"Jersey Girl" is song written and first performed by Tom Waits for his 1980 album Heartattack and Vine. This mix includes the original as well as a live version by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Ban from 1981 and subsequent versions by Corrine Bailey Rae and Dave Von Ronk.
One other song repeats: a newly unearthed demo of "Something" by The Beatles and a cover by Chet Baker from his 1970 album Blood, Chet and Tears.
The rest: Sting singing a Japanese version of his band The Police's "De Do Do Do De Da Da Da Da", Ol' Dirty Bastard's philosophic "Don't U Know Part II", Beck's tender "Debra", The Strangler's 1978 new wave cover of the Bacharach/David standard "Walk On By", Universal 2's proto rap ""Dancing Heart", Gladys Knight & The Pips' sweet "Can You Give Me Love With A Guarantee", Peggy Lee's cover of Randy Newman's standard "I Think It's Gonna Rain Today", Digable Planets' jazzy "Last Of The Spiddycocks", Dee Dee Bridgweater's Hall & Oates gender-switched cover "He's Gone" and Robyn Hitchcock's studio cover of The Psychedelic Furs' "The Ghost In You".
