Cibo Matto - Sugar Water: 8

Catchy, slightly weird and a little sexy. Cool discovery!

Much better than Tenet!

tUnE-yArDs – Es-so: 6
Close to annoying, but in the end it doesn't cross that line and becomes upbeat. Still, it is not one of their stand-out songs in my view.

Most of us know the Vince Guaraldi Trio from the iconic soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Christmas, but SL3 introduces us to one of their tracks inspired by the more Summer-ready film Black Orpheus. The song is bubblin’ under on AM.

209. Vince Guaraldi Trio – Cast Your Fate to the Wind
Year: 1962
Album: Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus
Biggest Fan: SL3 (#872)

Vince Guaraldi Trio – Cast Your Fate to the Wind: 7
Perhaps it is because it has been a long time since I saw Black Orpheus, but this song which is seemingly inspired by its soundtrack doesn't remind me of that film at all. It does remind me of, yes, A Charlie Brown Christmas. It has that seem bright lightness that made me fall for that soundtrack. Apparently it was today's track that got the Guaraldi Trio hired for the Peanuts soundtrack. It is almost as good as the highlight from that album. The only downside is that it seems to kind of flag at the end. Otherwise, cool song.

Expect the results for the first 200 songs tomorrow!

The second appearance by The Beatles is a song that is not on Acclaimed Music, not even bubblin’ under. We have to give it to stone37 that they were able to find one of these.

210. The Beatles – I’m Down
Year: 1965
Single: B-Side to Help!
Biggest Fan: stone37 (#477)

One of those blues songs in Beatle style. They did better in this mode, but it is fun.

I'm a sucker for this type of medieval-through-the-1970's type of thing.

A downgrade:
tUnE-yArDs – Es-so: 4
I've been listening to the Biggest Fan playlist on Random while working on the top 100 and this song played twice and I started to notice that I became increasingly annoyed by it, while most songs grow on me even a little.

It’s been a long while since JamieW had their last turn. There were none between 100 and 200 in fact! However the last one was #1 charter How Not to Drown. Can they repeat or even top that success with Shakin’ Stevens?

212. Shakin’ Stevens – Because I Love You
Year: 1986
Album: Let’s Boogie
Biggest Fan: jamieW (#475)

Don't dislike it as much as Rob, but I do agree that this song gets a bit on my nerves.
209. Vince Guaraldi Trio – Cast Your Fate to the Wind: 6
Harmless little tune. Could take it or leave it.

211. Steeleye Span – All Things Are Quite Silent: 7.5
212. Shakin’ Stevens – Because I Love You: 2
Don't know the artist at all and expected a blues artist seeing his name and just having heard I'm Down. Well, that was a bit of a letdown...

At least it tries to do something different from the original. But unfortunately it's not an improvement. Sounds very much of it's age.

I know basically all of the words to this song thanks to campfire singalongs. I'd like a stripped down cover sometime — I much prefer it to Dylan's song.

Likeable, but I suspect this will end up quite forgettable.

Rod Stewart – Forever Young: 3
No, I don't think this even comes close to the Dylan version. I mean, the original is by nature of its subject a bit sentimental, but Stewart turns it into pure schmaltz of the worst variety. It's hard to still sound sincere with a sound like this.

There is no easy way to put this, but Renan’s previous two entries in the game have been among the worst received. Time to get back into race and who better to help than the much respected Frank Ocean? The song is bubblin’ under on AM.
