What are your suggestions?
« I'm done now!
I love it! Keep 'em coming! You're expanding my already eclectic taste in music!
Wow! What a mix! I'm dizzy! I likes one cd at a time, me, personally. but that's just me. although i've made some monster mixes in my past, I keep more genres grouped together. but hey that just me. i'll shut up now. i know if i was at your house or on your road trip with you i'd be happy as a lark listening! hhmmmm, speaking of which. i might just have to come up there this weekend and have me a listen! aaarrrrrrrrgggghhhhh but you aren't gonna be there! damn. now you messed up my road trip that I would have needed to make a road trip playlist for!!!
but I am thinking of driving him there now. the other kid from his class is not going now. He decided to play all-stars baseball instead. not sure if I can send him off ALL alone for the first time. contemplating a road trip.... might have to permanently stay in Nashville... like forever... that sort of permanent...
How about poolside mix ?
Or Housework Hell Mix?
Or Workin' From Home Blues mix?
Do you really want me to go on, because I think I could.... :)
Soccer Mom Bee-Bop Mix
Endless Little League Mix
Goin' to Grandmas Oldies Mix
Holiday Hokie-Pokie
okay, okay! I'll stop now. quit yellin' at me....
I have many, many of these same songs on my "truckin'" playlist as well (and a few that I am now going to check out). And to be honest, I thought that I was the only person above say teenage years that would actually have the Rascal Flatts version of Life is a highway in their mix.
As for the "Dance List" that I have (and is approved by my daughter), I hit shuffle on my list, and give you the top dozen.
Gonna Make you Sweat - C+C Music Factory
Neutron Dance - The Pointer Sisters
Flashdance - Irene Cara
Let's Hear it for the Boy - Denise Williams
Finally - Ce Ce Peniston
Electric Avenue - Eddy Grant
Cha Cha Slide - Mr. C
Wake me up before you go go - Wham!
Venus/I head a Rumor mix - Bananarama
Come On, Come On - Smashmouth
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper
Walkin' On Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves
Every Rose Has It's Thorn? GAH!
Dane tune: Rapture remix by Lio. Awesome!

I think I misread your post... for clarification (mind you, I hadn't yet had my am coffee when I commented earlier) did you want suggesstions for kinds of playlists or songs to go on your playlist?
I'm flattered to see my theme song on your road trip play list. ;-)
Hope ya'll are having a great time with your dad. Maybe a switch up to some hearty wraps from the bread?
OOh! i want an excuse to drive somewhere with you so we can listen to that whole mix.
