Mix tapes

Back when I was in college, we used to love making mix tapes, you know, cassette tapes (readers under 30, go here) where you copy a bunch of your favorite songs so you can listen to them on your Walkman (readers under 30, go here). We always used to talk about what songs we would put on the Ultimate Mix Tape. Sometimes we'd come up with themes, such as the ultimate dance party mix tape, or (my favorite) the ultimate fuck-you mix tape. This would be the one that you played when your boyfriend or girlfriend done you wrong and broke your heart, or your roommate totally made out with the guy YOU had a crush on and she didn't care about. In honor of a dear friend who I think would appreciate such a tape right about now (she knows who she is), I present the following list:
  • Goodbye to You, by Scandal
  • I Will Survive, Gloria Gaynor
  • Hit the Road Jack, Ray Charles
  • These Boots Are Made For Walkin', Nancy Sinatra
  • Cold-Hearted, Paula Abdul
  • The Sign, Ace of Base
  • Positively 4th Street, Bob Dylan
  • Unhappy Birthday, The Smiths
  • Fuck You, Lily Allen
Feel free to add your suggestions in the comments...
