    The only thing I've ever heard from him other than "We Didn't Start the Fire" is "Movin Out" and I like that song.

    Pressure

    And your Peter Pan advice
    You have no scars on your face
    And you cannot handle pressure
    All grown up and no place to go
    Psych 1, Psych 2
    What do you know?
    All your life is Channel 13
    Sesame Street
    What does it mean?

    This x1,000. I've posted it before, but it bears repeating.

    <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ErPywgiMb4k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Watch all the way through for some mad one-handed playing at the end.

    But my favorite, and IMHO his best combination of musicianship and lyric-writing:

    <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ygNNpvzuNFA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Lyrics:
    They say that these are not the best of times
    But they're the only times I've ever known
    And I believe there is a time for meditation
    In cathedrals of our own
    Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lovers' eyes
    I can only stand apart and sympathize
    For we are always what our situations hand us
    It's either sadness or euphoria

    And so we'll argue and we'll compromise
    And realize that nothing's ever changed
    For all our mutual experience
    Our separate conclusions are the same
    Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
    A reason coexists with our insanity
    And so we choose between reality and madness
    It's either sadness or euphoria

    How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
    Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies
    And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives
    With our respective similarities
    It's either sadness or euphoria

    There was an episode of Alvin and the chipmunks where they say For The Longest Time. I thought it was cute.
