[Dawn]

I did another shuffle a few days back, and came up with these. Interesting mix!

1. Reasons - Earth, Wind & Fire
2. 29 Years from Texas - Seals and Crofts
3. Day Tripper - The Beatles
4. Tear the Roof Off the Sucker - Parliament
5. Let Me Get to Know You - Paul Anka

7. I'm Mandy Fly Me - 10cc
8. Put A Little Love Away - Emotions
9. The Best is Yet to Come - Carole King
10. My My She Cries - Carole King
Strange that two Carole tracks would come up back-to-back. They're from different albums though
11. Lady Willpower - Gary Puckett & the Union Gap
12. Love Makes the World Go Round - Deon Jackson
13. New World Rising/Ocean Breakup/Reprise - Electric Light Orchestra
14. Flirt - Mindi Abair
Mindi is a jazz saxophonist, very talented. I only have a few mp3s by her, but hope to add more.
15. The Loco-motion - Grand Funk
16. Lovelines - Carpenters
17. Time to Get Alone - Brian Wilson
From a live performance by Brian, February 22, 2004
18. A Well Respected Man - The Kinks
19. Darlin' (Instrumental Insert) - The Beach Boys
From Sea of Tunes Unsurpassed Masters 19
20. Instant Replay - Dan Hartman
21. Also Sprach Zarathustra - Deodato
22. Evergreen - Barbra Streisand
23. What It Comes Down To - Isley Brothers
24. Dance the Kung Fu - Carl Douglas
This sounds very similar in melody and style to Kung Fu Fighting.
25. Canadian Railroad - Gordon Lightfoot

[lora]

1. "Cruz" - Christina Aguilera
From the phenomenal Stripped. Not a favorite, although the a capella intro is pretty nice.

2. "Danny Boy" - Megan Mullally
This is a classic song, but I'd have to say that this is my favorite version. There's a guitar solo at the end that just blows me away.

3. "Red Light Special" - TLC
Wow. This brings back a lot of memories from when I was younger.

4. "Seven Bridges Road" (live) - The Eagles
Don't listen to this much. Nice song though. I just love their harmonies.

5. "Barbie Girl" - Aqua
Holy cow. That's all I can say...

6. "Heal Me, I'm Heartsick" - No Vacancy
From School of Rock, featuring Rent's Adam Pascal on vocals.

7. "Make Believe It's Your First Time" - Carpenters
Awww.

8. "MacArthur Park" - Donna Summer
As all of my friends always say, boy, do I have a lot of cheesy music.

9. "Last Night" - Justin Timberlake
Now there's a guilty pleasure if I ever heard one. I've heard the first single off of his new album, and I must say that I am quite disappointed.

10. "Don't Cha" - Pussycat Dolls
Oh, you know that you like this song. And you know you wish your girlfriend was hot like these chicks.

11. "Hungry Heart" - Bruce Springsteen
I think this is the only Springsteen song I have. It's from some Sony/Columbia compilation.

12. "If It Makes You Happy" - Sheryl Crow
One of my favorite music videos.

13. "A Bunch Of Guys" - The Guys All-Star Shoe Band
This is from the soundtrack to A Prairie Home Companion. Great movie if you haven't seen it yet.

14. "Breathe" - Faith Hill
Can you believe CMT ranked this as the #2 greatest country video??

15. "Bang Bang" - Cher
I gotta admit - this intro creeps me out just a bit.

16. "Rock-A-Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody" - Judy Garland
Live, of course. Love this.

17. "Constant Craving" - kd lang
It's really too bad that this is the only kd song that I know. I'm sure I would like a lot of her stuff. She's got a great voice.

18. "The Greatest Man I Never Knew" - Reba McEntire
I don't know why, but this song always makes me think of my grandfather.

19. "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" - Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty
I was just watching the video for this song yesterday. God, the lip-synching is terrible.

20. "Dreamboat Annie" - Heart
I haven't listened to this in ages.

21. "You're Gonna Be" - Reba McEntire
One of her new ones. I like this.

22. "Here In The Real World" - Alan Jackson
Wow, I totally forgot I had this.

23. "The Man That Got Away" (instrumental)
From the soundtrack to A Star Is Born. No wonder my friends make fun of the stuff I listen to.

24. "Give A Little Love" - The Judds
Well, you can buy a diamond RANG...

25. "If You Could See Her" - Joel Grey
From the Cabaret soundtrack. I remember this scene. It's so funny. He's singing to a gorilla, and you're like okay, so he sees a beautiful girl instead of a gorilla. But then he says, "if you could see her through my eyes...she wouldn't look Jewish at all."

Notice something? Not a SINGLE Country song in there! I thought it was odd that none would pop up.

So I kept it playing, and a Country song would not show up for another 58 songs!

I noticed that about the country songs - although, I was really only looking to see how many Martina songs you'd have.

7. I never expected her to be essentially a one hit wonder. I remember her being promoted quite heavily back in the day.

11. The first time I heard this song, i could swear I heard it before by someone else, but I could never figure out who - and when.

16. I never thought these guys would have a hit. I thought they were poor imitations of Michael Jackson - only without the falling-off nose and the pedophilia.

20. Bobby was finding he could combine rock/pop with nightclub music.

23. I understand he now spends his time trying to take liquids aboard airplanes.

Same here, Ken! Although, I must admit that looking at these song titles and realizing some of them are 25 years old or close to it makes me feel a little old! LOL!

[Dawn]

This was a great feature - I'll have to do another shuffle soon and see what it comes up with!

[berjo]

This is a really cool feature!

I'm still in the process (although at a snail's pace) of ripping favourite songs from my CDs (I'm over 1800 tunes so far).

Okay, this is what came up (and I'm not sure if many here would know these tunes but it would be cool if you did!).

1) Turn-Down Day (The Cyrkle) - cute tune
2) I Am a Cheetah (Tristeza) - post-rock, instrumental group.
3) We Can Work it Out (The Beatles)
4) Carl's Big Chance (The Beach Boys) - another instrumental
5) Tomorrow Never Knows (The Beatles) - another Beatles' tune. Gotta love 'em.

6) Time (Zebra)
7) One Note Samba (Antonio Carlos Jobim) - I just love Bossa Nova. ACJ is one of my favs.
8) In Context of the Moon (Max Webster) - a great Canadian band.
9) High Rise (Houston Calls) - an emo/rock tune
10) Close Your Eyes (Goo Goo Dolls) - this was when the band was great.

11) If I Could Fly (Joe Satriani) - a beautiful tune by guitar virtuous JS.
12) Drugs in My Pocket (The Monks)
13) Life and Times (Galactic Cowboys)
14) Skweeze Me Pleeze Me (Slade)
15) Let's Talk About Girls (Chocolate Watch Band)

Hey! Welcome back, Berjo!

1. I agree. Turn Down Day is a good song. It kinda gets lost behind Red Rubber Ball, but I think it's a better tune.

16. Not familiar with this one. I guess in the USA, the Stampeders are only known for Sweet City Woman, but I remember how big they were from the two years I spent living in Canada.

25. Glad to see that you are not a "Rock Snob" I have several classical pieces among my collection also.

Hi (I think it's Ed, right?) - Over at another site, someone mentioned that Stampeders song and recalled it from one of those K-Tel or Ronco comps. His recollection was that Rich Dodson was the artist (he's one of the Stampeders) listed and not the band.

As for classical, I have quite a few dl so far. Just the other day, I ripped Bach's "Toccata" since my one brother needed an instrumental tune that was spooky. IMO, that's one of the spookiest classical pieces.

Thanks for the comments!
