I was sitting in my car the other day, trying to decide what CD to listen to.  I flipped through the pages of my CD book, and I noticed one that I haven’t listened to for quite a while, labeled “Misc. iTunes.”  I had no memory of what was on that mix, and I was very entertained as I popped it into the player and listened through.

All of the songs on this CD are significant to me somehow.  I’ve even blogged about a couple of them before.  The funny thing about the mix, however, is that it’s incredibly disjointed and eclectic.  The songs are all favorites, but they don’t all belong together.

I do kind of remember putting this CD together a while back, and I think they all ended up here because they were neglected on other mixes I had made.  So these are my poor homeless songs, in the order they occur on my miscellaneous mix.

1. Eternal Flame, by the Bangles

2. Gonna Fly Now, by Bill Conti

3. Call Me, by Blondie

4. Beyond the Sea, by Bobby Darin

5. Mister Blue Sky, by Electric Light Orchestra

6. Your Song, by Elton John

7. Wonderful Tonight, by Eric Clapton

8. [I can not remember the title of this one for some reason, but it is an awesome string quartet piece I heard on NPR one time.]

9. Final Countdown, by Europe

10. Ring of Fire, by Johnny Cash [sorry about the video on this one...]

11. Just Like Heaven, by Katie Melua

12. I Wanna Be Sedated, by The Ramones

13. Misty, by Sarah Vaughan

14. New Slang, by The Shins

15. Kiss Me, by Sixpence None the Richer [the audio is pretty icky on this one, sorry]

16. Hushabye Mountain, by Stacey Kent

17. Mr. Roboto, by Styx

18. Eye of the Tiger, by Survivor

19. Telephone Hour, from Bye Bye Birdie

20. It’s Not Unusual, by Tom Jones

Like I said, it’s not a very coherent mix.  I enjoy all the tracks individually, but it’s rough shifting gears between the songs.  Also, feel free to roll your eyes at my songs.  I know they’re not the coolest, but I’m not (very) ashamed to admit I like them.
