Here are the songs eligible for Oscar this year:

“Smoke without Fire” from “An Education” 
“You Got Me Wrapped around Your Little Finger” from “An Education” (I like this song a lot. Listening to it on-repeat as I write this... It's very catchy...check out the lyrics, sing-a-long, and listen to it below!)

“You Got Me Wrapped around Your Little Finger” by Beth Rowley

You got me wrapped around your little finger
If this is Love, it's everything i hoped it would be
You got me wrapped around your little finger
You will see, By my words just how much you mean to me

When we kiss, It's as if our lips agree
that we were meant to be
When we touch, It's too much
Oh the sparks that fly, Are lighting up the sky

You got me wrapped around your little finger
If this is Love, it's everything i hoped it would be
You got me wrapped around your little finger
If this is Love, It's everything that i've been dreaming of
