dumb ideas for mix CDs

I was listening to the Spoon CD on the way home last night (at an ATM, a little girl asked "mummy, why's that man wearing big headphones ?"), and when all the pretty girls go to the city came on I thought "hey ! somebody ought to do a mix CD of songs where people go doo doo doo, ba ba ba, and so on." Without having done any actual research so far, I can think of a few other candidates - Grandview's by your side, a few Luna tracks, Stereolab's Miss Modular and even something by Jack Frost (called Birdowner (as seen on TV)). These aren't, however, definitive songs of this "category", and I wonder what songs would be considered such.

I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of Things^TM.

but there's other things worth worrying about too, like :
