Raisins and Almonds: "Raisins and Almonds" (Yiddish: ראָזשינקעס מיט מאַנדלען‎ , "Rozhinkes mit Mandlen") is a traditional Jewish lullaby popularized in the arrangement by Abraham Goldfaden (1840-1908) for his 1880 Yiddish musical, "Shulamis".  It has become so well known that it has assumed the status of a classic folk song.  It has been recorded as both a vocal and instrumental by many artists over the years, including Itzhak Perlman, Chava Alberstein, Benita Valente, and Ella Jenkins.  It is a common lullaby among Ashkenazi European Jews (Ashkenazim).  This song has multiple translations and multiple versions, which have slight changes in both Yiddish and English lyrics.  One verse of the song appears in the Herman Wouk novel "War and Remembrance" in Yiddish as well as an English translation, and also in the TV miniseries based on the book.

Baettaragi: Baettaragi is a folk song from the Pyeongan province of Korea.  It means "Boat's Departing" in the Pyeongan dialect of Korean.  The epically interwoven song tells of the weary life of a sailor.  The chief features of the song are its irregular tempo and its Susimga melodic style.  The Susimga is a plaintive, forlorn style of folk song lamenting the futility of life.  Baettaragi was possibly influenced by the style of folk songs sung in the Gyeonggi province.

There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly: The phrase and title There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly—alternatively, "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly," or "There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly," or "I Know an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly"—is a children's rhyme and song of a kind known as cumulative.  The song tells the story of an old woman who swallowed increasingly large animals, each to catch the previously swallowed animal.  There are many variations of phrasing in the lyrics, especially for the description of swallowing each animal.  The spider and fly are described in each verse, but the other animals are only described when they are introduced starting with the bird.  The absurdity stems from the increasingly improbable solutions that only worsen the initial problem and are more likely to cause the woman's death: the logic of swallowing of even more animals of preposterous sizes without dying, contrasted with the expected, matter-of-fact recounting of her death from swallowing an animal larger than herself, when in fact the swallowing of any animal as a solution was absurd.

John Henry (folklore): John Henry is an African American folk hero.  He is said to have worked as a "steel-driving man"—a man tasked with hammering a steel drill into rock to make holes for explosives to blast the rock in constructing a railroad tunnel.  According to legend, John Henry's prowess as a steel-driver was measured in a race against a steam-powered hammer, a race that he won only to die in victory with hammer in hand as his heart gave out from stress.  The story of John Henry is told in a classic folk song, which exists in many versions, and has been the subject of numerous stories, plays, books, and novels.  Various locations, including Big Bend Tunnel in West Virginia, Lewis Tunnel in Virginia, and Coosa Mountain Tunnel in Alabama, have been suggested as the site of the contest.

Alan Mills (tennis): Alan Ronald Mills, CBE (born November 6, 1935 in Stretford, Lancashire, England), is a former tennis player and tournament referee for the Wimbledon tennis championships from 1982 to 2005.  Although each individual tennis match was controlled by an on-court umpire, Alan Mills ran the entire tournament.  However, perhaps he was most well known because the decision to stop play in the event of rain was that of Mills, and so his face was familiar to millions of television viewers worldwide, in the corner of Centre Court, clutching his two-way radio and glancing upwards at the sky in search of rainclouds.

Dick Mills (baseball): Richard Alan Mills (January 29, 1945 – March 28, 2015) was a former right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball.  Mills had originally been drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 1965 amateur draft and by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the January 1966 draft, but did not sign with a Major League team until he was drafted by his hometown Boston Red Sox in June 1966.  He made his Major League debut for Boston in 1970, coming into the sixth inning in relief of Chuck Hartenstein to finish an 8–2 blowout loss to the Cleveland Indians.  His only other Major League appearance came in relief in another blowout, pitching two-thirds of an inning in an eventual 13–2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.

Chitta Kukkad: "Chitta Kukkad" is a wedding-themed Punjabi dance song by Bollywood composer, producer and singer Parichay, with lyrics written by rapper and lyricist The Gunsmith.

Hava Naquila (song): "Hava Naquila" is the second single of the Party Animals from their debut album "Good Vibrations".  The song was released in 1996 and is a happy hardcore version of the classic folk song "Hava Nagila" set in a gabber beat.  The single was certified Gold.

Mrs. McGrath: "Mrs. McGrath" (also known as "Mrs. McGraw", "My Son Ted", "My Son John", and "The Sergeant and Mrs. McGrath") is an Irish folk song set during the Peninsular War of the early 19th century.  The song tells the story of a woman whose son enters the British Army and returns seven years later having lost his legs to a cannonball while fighting against Napoleon presumably at the Battle of Fuentes de Oñoro (fought between 3 and 5 May 1811).  The general theme of the song is one of opposition to war.  Along with "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye", it is one of the most graphic of all Irish folk songs that deal with sickness and injuries caused by warfare.  Irish folk song collector Colm Ó Lochlainn described "Mrs. Grath" as "known to every true born citizen of Dublin".  It was very popular among the Irish Volunteers in the years leading up to the 1916 Rising and has been recorded by many singers and folk groups.
