"Block" & "Charge" Songs

Even though it really isn't my favorite sport, I sorta miss watching basketball games. I particularly enjoy seeing people getting fouled. I dunno why.

7)  Rosemary Clooney & Bing Crosby  ~  "Let's Take A Walk Around The Block"







8)  Keb' Mo ft. Rosanne Cash  ~  "Put A Woman In Charge"
