“I Don’t Want to Be” by Gavin DeGraw

I don’t need to be anything other than a prison guard’s son
I don’t need to be anything other than a specialist’s son
I don’t have to be anyone other than the birth of two souls in one

Part of where I’m going is knowing where I’m coming from

I don’t want to be anything
Other than what I’ve been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I’m tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t want to be anything other than me

I’m surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I’m surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I’m surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one to notice?
I can’t be the only one who’s learned

I don’t want to be anything
Other than what I’ve been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I’m tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t want to be anything other than me

Can I have everyone’s attention please
If you’re not like this and that
You’re gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay to stone
And now I’m telling everybody

I don’t want to be anything
Other than what I’ve been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I’m tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t want to be anything other than me
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be

“Long Way To Go” by Alan Jackson

Well I drove down to the ocean
Left my heartache way behind
But the rain won’t leave and the pain won’t ease
And the sun don’t wanna shine

So I ordered me up a killer
Found a view out across the sea
I sat down in the sand
A drink in my hand
And in the glass looking back at me

I got a bug in my margarita
Seems bad luck won’t leave me alone
I got a woman I’m tryin’ to drink away
And I got a long, long way to go
Yeah, I got a long, long way to go

Well I met an old boy from Georgia
Yeah, his woman done knocked him down
I asked him how’s he doing
He stared at me confused
And said, “Hey, ain’t you looked around?”

He said the rain won’t leave
And the pain won’t ease
And the sun don’t wanna shine
And there’s something in the bottom of this drink I just got
And it don’t look like a worm to me

I got a bug in my margarita
Seems bad luck won’t leave me alone
I got a woman I’m tryin’ to drink away
And I got a long, long way to go
Yeah, I got a long, long way to go

So we put our drinks together
And toasted rainy weather
And the women that had done us wrong
Then we threw back margaritas
The bug just made it sweeter
And we both sang a happy song

I got a bug in my margarita
Seems bad luck won’t leave me alone
I got a woman I’m tryin’ to drink away
And I got a long, long way to go

Yeah, I got a bug in my margarita
Seems bad luck won’t leave me alone
I got a woman I’m tryin’ to drink away
And I got a long, long way to go

Yeah, I got a bug in my margarita
Seems bad luck won’t leave me alone
I got a woman I’m tryin’ to drink away
And I got a long, long way to go
Yeah, I got a long, long way to go

“Life in a Northern Town” by the Dream Academy

A Salvation Army band played
And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day, all day
And through an open window came

Like Sinatra in a younger day
Pushing the town away, away

[Chorus]
Heya’ ma ma ma, into the night
Hey ma ma ma, hey, ah
Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma ma

They sat on the stony ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down to listen
It was the winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles, yeah, yeah

[Chorus: x2]

The evening had turned to rain
Watched the water roll down the drain
As they followed him down, to the station
And he would never wave goodbye
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train pulled out of sight, right by

Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ah
Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
Life in a northern town
Ah-hey ma ma ma, take it easy on yourself
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ah
Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma ma
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ah
Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma ma
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ah
Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma ma

“Electric Love” by Megan Mullally, Kevin Kline, Eugene Mirman, Kristen Schaal, H. Jon Benjamin, Mark Proksch, Nora Smith, John Roberts, Larry Murphy, Dan Mintz, and Loren Bouchard from Bob’s Burgers

[Mr. Fischoeder]
They say Thomas Edison
He’s the man to get us
Into this century
And that man is me

[Gayle]
They’ll say “Aw, Topsy!”
At my autopsy
And no one could be
More shocked than me

[Mr. Fischoeder]
But I never noticed the curve of her trunk

[Gayle]
And I never noticed his electric junk

[Mr. Fischoeder and Gayle]
We might just have found
Electric love
Electric love
Electric love

Electric love
(First he wanted to kill her off)
Now they’ve found an electric love)
Electric love
(First he wanted to kill her off
Now they’ve found an electric love)
Fits like a glove

“There’s Something About Mary” by Jonathan Richman from There’s Something About Mary

His friends say stop whining,
They’ve had enough of that.
His friends would say stop pining,
There’s others girls to look at.

They’ve tried to set him up with Tiffany and Indigo,
But there’s something about Mary that they don’t know.

Mary, there’s just something about Mary.
Well, his friends say, look life’s no fairy tale,
That he should have some fun, he’s suffered long enough.
Well, they may now about domestic and imported ale,
But they don’t know a thing about love.

Well, his friends would say he’s dreaming
And living in the past,
But they’ve never fallen in love,
So his friends need not be asked.

His friends would say be reasonable,
His friends would say just let go,
But there’s something about Mary that they don’t know.

Mary, there’s just something about Mary.
