help me: songs to download

[musicotb]

Looking for suggestions - I know this is hard since you don't know what I already have, but I can alwayss just preview them and see if I like them. I listen to top 40/pop, country, showtunes, oldies. I want fun music, good for driving, cleaning house, etc.
I got an 8GB ipod nano for christmas, so looking to fill it up!
Thanks for any and all suggestions =D

I assume you know they are making a movie?

 

[Cool-Beans]

My favorite up-tempo song that nobody has ever heard is "Yo Cousin Vinny" by Joe Pesci. The lyrics are "explicit"...listener discretion is advised.

But if your virgin ears can handle the assault, it is a funny song. And excellent for house-cleaning.
