Yeah, so, like Amanda, some of these songs require certain context for me to listen to them in the manner of the theme. Also, some of these songs I don't really listen to in said context much anymore -- but included them because they have been songs I've used in the past.

I also confess that sometimes it's not the lyrics of the song that I need to hear, it's usually the music style... Anyways, enjoy!

A couple notes about the grooveshark playlist: #'s 15 and 16 above are different from what's in the playlist, but close enough to give you an idea (I like MY version of the Frank Sinatra song a lot better... The Sammy Davis, Jr. one is comparable but still not quite as good, either). "9 Years" is a track from some old roommates' ska band and hopefully Jared will have that e-mailed out to the group soon.

Here's the link to "9 Years".

(Hyperlinks don't show up well in these comments. Just click on the title of the song.)

There's some nostalgic tracks in there, and I'd love to see you when you are in the mood for #7 or #14.
