Sweet Summer Songs

Recently got an iTunes giftcard, and have loaded up some fun songs for summer! If you've never been to "iTunes Essentials", it's so much fun! Brad & I reminisced all through the 80's and 90's songs and now I have so many songs in my shopping cart that I'd love to buy someday, like...

Drive by The Cars
Every Breath You Take by The Police
We Belong by Pat Benatar
The Lady in Red by some guy
Careless Whisper by Wham!
Word Up --with your hands in the air like you don't care
Sweet Dreams are made of these ---Hey, who AM I to disagree?
Shout by Tears for Fears
(I sing this often to my children--these ARE the things I can do without, come ON!)
(I wear my) Sunglasses at Night (so I can? what....that's all the words we know)
Almost Paradise from Footloose (another classic movie)
Hello? by Lionel Richie (ah the video was so sweet- back when vh1 actually played videos)
Tainted Love by some group I've never heard of
You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin' from the bar scene in Top Gun
and of course the ultimate 80's song:

WE ARE THE WORLD

What I did buy for summer was....

Fun, Fun, Fun by the Beach Boys
Summer Nights & We Go Together from Grease
Walking on Sunshine
Happy Together
Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours
by Stevie Wonder
You're My Best Friend by Queen
Take My Breath Away from Top Gun (from THE junior high slumber party movie where we all drooled over the now crazy Tom Cruise)
Cruisin' by Huey Lewis & Gwyneth Paltrow from "Duets"
Big House & All Star Dance Remix for the kids
The Best Day Ever by SpongeBob SquarePants
Happy Working Song & That's How You Know from Enchanted (Grace's and my current favorite movie)
and of course....
Splish Splash I Was Takin' a Bath...
