Songs that say ‘Good riddance!’ – Show #185 (part 2), 31 January 2021
Katie is in the mood to bid ‘Good riddance!’ to 2020 and some of the things in it, so she gets her New York correspondent, Mark Blankenship, on the line to talk about a few songs on that subject. A couple of the songs are gleeful, a couple are wistful, and one is downright strange! Here is the playlist:
- Untouchable Face (live) – Ani DiFranco
- You’re Moving Out Today – Carole Bayer Sager
- I’m Gone – Dolly Parton
- I Hope I Never – Split Enz
- Fuck You – Lily Allen
- Good Luck – Ella Eyre
