	Lose Yourself by Eminem Songfacts
		But after hearing Yankovic's "Couch Potato," it's hard not to sympathize with Em, since unlike his other big pop hit parodies, this has nothing to do with the song.
		I love this song it is awesome (lose yourself in the music the moment)
		Those of you saying eminem sampled Kashmir in this song are sadly wrong...when i first heard this i thought to myself it sounded similar but if you listen to both one after the other it's quite clear they're different...Both good songs tho

	Car Button Cloth - The Lemonheads
		The songs are smart and have a twisted humor to them, whether its Outdoor type (about a couch potato afraid of nature), or Con Daddy (about Liv and Steven Tyler), you cant go wrong.
		The Lemonheads do a great cover of the Traditional song Knoxville Girl.
		Another stellar album from Evan Dando and company, Car, Button, Cloth, is a much darker album then previous efforts but its the most diverse sounding musically and that is why its the best in my opinion.
