Broken Record
You’ll enjoy this more if you’re old enough to have actually had a broken record. Full lyrics HERE.
A Groovy Hi-Fi
I’m sure I’ve posted this before, but it’s such a happy song I’m posting it again. If you only know Hugh Laurie as an actor, you’re in for a treat. Full lyrics HERE.

And forgetting the love we bring
This is Deadhead (and former Senator) Al Franken’s favorite version of Althea: Full lyrics HERE.
But I’d Rather Be With You…
Full lyrics HERE. Old Jerry had a much more expressive voice than Young Jerry. (And poor Phil looks like a sixth-grader in gym class in those oversized blue shorts.)
Beauty I’ve Always Missed/With These Eyes Before…
An absolutely gorgeous version of this song! Full lyrics HERE.
