The Music Educators National Conference has determined the top 42
songs that are necessary "to preserve an important part of the
national culture."  If this is truly the best that our national
culture can offer us, maybe we should all apply for French
citizenship.  In today's GSB, we will sing these songs and rank them
according to national importance.  The alphabetical list (no joke)
follows:
