PLAYLIST FOR “SALUTE TO OSCAR LOSERS” (2.23.13)

24 Feb

I was going to do a show of Oscar Winning Songs, but was afraid I’d have to play Rod Stewart’s cover of “It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp.” So instead: each of these songs (except the last one) was nominated for an Oscar for Best Song in a Motion Picture; but every one of them lost.
