The Best Songs of 2011, Part II of III (#30-11)

Part II is ready, I think, therefore, I am ready to release Part II? Did you catch the reference to Descartes? Also I've been reading this book and there were these strange self-referential sentences that I thought I'd share. I'm not going to elaborate on them, just list them underneath to stir your mind.

Numero Uno: The following sentence is totally identical with this one, except that the words "following" and "preceding" have been exchanged, as have the words "except" and "in", and the phrases "identical with" and "different from".

Numero Due: The preceding sentence is totally different from this one, in that the words "preceding" and "following" have been exchanged, as have the words "in" and "except", and the phrases "different from" and "identical with".

Most people find these sentences silly and actually rather annoying. I like them and think they are rather fascinating. Both are from page 62 of I Am A Stange Loop by Doug Hofstadter. Anyways, on to the music, that's why you're here, right? Enjoy Part II.
