The Birthday Shuffle

There are so many Facebook lists floating around these days, and while I normally dread those sorts of things, I really enjoyed the ones involving music (The Soundtrack of Your Life, etc.). So, because I think the pod actually DOES know all, I decided to combine the two musical lists I've received recently.

I decided on the increment by 2 clicks method for this list...because, well, that seemed right. So, here goes...I like to call it, The Birthday Shuffle...I've also added some comments where appropriate...

Opening Credits:
Somewhere in Between - Lifehouse

Waking Up:
Heroes - David Cook

What You Wanted to Be When You Grew Up:
Burn Out Bright - Switchfoot (Um...No. I did not want to be a burn out...but I LOVE this song! And it has nothing to do with being a burn out...)

Life:
Free Fallin' - John Mayer (I love this version! The song was originally done by Tom Petty, and his version always makes me think of Jerry Maguire.)

All I Ever Wanted - Train (That's right. I'm all I ever wanted.)

How You Feel Today - Your Birthday!:
Spinning The Wheel - George Michael (The birthday wheel of joy!)
