1)  DJ Fresh ft. Rita Ora  ~  “Hot Right Now”

2)  Stage Dolls  ~  “Love Don’t Bother Me”

4)  The Beatles  ~  “Don’t Bother Me”

5)  Alanis Morissette  ~  “Too Hot”  (This tune is a genuine throwback from the earliest days of Alanis’ music career, when she was a Paula Abdul wannabe in Canada. She’s come a long way, eh?)

6)  The Charlatans UK  ~  “Can’t Even Be Bothered”

7)  Billy Idol  ~  “Hot In The City”

8)  Shakira  ~  “Don’t Bother”

15)  Jenny Owen Youngs  ~  “Hot In Herre”  (If you haven’t heard this tongue-in-cheek folk-pop cover of 50 Cent’s hit song before, you really need to! It’s virtually a word-for-word cover of the original, so there’re a couple of racy bits, but it’s beyond hilarious!)

16)  Itchy  ~  “Why Still Bother”

17)  Creature  ~  “Who’s Hot, Who’s Not”

18)  Lady Gaga  ~  “Bewitched, Bothered, And Bewildered”
