This is a musical primer on insanity, nerves, and how popular culture sees mental differences. It's not intended to be comprehensive by any means (I can think of five songs that belong here but are not included -- most notably John Conlee's "I Don't Remember Loving You"), but it's a nice 132 minutes anyway. I picked up most of these songs online over the last 15 months -- every time I saw a cover of the Gnarls Barkley song, I ganked it. In the end, I have 10 covers of that, plus the odd mashup and such. I also snagged a few songs here and here.
If you have suggestions for a second volume, please send them on. Suggestions with attached files will find a much better reception on my end, because I am very lazy.
