The world ends, the credits roll. Which song plays?
By the original rules, R.E.M.'s "End of the World As We Know It" is out of bounds for obviousness. I have chosen Tom Waits' "A Good Man Is Hard To Find":
Well, I always play Russian roulette in my head
It's seventeen black or twenty-nine red
How far from the gutter? How far from the pew?
I will always remember to forget about you
A good man is hard to find
Only strangers sleep in my bed
And my favorite words are good-bye
And my favorite color is red
What about you?

It's the first recording of her I've heard, too--I'd only heard of her before. I hadn't heard very much about her, either, except I always wondered if the "Neko" was meant to be the Japanese word for "cat." Her Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neko_Case) describes her work as "alt-country", and I'm not historically a fan of country. But the Waits cover didn't sound especially country to me . . .
