Paul Carrack, "Don't Shed a Tear for Me." -- A great way to let a girl have it after she kicks you to the curb
The Go-Go's, "Can't Stop the World." -- One of my get-goin' songs.
Prince, "Raspberry Beret" -- A song about a first time. very funkadelic.
The Beastie Boys, "No Sleep till Brooklyn" -- Underappreciated.

Warrant, "Cherry Pie" -- Gotta have a hair metal song.
Twisted Sister, "We're Not Gonna Take It." -- OK, gotta have TWO hair metal songs.
Linda Ronstadt, "Don't Know Much." -- She sounds like she cries every song. And her eyes...I'm powerless...
