I've been using a Grooveshark playlist I put together for my art classes this year, and one song I notice the kids react positively to is Todd Terje's "Inspector Norse." I always spot four or five of them just kind of spontaneously bouncing in their seats. Are fairly conservative, east coast financial people at all similar to 11-year-old kids? (I'm even setting you up for a joke there.)

Maura beat me to the WWE entrances.
joke suggestion: 30 minutes of Idina Menzel 'Let It Go'
Or "Let It Go" in 42 languages! You'd only need to play it twice.

this is what i sent to my co-worker for a screening/second set of ears. ultimately i just didn't want to do anything that scanned only as middle-aged white guy music, so it's a combination of recent pop and 70s soul/r&b.
"champion" by kanye was the hardest thing to cut because i think it's perfect in a lot of ways, but he says shit twice and i didn't want to risk someone failing to get the clean version.

haha i love how "happy" is first on the list, i remember someone here (lex) aptly describing it as a song for corporate meetings/conferences/team-building exercises

haha yeah it's a safe open because it's totally unfuckwithable for the situation

we had a party at work here on saturday --- party went for 5 hours or more, I swear they had maybe a 30 minute playlist on repeat the whole night
even the barstaff were commenting about how many times they'd heard certain songs
