You are completely musically illiterate in my eyes if you don't know the brilliance of these three:

1. Feels Like I'm In Love - Kelly Marie
2. The Key, The Secret - Urban Cookie Collective
3. Anticipating - Britney Spears

Listening now to Faure Pavane op. 50 to become literate.

Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
Mississippi Squirrel Revival
One Night in Bangkok

And of course the Meow Mix song is just a given so I didn't include it.

Oh man, Mississippi Squirrel Revival is truly a great song.

I would choose:
I Will -- The Beatles
Poisoning Pigeons in the Park -- Tom Lehrer
Poeme Roumain -- George Enescu

Everyone should listen to more Enescu. He is really quite lovely. I have been cursed (by a pigeon lover) for sending him the second song. The first song just makes me smile.
