A very old, less known, and wildly special song before the maximally meteoric rise, and a cover by a band that was — and still is — there through it all. Cry for a Shadow, originally by the Beatles, covered by The Ventures.

Outro music is Walk, Don’t Run, also by The Ventures.

One of the greatest protest songs and just plain old songs ever recorded is tragically germane across the decades. What’s Going On, originally by Marvin Gaye, covered by Cyndi Lauper, and by Los Lobos.

A song that seemed to come out of nowhere and take over the whole world is a lot more than just well formulated pop, and a cover from a secret band. Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye featuring Kimbra, covered by Army of Three. 

Outro music is The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson.
