Fish or Fowl
Fish or fowl: 43 tracks of birds, sharks, and whatever else is biting. Birdhouse in Your Soul and Rock Lobster up front, a five-song shark run from Split Enz to Diane Coffee, Fisherman's Blues and Fishing Blues for the anglers, Surfin' Bird twice (the Trashmen, then Big Bird), Free Bird, and Morris Day's The Bird to close. Appendix: Twin Peaks, WKRP, Enormous Wings, and four beers.
