I've finished my mix: all twenty categories covered, total timing 79 minutes 42 seconds! Is anyone else cutting it closer to the bone than that?
I don't believe in guilty pleasures either, so I'm using my selection to, er, critique the category. I encourage others similarly to take advantage of every opporunity to (1) cheat, and (2) be pretentious!

I'll check...
I know I had to shave the pause time down to burn it.
Picking a song from my birth year (one that isn't guaranteed to have people shedding tears of lunacy, laughter, depression, or as a precursor to their head exploding) has been one of the tougher tasks.
A few (seriously there's quite a few more of these classics) of the rejected chart-toppers are,
- Onward Christian Soldiers
- Just A Closer Walk With Thee
- Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport
- Little Boy Lost
- Running Bear
and
I know where you're coming from DX.
moonlit, were you born in 1960? There's good stuff from then. Ray Charles is a good bet from that era.
moonlit, what's the problem with "Tie Me Kangaroo Down," or have you already chosen that as your "local" song? ;-)
Bingo Hec. There's also Elvis, Everly Brothers, and Orbison, all such tear-jerker songs, The Shadows, oh and
Teeny, Weeny, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
and
My Old Man's A Dustman.
I did think about it Angus and also the tragic
Little Boy Lost
Hee.
12 CDs, msbelle? Hmm, that's rather more of an undertaking than one! But I do have this thread on my message center now. OTOH, I feel rather not up to the task when realizing the company I'm in!

You only have to compile one CD. It's a big circle. You pass on your CD to the person on your right. The person on your left passes you a CD which you copy for yourself (if you like) and then pass on to the person on your right. This continues until you get your own CD back.
Ah HAH! So I only come up with one mix, but I burn myself others. That, I could do.
I have bookmarked the post, and shall work on it this weekend. When is it due?
Feb. 1, I think. pssst. i haven't started mine yet
