This is a compilation of Nilsson involved songs wich I gathered over the past years. Most of them are not very common, a few are collectors items, some are weird, a few are mashed-up but all are great.
-
01 A mash-up of "Just Let Go in LA" & "One" by DJ Earthworm.
02 A mash-up of "Starry Eyed Surprise" & "Everybody's Talking" by Paul Oakenfold.
03 This cover of "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" was recorded for Hal Willner's 1988 tribute album Stay Awake: Various Interpretations of Music from Vintage Disney Films. Nilsson donated his performance royalties from the song to the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. This is the complete track including Sun Ra's track "Technicolor Pachyderms"
04 The Heebeegeebees - Oh Me (What more can I say) is a parody on Nilssons' humming.
05 In 1974 Harry and Phil Spector wrote "A love like yours" together. Harry recorded it in 1975 with Cher and nicked the duo "Nilssonny & Cher" refering to the former partner of Cher, Sonny.
