1. Scott Walker - The Rope and The Colt
http://www.last.fm/music/Scott+Walker/_/The+Rope+And+The+Cell?autostart
(a stupid person thinks it's called 'The Rope and The Cell'
2. Benjamin Britten - 'Balulalow' from A Ceremony of Carols
http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=6e8IaIUQP64
(Warning - hilarous choristers. I used to hang out with these boys. Weird)
3. Joni Mitchell - Song for Sharon

4. Ivor Cutler - I Believe In Bugs
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_SyQaGdABcE
(you get a free bonus cover version on this one)
5. Prince - I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man
Prince is absurdly litigious so you'd better seek this one out. You've got the horn so why don't you blow it?
6. Maurice Ravel - 'Laideronnette, Imperatrice des Pagodes' from the Mother Goose Suite
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=dvob8dGhYGU
(this is not the orchestral version - it's some little girls playing it on a piano in a park in Manhattan . It's actually loverly)
7. Talking Heads - This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ITC2qdxXQXA
Honourable mentions:
Patti Smith - Gloria
The Isley Brothers - Let Me In Your Life
David Bowie - Be My Wife
Scott Walker - Jackie
Bob Dylan - Nobody 'Cept You
Bach - Cello Suite No 2, Prelude
NB There was some contention about the number of tracks you're allowed on DID. It's actually 8. I was WRONG. I've never been good with numbers. Some people took 7, some greedy pedants took 8. There you go.
