I love #8. She performed it just how i had imagined it. She can still get a ring from me if she sang this to me.
And #11 is legendary. I’ll never forget when I was introduced to the song and my friend said that i should read the lyrics. And although I can go and see dolphins and the sun…it seriously affected my younger self. Thanks Rodney!

Oh, baby, I don’t want nobody/Nobody kissing you but me

Cause you are my starship/Come take me up tonight/And don’t be late/And don’t you come to sooooon lol
