Accordian music

So I figured this might be interesting.

What are some of your favorite songs that feature an accordian or concertina?

One of my favourites is "My Head Feels Like a Frisbee" by Shpongle

Anyone else have some good songs? I know there probably aren't a whole lot, but let me know if anything comes to mind.

That song from the Suikoden IV opening, La Mer was cool, and it had accordians in it. Other than that, i dont really know of much music with accordians. Something about accordians scares me tho. Its the shape

Let me know when you do a bagpipe thread. Can't think of a single one for an accordion.

Well here's one you'll be kicking yourself for not remembering

They Might Be Giants - Istanbul (was constantinople)

Come on, none of you music fanatics have any accordian songs?

There is an accordian in the This Left Feels Right version of the Bon Jovi song Always.I'm not such a fan of that version of the song...but it has an accordian in it. Dunno what an accorian is tho (what a stupid joke)

Ah yeah, they took the accordian route while everyone else was experimenting with hammond organs.

I often get accordians confused with harmonica solos...

If you here "Perfect" by The The you'll see what I mean.

Jacques Brel - Amsterdam

I'm sure there are other Brel songs with nicer accordion parts, but I can't find the cd at the moment...

If you're bored go here or, if the boredom is more serious, here.
