Friday Night Soundtrack

Can’t say I did a whole heck of a lot this weekend, but sometimes you don’t need much for a fun musical fix.
On Friday night, I had a good friend over and we started talking about some of our favorite tunes from back in the day. I put the Spurs vs. Nuggets game on “mute,” and played DJ for an hour.
With a bump of the stereo’s volume knob, and an extra twist on the “bass” settings, we had a blast listening to these old songs. Let folks spill drinks on each other at the club – we did just fine kicking back on the couch with the stereo cranked.
And the mix went a little something like this - hit it!:
"I Wonder If I take You Home," Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam with Full Force
"Lookout Weekend," Debbie Deb
"When I Hear Music," Debbie Deb
"Two of Hearts," Stacey Q
"I Feel For You," Chaka Khan
"U Got the Look," Prince
"Atomic Dog," George Clinton
"More Bounce to the Ounce," Zapp
"Genius of Love," Tom Tom Club
"Don't Stop ('Till You Get Enough)," Michael Jackson
"Give It All You Got," Afro-Rican
"Shake It," MC Shy-D
"Cars With the Boom," L'Trimm
"Sally (That Girl)," Gucci Crew
"Throw the D," 2 Live Crew
