Okay, Kittens! Here's our soundtrack for the day! And I confess it skews a little 80's, because that was just plain hard for me to resist, but we do have a variety of stuff in there, all designed to get your moneymaker shaking. Or at least to get your head sort of bobbing along. (Please don't sprain anything.)
So, we're hearing these songs courtesy of Napster, and I think they'll let you listen to at least one song without registering—when you click on a song, you'll be taken to the Napster site, where you should hover for a moment, and a second later a smaller window will pop up and play your song. But registering is easy, quick, and free. Here are some quickie guidelines:
1) First, enable Pop-up windows for Napster.com, if you have your pop-ups turned off.
2) If you're registered, go to Napster and sign in. Or if you haven't yet registered, go here and choose a user name and password.
3) Once you're signed in, come back and start dancing!! Whee!
And because I'm just so thoughtful, I thought it might be helpful to provide a little glossary of 80's Dance Moves to refresh your memory.
Here are the tunes, ladies.

Cool list. I'm glad The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" is on it. I can't believe I forgot about it. It's one of my favorite songs. Continue dancing, everyone! :)

Thank you, Julie! I love that song so much.
I STILL miss the 80's. *g*
