Prolific Terrific/ Summer Playlist

You know, Andy Rooney's got nothing on me, especially when he gets a whole week to prepare whatever he writes on 60 Minutes.

Again, another time to laze about, another time to write.

I had two ideas for posts last night, so you might see them sometime.

Meanwhile, here's my summer playlist...kinda late for my Hoosiers and my buddies working in the Midwest and the East Coast, but just right for the California people still trying to get mileage out of their summer, finding ways to bask in the sun, hitting the beach.

I assure you, you will know most of the songs I have on the list too. They're in no particular order:

1. Lil' Rob - Summer Nights
For you low riders out there.
2. Will Smith - Summertime
A standard, no question.
3. Fantasia - Summertime
Gotta have vintage stuff too. Really good rendition.
4. Toni Braxton - Unbreak My Heart
This song makes the list because everybody's gotta recover from the aftermath of a summer hookup.
5. DJ Sammy and Yannou - Heaven
To the class of 2002.
6. Heatwave- Always and Forever
The ULTIMATE slow jam.
7. The Bangles - Eternal Flame
A 80's Summer Ballad
8. Bay City Rollers - Saturday Night
I don't know if roller rinks exist anymore, but I'm sure this was the rage back when the Ice Rink in PV was one.
9. Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop (That Thing)
For those of you in favor of hot days in the urban ghetto. Ok, just urban.
10. Notorious BIG - Goin Back to Cali'
Bounce with me.
11. Stevie Wonder - Higher Ground
Gotta have Stevie somewhere on any song list I have.
12. Babyface - Reason for Breathing
More sappy summer drama.
13. Santana and Michelle Branch - Game of Love
(OCPSSS) - Overplayed Catchy Poppy Santana Summer Song. (can be replaced with Smooth)
14. Westlife - Uptown Girl
Wong Fu Productions needs to make their next video with this song.
15. Jon Lee--I mean Jay-Z- Big Pimpin'
N.O.H.O.I.N.V.A.F.O.Z.K.J.
16. LFO - Summergirls (the Abercrombie song)
It's just silly.
17. Ain't Nothin but a G Thang - Snoop and DRE
Compton and LB together now you know you're in trouble...
18. Madonna - Ray of Light
Probably the best Madonna song in the late 90's
19. Green Day - When I Come Around
Back when they hated ALL authority, not just Bush.
20. Coolio - Fantastic Voyage
This song makes me want to get a pimped out Pepsi truck.
21. Jagged Edge feat Nelly - Where the Party At?
Wave your arms like this: Left side, Right Side, Left, Left, Right Side, Left Side, Right, Right
22. Baby Bash - I'm Back
Listen to this while driving a fast car off the coast.
23. Ruff Endz - No More
Ditto.
24. Rihanna - Pon da Replay
Non-techno song with the most bass.
25. Bryan Adams - Summer of '69
You know, you can love only one woman, but you can love many guitars.
26. Chicago - Saturday in the Park
Find it. Oldie but goody.
27. Jason Mraz - The Remedy (I Won't Worry)
Just happy.
28. Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx - Gold Digger
For those of you in favor of Prenups.
29. Lucas Prata - And She Said...
Ever since I heard this on So You Think You Can Dance, it's been in my head.
30. Mariah Carey - Fantasy
For those of you who liked her when she could actually sing instead of moan.
31. Montell Jordan - This is How We Do It
He could never top his first single. That being said, this was as good as it got in 1995. Sheesh.
32. Naughty By Nature - Hip Hop Hooray
The adult version of Kriss Kross' "Jump Jump"
33. Nelly feat Murphy Lee - Shake Ya Tail Feather
To the road trip where we heard this song 80 times Charlie.
34. Notorious BIG feat. Mase - Mo Money Mo Problems
When sampling is a good idea.
35. UB40 - Red Red Wine
Reggae without the Dancehall.
36. Savage Garden - The Animal Song
It makes me feel free.
37. U2- Beautiful Day
Yup, have to have U2 on this list too.
38. Tupac - California Love
Yeah, this playlist is about Cali love.
39. Jars of Clay - Sunny Days
Definitely a song that puts you in a good mood.

Others I forgot about?

Summer Nights - Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta
Len - Steal My Sunshine
Mase - Feel So Good
Sean Paul - Get Busy
