I'm afraid your list is much like mine. I'd take out Don't Worry Be Happy, What's Up, The Final Countdown, Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm, We Didn't Start the Fire, and the Meatloaf, and add in Wang Chung, R.E.M., and the Rednex song. I'm actually not overly fond of that last one, but it brings up memories of clubbing and a certain blonde. Ahem.
