I asked Keith to look up his music list to see what he played in the effort to keep himself and Bakerina awake via Scrinecast in the final hours, and it got me thinking a little group input could likely result in a darn good playlist for late nights and sleepy Monday mornings.

In no particular order, I’ll kick off the list with a few that work for me:
- Roll Over Beethoven, Chuck Berry
- Iko Iko, Dr. John
- Good Lovin’, The Rascals
- Surfin Safari, The Beach Boys
- Time, Pink Floyd (at least the beginning)
- Great Balls of Fire, Jerry Lee Lewis

Yeah! Thanks. I’ve got about 2/3 of those and they’ve joined my “wide awake” playlist. A couple are missing rather inexplicably and a few I’d hardly heard of but found to add.
Okay, people, what else gets your eyes open?
'mouse on 08/02/06 at 08:43 AM ::
Carrot, I suspect that The Big Chill sound track gets heavy rotation at your place, as it does at mine.
A few more occur to me (dusting off my 80’s newwave collection):
Video Killed the Radio Star, The Buggles
Rock and Roll High School, The Ramones
Gidget Goes to Hell, Suburban Lawns
Ca Plane Por Moi, Plastic Bertrand
My Sharona, the Knack
One Way or Another, Blondie

Apologies to everyone who’s already seen it, but bakerina’s list reminded me to remind the world that Christopher Walken is a genius. Proof here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hDGAvqwgdk
And ‘mouse, yep. Guilty as charged, although my tastes were already heading in that direction before I even saw the movie…
Plus,
