Never heard of 2 and 4.

How about: 6. The Byrds - Chestnut Mare

"Leave My Kitten Alone" was written by Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Little Willie John, who also wrote the old standard "Fever". I used to work with his son, Kevin. The Beatles also have a version, on Anthology I.

Jim: The first Monkees song was from the very first album. All The Kings Horses, written by Nesmith was on one of the Missing Links CDs and then ended up on the remaster of either The Monkees Or More Of The Monkees, I can't remember which one right now.

The Stray Cat Strut is one of my favorite swing dance tunes, along with Elvis Presley's "Return to Sender."
