If we head into rap/hip hop, there are many more songs, like Gin and Juice!
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.
'War Stories'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
A smooth jazz version of "Dance me till the end of love".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I'm making a mix cd to send to Tim in Iraq. Problem is, I'm not sure of his taste in music. Also, I didn't want anything to be too much of a downer. So I tried to go with a good mix and some fun things. Here's what I came up with:
America- Simon & Garfunkel
Dammit- Blink 182
Chariot- Gavin DeGraw
Yo Vanilla- Vanilla Ice (Very fun two second intro I end up using on everyone once)
Afternoon Delight- Will Ferrell
Build Me Up Buttercup- The Foundations
Light & Day/Reach for the Sun- Polyphonic Spree
I Believe in A Thing Called Love- The Darkness
Flowers in the Window- Travis
Hungry Like the Wolf- Reel Big Fish
Penny Lane- The Beatles
If You Leave- OMD (Inside joke. He used to wait on Andrew McCarthy at the restaurant he worked at in college.)
July, July!- The Decemberists
Solsbury Hill- Peter Gabriel
The Way You Move- Outkast
Try a Little Tenderness- The Commitments
What I Got (Reprise)- Sublime
When I Come Around- Green Day
Collide- Howie Day
Tessie- Dropkick Murphys
I know it's a little incongruous, but that's the way (uh huh uh huh)I like it (uh huh uh huh). It's been a while since I've put together a good mix cd for someone. I rather missed it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm not averse to rap being on the playlist, but it has to be something that people could sing along with. Gin and Juice would qualify, early Beastie Boys, Sir-Mix-Alot.
I have a version of Gin and Juice, but it's silly hard rock, and I heard a kind of girlie version by, I think, Sissy Bar.

That cover rocks. So funny.

Any Tori Amos fans- I stumbled on a pre-release from her next album that got added to the iTunes store today. Is good.

I'm unsure why, but it makes me think of a parody of Six Pence None The Richer doing "There She Goes" and I laugh like a loon.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Hey, cool, I didn't know she had a new one coming out.
I made a fun mix last night of South African music, for the dual purpose of sending to Angus and giving to a friend for a belated Christmas present. Angus, it should go out tomorrow along with my Buffista mix CD. If anyone else wants a copy, let me know. (I don't have it with me or I'd post the setlist: some Miriam Makeba, a few tracks from the Indestructible Beat of Soweto album and the Radio Freedom album, Hugh Masekela, Brenda Fassie, a couple of big-chorus gospel songs, etc.)
