Four-Letter Words

No, not the ones that have lately accompanied weather reports or Celtics offensive possessions (and I use the word "offensive" advisedly). No, I'm talking about real four-letter words, and the inspiration that's struck me to make a mix-CD exclusively of songs that have four letter titles.

Here's what I've got so far (in alphabetical order): Babe, Bomb, Cars, Dead, Deep, Epic, Fame, Fell, Fuel, Fire, Hell, Hook, Hurt, Iris, Jane, Jump, Laid, Legs, Lies, Limp, Lola, Luka, Numb, Ohio, Pets, Rain, Roam, Taxi, Time, Type, YMCA, Yoda.

That's just what's in my MP3 collection. Any suggestions, comment below. Or if you have any other weird theme suggestions; I feel a new Golden Age of CD-mixing coming on me.

not neccessarily good, but they meet the requirements:

stay - either lisa loeb or shakespeare's sister (!) or both
"slam" - onyx
"spark" by tori amos
"iowa" by dar williams (breaks my heart everytime...especially towards the end there)
"Help!" by the beatles (does the exclamation point exclude it as an option?)
and...
sara by starship! if it has an h, which i don't think it does, then nevermind.
and, it was mid-70s and BEAUTIFUL here today. ow ow. and there?

Good suggestions. "Stay", "Help", "Deny" and "Sara" are all good..."Bugs" is a great song, but with Once and Deep, I don't want to over-Pearl-Jam the CD. "Spark" really doesn't seem to fit, but thanks. I'll try to find "Iowa". (I know, it's between Illinois and Nebraska).
