Do the shuffle! deet do deet do deet de de deet doo...

Working on my laptop from home today, I am stuck between business and boredom as the head cold I'm currently battling has my head spinning when I concentrate on one thing for more than 10-15 minutes. So, I started fooling around with things that take no concentration. Namely, I'm borrowing experiements from my friend Lula Mae. Lula Mae is fabulous, and always has great ideas, so I thought her IPod shuffle experiment would be fun to do for myself.

BACKGROUND: Lula Mae couldn't figure out why anyone would spend the dough on an iPod shuffle when a Mini costs a comparable amount, and you don't always have to be in shuffle mode. SO, like Lula Mae, I decided to set my iPod to shuffle mode and see what comes of it.

Here we go. First 20 songs to play on shuffle mode.

1. Cherish/Madonna

2. Heart of Glass/ Blondie

3. It's Not Right But it's Okay (Club Remix)/Whitney Houston

4. Elegantly Wasted (Radio Edit) / INXS

5. Tap The Bottle/ Young Black Teenagers

6. To Be Real/ Patti LaBelle

7. No Sleep Till Brooklyn/ The Beastie Boys

8. Ice Ice Baby/ Vanilla Ice (you KNOW you know the words to this!)

9. Fire/ Ohio Players

10. Serious/ Gwen Stefani

11. Summer Wind/ Michael Buble

12. Travelling Without Moving/Jamiroquai

13. Dream Lover (Def Club Mix) /Mariah Carey

14. What You Waiting For?/Gwen Stefani

15. Pump It/ Black Eyed Peas

16. You Can Do It/Ice Cube

17. La Cerveza/ Elvis Crespo

18. Beautiful/ Christina Aguilera

19. Flashlight/ Parliament

20. Word Up!/Cameo

Great experiment. While I hand picked the songs that are in my iPod, the order in which they were played made absolutely no sense.

SCORE:

JGo= 1

iPod shuffle= 0

Lula Mae= 3,786,232,415.5

DISCLAIMER: My iPod exists for the sole purpose of accompanying me at the gym so I don't have to (a) listen to the minimum of three conflicting music/sound choices in the gym which include but are not limited to blasting televisions, radio loudspeaker system and conflicting aerobics class music simultaneously playing (b) acknowledge anyone who speaks to me (c) seem remotely friendly or interested in anything other than what I'm there for. That said, there are a few non-"workout" songs in my iTunes, but why the heck am I explaining this to you? Like I need to justify it or something.... er, um
