The Beatles, Nowhere Man
We are just one tick away to glorious #100 of my youtube countdown. Until then, you’ll have to make due with part 99 which is of course the Beatles with “Nowhere Man” from 1965’s Rubber Soul.

We are getting so close to the end, with part 98 of my youtube countdown. Today, I have something a little more international, and why not? After 97 songs, I’m running out of English songs!
