1 You Will Be My Ain True Love by Alison Krauss from Cold Mountain Soundtrack

This movie was saved from cheesy-hell by being so self-conscious in its cheesiness.

You'll walk unscathed through musket fire ° No ploughman's blade will cut thee down ° No cutler's horn will mark thy face ° And you will be my ain true love ° And you will be my ain true love

And as you walk through death's dark veil ° The cannon's thunder can't prevail ° And those who hunt thee down will fail ° And you will be my ain true love ° And you will be my ain true love.

Asleep inside the cannon's mouth ° The captain cries, "Here comes the rout," ° They'll seek to find me north and south ° I've gone to find my ain true love.

The field is cut and bleeds to red ° The cannon balls fly 'round my head ° The infirmary man may count me dead ° When I've gone to find my ain true love ° I've gone to find my ain true love.

2 All Night (Don’t Stop) - Janet Jackson from Damita Jo

This song – played really loud – is a great high.

Work it like you're working a pole ° Shake it 'til you're shaking the floor ° Pop it like you're poppin' a cork ° Don't stop, don’t stop ° Jerk it like you're making it choke ° Break it like you're breakin' a code ° Drop it, drop it ° This is serious ° I'm delirious ° So oblivious ° I could dance all night … with you ° As long as it's funky ° This rhythm just makes me high ° I'm like a junkie ° I could dance all night

So intoxicating ° I'm so stimulated ° Feel so x-rated ° I could dance all night ° As long as it's funky ° This rhythm just makes me high ° I'm like a junkie ° I could dance all night

3 School Spirit - Kanye West from the College Dropout

 Does the Aretha Franklin sample and the “woo” business at the end make up for the misogyny in this song?

 Alpha step Omega step ° Kappa step Sigma step ° Gangstas walk, pimps gon' talk ° Oooh hecky naw that boy is raw ° A-K-A step Delta step ° S-G-Rho step Zeta step ° Gangstas walk, pimps gon' talk ° Oooh hecky naw that boy is raw

I'ma get on this TV, momma ° I'ma, I'ma break shit down ° I'ma make sure these light skinned niggaz ° Never ever never come back in style ° Told 'em I finished school, and I started my own business ° They say, 'Oh you graduated?' ° No, I decided I was finished ° Chasin' y'all dreams and what you've got planned ° Now I spit it so hot you got tanned ° Back to school and I hate it there, I hate it there ° Everything I want I gotta wait a year, I wait a year ° This nigga graduated at the top of my class ° I went to Cheesecake, he was a motherfucking waiter there

I got a Jones like Norah for your sorror' ° Bring more of them girls I've seen in the Aurora ° Tammy, Becky, and Laura, or'a Shirley ° I'm tryin' to hit it early, like I'm in a hurry ° See, that's how dude became the young pootie tang tippy tow ° Rockafella chain, yeah that's my rapper style ° Rosary piece, yeah that's my Catholic style ° Red and white one's, yeah that's my Kappa style ° And I ain't even pledge ° Cracked my head on the steering wheel and I ain't even dead ° If I could go through all that and still be breathing ° Bitch bend over, I'm here for a reason

I feel a woo coming on, cuz. I feel a woo coming on, cuz ° WOO … there it was ° I feel some woos coming on, cuz ° A couple woos coming on, cuz ° WOO, WOO … there they was
