20)  Urban Species ft. Imogen Heap  ~  “Blanket”

23)  Billie Jo Spears  ~  “Blanket On The Ground”




24)  Trevor Hall  ~  “Under The Blanket”




25)  The Dejas  ~  “Blanket Song”



BONUS TRACK:  The Drifters  ~  “Under The Boardwalk”  (No, the word “Blanket” doesn’t appear in the title of this timeless tune. But the memorable phrase “on a blanket with my baby” is repeated often throughout the song. And no, these aren’t, in fact, the original Drifters. Most if not all of those guys are long-dead. But their replacements sound pretty darn good to me!)
