A new mix for the kids...

The same five cds have been stuck in my wife's car cd player for WAY too long. The kids like them and she is rarely driving without the kids.

But we have been steadily collecting a weird amalgam of songs that we think will break up the monotony so tonight a new mix cd is born!

It is virtually impossible to predict but usually how this goes down is we put 20 songs on a playlist and our son obsesses over three of them.

For about a year his favorite song was Slade's "Run Runaway." This past year his favorite song was sung by Dr. Octopus, the infamous Spiderman villain.

What will be the new favorites? Check back to find out!

1). Survivor - "Eye of the Tiger"

2). Michael Jackson - "Beat It"

3). The Beatles - "Two of Us"

4). Blind Melon - "No Rain"

5). Donovan - "Sunshine Superman"

6). Desmond Dekker - "Israelites"

7). Deee-Lite - "Groove Is In The Heart"

8). Hues Corporation - "Rock The Boat"

9). Jim Croce - "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown"

10). Devo - "Whip It"

11). Pink - "Get The Party Started"

12). Michael Jackson - "Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)"

13). Men Without Hats - "The Safety Dance"

14). R.E.M. - "Superman"

15). Ram Jam - "Black Betty"

16). Rocky Sharpe - "Rama Lama Ding Dong"

17). Status Quo - "Pictures of Matchstick Men (Stereo Alternate Mix)"

18). Michael Jackson - "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough"

19). Chumbawamba - "Tubthumping"

20). Fatboy Slim - "Praise You"

Heavy on the Michael Jackson this time around for sure but that is partly because my wife and I could not agree and partly because my little daughter likes to shake her booty.
