Please god, say it isn’t so!

This news report made me gag:

Scarlett Johansson to release album of Tom Waits covers

and, while I’m still aghast at that, I give you several songs that are now illegal[1] to play:

1. Tom Traubert’s Blues – Rod Stewart
2. Downtown Train – Rod Stewart
3. Ol’55 – Sarah McLachlan
4. Ol’55 – The Eagles
5. Jersey Girl – Bruce Springsteen
6. Anything by Holly Cole
7. I Hope that I don’t Fall in Love with You – Hootie and the Blowfish
