Awesome...it's work just to listen to all of those!
Well, that effectively shuts down my use of iTunes for the day...
Love it! Hey, could you include Swivelchair by Nothing Painted Blue in your next 3-D extravaganza? It's one of my fave songs about work.
Michelle-great choice. Thanks for adding to the collection.
Dwane-That was my intent.
Frank-After you listen to the lot, it should feel like you've been at work all day.
wot no Dolly Parton?! :)
Dear Anonymous, How could this have happened? I forgot one of the best songs. I'm indebted to you. Thanks.
Michelle--Swivelchair is officially on the list.
Um, The Banana Boat Song by Harry Belafonte
