like making it an "internet sensations" theme this time around.

Here's a song from a band I used to listen to a lot, but never thought I'd hear them on the radio until this song actually got played last month. I present to you: "Birdhouse in your Soul" by They Might Be Giants

Speaking of internet sensations, Bill Wurtz is a guy that's incredibly good at throwing stuff together in a nonconventional way and making it actually sound good. Here's "La de da de da de da de day oh", which was actually my ringtone for a period of time.

That was 5 songs, but I love music, so here's one more.

Who was on youtube in 2008? Who remembers Ray William Johnson? Who remembers when he started a band with cartoon personas, and actually came out with some passably good singles (among others that aged like fine milk)?

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Here's "Take Over the World" from Your Favorite Martian

Oh wow, there's so much on that channel. Here's "Orphan Tears"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=929sn1qMCcM
And "Club Villain"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB2BKdgSW4U

I am at a loss for words, trying to decide how each of these has aged.

Well, I've kept you guys long enough.

Till next time!
Stay Jazzy 😎
