Songs in all musical genres are being inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2010, the BBC reports.
Inducted songs have to be at least 25 years old, and some of the songs, like “Zip-a-dee-do-da,” written by Johnny Mercer, certainly fit the criteria. That isn’t the oldest song on the list, though. That honor goes to “Dippermouth Blues,” by King Oliver and his Jazz Band, which was released in 1923. The youngest song on the list is “Birdland,” by Weather Report, released in 1977.
The Beach Boys’ classic surf song, “California Girls,” also joins the list of honorees. George Carlin’s 1972 comedy recording, Class Clown, which includes his “seven words you can never say on television,” routine is also going to be inducted.
Other songs on the list include “As Time Goes By,” which was the theme to the film Casablanca, “Pearle,” by Janis Joplin, and “For Me and My Gal,” song by Judy Garland and Gene Kelly and from the film of the same name.
