Okay dear readers, near and far, help me out! What is your power song? AKA: The song that you just can’t help shaking your booty to and dancing to and puts you in a great mood and you can just listen to over and over again…
That’s the song I want from you. Or songs. Post your answer in the comments so I can add them to my dance party mix — a little midday rejuvenation technique I’m trying.
Also, for local peeps, I’m looking for food prep volunteers on Monday, April 18 (as in, next Monday) to help me get food ready for ROUND FIVE! I’ll start around 11am and go into the afternoon, so the more the merrier. (And heck, maybe there will be a dance party.) You can also reply in the comments if you’re able to cruise over.
Happy Hump Day!
All I can Do is Smile 
Dance shout shake your booty on to the ground ! MJ

Well, let me see now. I’ve seen several I’d pick so I won’t bother to do a repeat but add to the list. And not in any particular order:
It’s Not Unusual-Tom Jones
T-Shirt-Thomas Rhett (I’ve been on a county thing….no judgement)
I Gotta a Feeling-B.E.P.
Your Love-The Outfield
Mexico-James Taylor (He’s great in concert)
That’s about as much time as I have right now. The food prep is so up in my alley but I can’t do 4/18. I’ll have to check back in on that gig!

this song, Amazing, begins slowly and gradually grows into a song that totally gets me moving. The group, One Eskimo, is one of my faves. If you don’t know them already, look up some others. They may be mello, but they are toe tappers.
This one, Kandi, is the song that drew me to them.
I hope you enjoy!!
