Today is much less than a “Manic Monday” (which incidentally was written by Prince for the Bangles back in 1986), but I just decided to throw on the headphones and let my iPod take me to another place for a few hours. It's Monday afternoon, so I must be listening to my "Long Version" Playlist to hear songs that are at least 6 minutes long (usually with a funkier beat and stuff you’ll never hear on the radio).
I have my post-lunch drink of crushed ice and water with a few lemon slices. Here's the music flowing out of my iPod into my earhole:

I'm stealing your iPod. As a matter of fact, I have four of the songs you listed (all from the original tracks) on iTunes now. When I finally get around to buying a Pod, I'll have my own music channel set.
That said, you got a hell of a selection there. So much music, so few gigabytes on my PC to hold them all
Thanks for dropping by... I'm curious to know which four tracks we have in common?
I'd also like to PodCast some music or a short collage, but it doesn't appear that Blogger.com has a podcast feature... or does it?!? If anyone knows, let me know. THANKS!
"Eye to Eye" (that song has been stuck in my head since 1988--when we had the album "I Feel For You" on LP. And yes, I was only 8 then.), "That’s The Way Love Is" and "Two Can Play That Game" from Bobby (both of those are underrated songs on an underrated album, IMO. And the remix album is well worth it.), and "Do I Do", which I downloaded minutes after I heard it on "Idol" last year.
