3)Post them to your journal with these instructions.

bugshaw gave me a 'K', and because I am ~~anal~~ organised I put them in chronological order:

Kyrie -- Biber (Missa Salisbergensis) Missa Salisbergensis (written to celebrate one thousand years of Christianity in Salzburg: 1683 I think) is one of my very favourite choral works.

Kashmir -- Ofra Haza (cover of Led Zep classic) I'd have linked the Led Zep version but all the videos are frightful. And I love Ofra Haza's voice, which makes this an interesting cover (also, rather shorter than the original).

Knock on Wood -- Amii Stewart with all the subtlety of a Seventies disco classic. I adore this song. I think I first acquired it on one of the Top Of The Pops compilation albums (cassette) pretty soon after Amii Stewart's version was released.

Kiss - Age of Chance Ooooh that Eighties vibe! The prehistory of the mashup. I remember introducing this on student TV at university, and not really getting it until I'd listened a few times (after which I was hooked on the whole cover/mash thing).

King of the Rodeo -- Kings of Leon The first minute of this vid is rather vexing but then it gets good. And this song will always remind me of driving south to Christchurch, NZ, with my darling co-author (who is an excellent source of music).
