If somebody else were marooned on a desert island, what songs would you give them?

I'm loading my brother's iPod (see previous friends-locked post), and [livejournal.com profile] the_magician suggested I poll you for ideas of "fun/weird/indispensible track[s]" to add to it. Preferably ones where an mp3 is available.

So, any suggestions?

I have no business reviewing ballet. Not even comic ballet where all the ballerinas are men. So I just have six things to say:


  1. Who'd have thought it was possible to make ballet even gayer?
  2. I'm glad I was seated in a box; that way there were only three neighbours to look alarmed and mildly annoyed when I couldn't stop laughing during the Bach/Balanchine "Go for Barocco".
  3. The moulting dying swan is just as funny as the reviews have said.
  4. I'm glad I caught the alternate program, with Les Sylphides instead of Swan Lake Act 2, because it suddenly occurred to me that I've seen Swan Lake several times, but always with male swans. After the third time, I think it'd start to look as if I have some kind of bizarre fetish.
  5. It might be hilarious, but these are still Proper Ballet Dancers, and they can still wow you when they want to.
  6. No, but really, how much gayer can ballet possibly get?

Comics fans may have already met him, but I hadn't. Gacked from Language Log.

(Well, [livejournal.com profile] tinyjo did tell me I should post more...)
