WPU Soundtrack Album

Fooling around a few years ago, I compiled a We Picked Up soundtrack album, using 21 songs which are mostly named in the book (but some that aren’t) which help categorize where the guys were at in their travels, or songs to help explain their emotion or mental state.  The lineup is:  1)  “I Feel the Earth Move” by Carole King  2) “Indiana Wants Me” by R. Dean Taylor  3) “Nama” by the Rascals   4)  “Questions 67 & 68″ by Chicago   5) “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours” by Stevie Wonder  6)  “Hello, Mary Lou” by Rick Nelson  7)  “Navajo Gift Dance Song” by Traditional Native Voices   8)  “Strangers In the Night” by Frank Sinatra  9)  Theme From “Bonanza”   10) “Do You Know What I Mean” by Lee Michaels  11) “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” by Tony Bennett  12) “Do You Know the Way to San Jose” by Dionne Warwick   13) “Surfer Girl” (vocals only version) by the Beach Boys   14) “I’ve Got Enough Heartache” by Three Dog Night   15)  “99 Miles From L.A.” by Art Garfunkel  16) “Bring the Boys Home” by Freda Payne  17)  “Maybe I’m Amazed” by Paul McCartney  18)  “Wichita Lineman” by Glen Campbell   19)  “Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Loving on Your Mind)” by Loretta Lynn  20) “Honeymooners” theme song by Jackie Gleason, and 21) The Stars and Stripes Forever (Sousa) by the Grendadier Guards Band.  It’s an eclectic mix, granted, but isn’t a trip across America the same?
