Performed in Ecuador (born for the Internet), this embodies the kind of slimy pop serendipity that would make Kurt laugh, and then cry, and then laugh again (then sleep, probably). Miley may have the least Cobain-ian vision of teen spirit ever. But she rides it like a demon steed straight to karaoke hell.

“Let My Love Open the Door”

A peppy, hopeful love song, "Let My Love Open the Door" became a U. S. Top Ten hit for Pete Townshend in 1980, anchored by the kind of repeating synthesizer figures that he'd used in some of the Who's recordings in the previous decade. Although Townshend brushed the song off as "just a ditty" in Rolling Stone shortly after its release, in 1996 he revealed it was about love of the holiest sort. "It's supposed to be about the power of God's love," he remarked. "That when you're in difficulty, whether it's major or minor, God's love is always there for you."
