My Favorite Person ~ The O'Jays

Power Flower ~ Stevie Wonder

I Saw Her Standing There ~ The Beatles

Rapper's Delight ~ Sugarhill Gang (It doesn't even seem like it's 15 minutes long)

Five Minutes Of Funk ~ Whodini

Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get ~ The Dramatics

I Wonder If I Take You Home ~ Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam

Reminiscing ~ Little River Band

Bom Bom ~ Jimmy Castor Bunch

Money In My Pocket ~ Moss Tolbert

Ten that come to mind tonight.

17 Days -- Prince and the Revolution
Tuesday Heartbreak -- Stevie Wonder
What Child Is This -- Vince Guaraldi Trio
All Caps -- Madvillain
Cafe Regio's -- Isaac Hayes
Two Can Win -- J Dilla
Eye No -- Prince
Baby Be Mine -- Michael Jackson

Lovely Lovely -- Me'Shell Ndgeocello

Lowdown - Boz Scaggs

Lovely Day - Bill Withers

Boogie Wonderland - Earth Wind & Fire feat The Emotions

Dancewitme - Maxwell

Whodunit - Tavares

Can't Do A Thing To Stop Me - Chris Isaak

Ai No Corrida - Quincy Jones

All The Things She Said - Simple Minds

Legacy - The Art of Noise

*Prince bonus- Batdance (not a fan fave, but I can play the heck out of it, especially at the gym)

Some nice picks above, "Just My Imagination", "17 Days", "Baby Be Mine", "Ai No Corrida", "Dancewitme"... some of them are a bit overlooked, but they definitely have that "I haven't gotten tired with them yet" factor to them (whereas, say, "Billie Jean" or "Little Red Corvette" I don't want to listen to that often anymore).

With that 'Billie Jean' song, lol...there's still a fair bit you can get out of it...see it more as a form of energy more than anything else...like a heartbeat...and with the lyrics, just really listen and relate them to a guy you know...

.

'In The Warm Room' - Kate Bush

'Beethoven Piano Sonata no.13 op.27 no.1 (II) - Allegro molto e vivace' - Beethoven
