Songs Covered Include
- "Gloria"
- "If the House is a Rockin'..."
- "In the Midnight Hour" (The Rock Bottom Remainders performed this song during an appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Host Craig Ferguson—himself the best-selling author of Between the Bridge and the River—played the drums. Just before the performance, he joked that "the only reason wanted to write a book was so that he could play with this band." Dave Barry was also the first guest on the show.)
- "Louie Louie" (Matt Groening claims he uses the "explicit" interpretation of the lyrics and Dave Barry claimed that it was so filthy that the U.S. Constitution should be amended to prohibit it.)
- "Rockaway Beach"
- "Stand By Me" Ben E King version
- "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'"
- "Wild Thing" (In one broadcast of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, Barry revealed this song as a band inside joke, since Roy Blount always mistimes his single vocal line: "You move me.")
- "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere"
- "You Can't Judge a Book by its Cover"
- "You May Be Right"

Famous quotes containing the words songs, covered and/or include:
“Heaven has a Sea of Glass on which angels go sliding every afternoon. There are many golden streets, but the principal thoroughfares are Amen Street and Hallelujah Avenue, which intersect in front of the Throne. These streets play tunes when walked on, and all shoes have songs in them.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“When my face turned toward his,
I averted it
and looked at my feet.
When my ears clamored
to hear his talk,
I stopped them.
When my cheeks broke out
in sweat and goosebumps,
I covered them with my hands.
But Friends,
when the seams of my bodice
burst in a hundred places,
what could I do?”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“At last now you can be
What the old cannot recall
And the young long for in dreams,
Yet still include them all.”
—Elizabeth Jennings (b. 1926)
