Bitch- Rolling Stones
One of the greatest b-sides ever! Would this have been a smash in 1971 if it was an a-side?

Oh Daddy- The Turtles
A favorite off of my favorite Turtles album. I've said it before, if you think The Turtles were just a singles band, you should check out some of their albums, especially "The Battle Of The Bands." Do it!

Poor Little Girl- George Harrison
One of the new tracks included on "The Best Of Dark Horse" collection, not a greatest hits album exactly, but still a terrific set of music that I play almost as much as The Who's "Meaty, Beaty, Big & Bouncy."

Chevrolet Van- The Nude Party
Another from my new favorite band, this is from their debut. Listen to the words, you youngsters!

Rita- Los Lobos
I love the groove and vibe of this one. 

Get A Grip- NRBQ
One of my favorite Big Al guitar solos. A real burner!

Every Day Is Exactly The Same- Nine Inch Nails
I've posted a number of NIN tunes here. Most met with a deafening silence. Maybe Trent Reznor is not your cup of tea. But if you ever felt like diving in, "With Teeth" is his masterpiece and most accessible.

I remember being at the long-gone and sorely missed H&H Barbecue in Athens, Alabama while visiting relatives there in 1971, when I was twelve or thirteen. The H&H was a regular eatery for our family gatherings. My brother, Cousin Joe and I spotted 'Bitch' in the jukebox as the B-side of 'Brown Sugar', and spent a hefty part of our stay there daring each other to play it with the solitary dime we had between us. :D Good times.

Back when Letterman was still on the air, one night he had Richard Simmons on as a guest, during one of the periods when they were still engaged in a "feud." Paul Schaffer's music to accompany Simmons walking out onto the stage was Bitch.

Other than being confused by the your re-titling it to Songs of the Day 2020, it's another fine SOTW zip. Hard to go wrong with the Stones or the Turtles. Whilst the hardcore industrial grind of NIN is not for everybody I admit to liking a lot of their stuff since you first posted a track or three some time ago. So, many thanks & cheers!

Dogbreath,
Oops.
Fixed.
Thank you.

Cool choices. "Oh Daddy" made me think of the song of the same title by Adrian Belew, a sweet little ditty. Challenge: great songs with the same title. :) And your praise of the George Harrison Dark Horse collection is obviously of the highest praise!

Would it be churlish of me, Mr N, to point out it still says 2020? (Yes, it would - Ed). Never mind - anyone would think it's old age catching up on you. Cheers!

Dogbreath,
I hang my head.

Head hang no more. To paraphrase that classic Argent tune (before they sing "woman!" anyway): Hold your head up. Have a super day...........
