Brilliant mash-up.
Except you haven’t heard it like this:
I haven’t done this in a while, so here are the first ten songs from the iPod’s shuffle mode today:
“Remedy” – David Crowder Band
“Already” – Rush of Fools
“The Fist Fight/The Flying Wing” – Raiders of the Lost Ark Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
“Once Again” – Matt Redman
“666 Degrees” – Ceili Rain
“There’s No Way” – Alabama
“There’s a Mother Always Waiting at Home” – Johnny Cash *
“Go” – MercyMe
“Dr. Feelgood” – Motley Crue
“The Wall” – Johnny Cash
As usual, all links are to the song on the Amazon MP3 store, except those marked with an asterisk. Those links are to the physical CD, as the song isn’t sold in MP3 format.
We’ve all had that song that gets stuck in our head. That happened to me today. Not sure how it happened, since I didn’t hear the song in a commercial or TV show, or anything like that. Just one second, it was there.
The song? “Edge of Seventeen,” by Stevie Nicks.
So when it came time to go pick D up from school, as we departed from the house, I cranked that very song in the truck for S and I to enjoy. While sitting at a stop light, I decided to use the Genius function to create a playlist of like-minded songs, and here’s the result:
* “Edge of Seventeen” — Stevie Nicks
* “The Chain” — Fleetwood Mac
* “Magic Man” — Heart
* “Wheel in the Sky” — Journey
* “Hungry Like the Wolf” — Duran Duran
* “Heat of the Moment” (Acoustic) — Asia
* “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic” — The Police
* “Hold The Line” — Toto
* “Sharp Dressed Man” — ZZ Top
* “Brass in Pocket” — The Pretenders
* “Your Love” — The Outfield
* “These Dreams” — Heart
* “Baby, I Love Your Way” — Peter Frampton
* “Leather and Lace” (with Don Henley) — Stevie Nicks
* “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)” — Dead Or Alive
* “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” — Rod Stewart
* “Go Your Own Way” — Fleetwood Mac
* “Renegade” — Styx
* “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” — Journey
* “Crazy On You” — Heart
* “So Caught Up In You” — 38 Special
* “Dream Weaver” — Gary Wright
* “Just What I Needed” — The Cars
* “Here I Go Again” — Whitesnake
* “Won’t Get Fooled Again” — The Who
The inclusion of “The Chain” raised my eyebrows. I expected Fleetwood Mac to make an appearance, given Nicks’ membership in the band. The rest of the list, mostly staples of the ’80s, is also not surprising, except for “Dream Weaver” and “Here I Go Again”. Losing the former makes the playlist that much better, and the only reason it’s in my library is because it was on a soundtrack (likely Wayne’s World) or compilation.
Awesome.
You can follow along with the lyrics.

Like a lot of kids who came of age in the ’80s, I was not, and to this day am really not, a fan of Paul Simon. But every kid who came of age in the ’80s knew who Paul Simon was, thanks to this video:
I can still watch it just any ol’ time…
