I’d say almost all of them. Some are a slam dunk like “Willie, Mickey and the Duke” (or maybe Centerfield), Satisfaction, ELO’s version of Roll Over Beethoven. Others might be a worthy challenge.

You’re lucky you share a birthday with Willie Mays. He’ll be 93.
My notable birthday on May 8 will be 69. For some reason I’m feeling a little younger right now.
