Stats
I thought that this mixtape would be similar to the whisper mixtape but turns out none of the songs there are present here. Amanda Shires, Disney?, Edward Sharpe, Ennio Morricone, Frankie Knuckles, Rammstein (finally), Scorpions Sammy David Jr only recently debuted on the "Human Spirit II" mixtape with "I gotta to be me". Similarly Monty Python debuted on the "Human Spirit II" mixtape as the hidden track. John Lennon makes it for the third time with previous appearances in "Imagination" and "Louder than war" mixtapes with "Imagine" and both when John Robb was guesting. Bangles also makes it three times on a mixtape with previous in "Eternal Flame" (Oh Sister) and "Manic Monday" (A day in life of). Otis Redding makes it a fourth time on the mixtape and joins a growing list of songs that have apppeared three times. "Dock of the bay" has also appeared on the "Gone too soon" and "Ship Ahoy". "Respect" is the other song that has made a mixtape.
