That's a great little song. I think maybe I stopped listening to CCR so much when I found out my dad was a big fan.

Here's a few that I haven't seen listed:

"Midnight Special" - Little Richard The Right Reverand Richard Penniman does a pretty good imitation of a train whistle...

"Blues in the Night" - Cab Calloway One of the coolest songs ever written for the movies, as performed by probably the coolest human to have ever lived.

"London" - The Smiths The definitive version, from their live album Rank. Your dad probably won't like it, but it's a helluva fun song to play.
