I would be hard pressed -- I've tried to compile a "greatest hits" CD and can never narrow it down that far.

 

My kids have picked up on various songs listening in the car and we actually have catch phrases from various lyrics that are used around the house. My youngest loves Fingertips and recites snippets out of the blue.

 

I test drove a Mitsuibishi Spyder, so for weeks the kids would be repeating "Spyder -- he is our hero! uhh ...."

Youth Culture Killed My Dog

We Want A Rock

Narrow Your Eyes

Nothing's Gonna Change My Clothes

Mammal

 

Those are just the first five I could think of. This probably reflects that I currently only have three of their albums (TMBG, Flood, and Apollo 18) on my drive here at work, so that's what I tend to listen to.

 

Tomorrow I'd probably list a completely different five.

 

edit: I could just list any five of the "Fingertips" sequence. Especially "Come On And Wreck My Car."

I can't do 5, and these are in chronological order because I can't put them in order by favorite:

 

Don't Let's Start

Ana Ng

Particle Man

I Palindrome I

She's Actual Size

All of Fingertips (especially "Please Pass The Milk" and "Aren't You The Guy Who Hit Me In The Eye")

The Statue Got Me High

Why Does The Sun Shine

 

 

And damnit, I don't have my iPod here at work today. I want to listen to Apollo 18 now!
