    Theme from Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence - Ryuichi Sakamoto
  • Oklahoma
    They Call the Wind Maria
    I Got Plenty of Nuthin .. all fifties oldies from the golden age of musicals

    Green Door .. lots of different versions .. look up Wynder K Frogg
    Wandering Star Eastwood/and the other bloke
