Skeletons in the iPod & Random.org

For our inaugural Five4Fun list I decided to commit to hitting shuffle on my ipod and posting the first fives songs played no matter what. As with most people I have a wicked eclectic mix of artists on my mp3 player and not all of it is shall I say… critically acclaimed. (You must trust my integrity- I would not deny it if Justin Bieber was first up!).

In the spirit of randomness, check out this fun site my Cuz used to pick a winner for a contest she ran on her blog. Because I model everything in my life after her I will also have a contest. Soon I will post a list of Five4Fun songs to get a dance party started. If you know what jam takes control of my body, that I literally can’t resist whenever and where it is played, shoot me an email! Once I have a sufficient number of entries (which don't hold your breath) we will let random.org pick a winner. Yes there will be a prize!

Without further ado, I give you our first Five 4 Fun: SHUFFLE

1. Orientation - Lightheaded (I miss you guys and game night!)

2. Bust Your Windows (uh yeah… the version from Glee)

3. Don’t You Forget It - Glen Lewis

4. Get Up Offa of That Thing – James Brown

5. My All – Mariah Carey

Take the Shuffle challenge and dare to post your first 5! Its just 4 fun :)
