Django makes the list!

Saw this video recently where Django makes the list of top 10 hardest acoustic songs with "Minor Swing." While I'm certain they chose this song for its familiarity, it was neat to see them recognize Django when most of the rest were rock/pop musicians.
So, what are your opinions on the hardest Django acoustic song? One of his improvisations?
Comments
Certainly not minor swing!
Almost any other tune. Lol
Swanee River? Liza?
This video from Music is Win is a response to the Watch Mojo list above. He has some nice things to say about Django and tries to play a little. I'll link the clip below cued to the Minor Swing section. I think he also gives Django a call out at the end of the video.
If "The Top 10 Hardest Acoustic Guitar Songs" is really the criterion, this list is beyond ridiculous.

Reference the comment about Django at the end, Rex Stewart once said Django was 5 of the best 10 guitarists in the world.
