soundtrack to 2011

Very early this year, I posted a what was at the time the soundtrack to 2011 so far. So now, it's December, and here's the complete soundtrack to 2011:


Small Blue Thing-- Suzanne Vega
Fast Car-- Tracy Chapman

the theme song to "Scrubs"
the theme song to "Family Guy"
something from the Bible: "And, yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for thou art with me".... I know it's not officially a song, but if someone read it out loud it could be spoken word, which is sort of like music.
