Not quite funk, but if he’s a funk fan he’d probably appreciate “I’ll Be Around” by The Spinners. ---

> [@woodstockbirdybird](#): > > Personally, for The Beatles, I’d go with “In My Life”. “Oh! Darling” has the lyrics “When you told me you didn’t need me anymore…” - not exactly anniversary material. :smack: Um, …scratch that and add [As, by Stevie Wonder](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWhMyOs0pCQ). Not funk, but a perfect anniversary song. ---

Why not choose songs SHE likes? Or that have meaning to her, or to the two of you? But don’t get your hopes up. I slaved over an anniversary CD… ripped some songs, bought others, included things like “song that was playing the first time we kissed” and “live song from the first concert we went to together”. She never listened to it. ---

> [@digs](#): > > Why not choose songs SHE likes? Or that have meaning to her, or to the two of you? Is this directed at me? Because if it is, I’m slightly confused. As I said in the OP, it’s me and my husband’s anniversary. And _he_ likes old funk and classic rock. So I am looking for stuff he may like. If it wasn’t directed at me-- never mind. ---

Sorry–got my genders wrong. Wasn’t directing my post at you, just anyone making a “mix tape”… ---

Anyway, I think **Biggirl** ’s idea for her fella is very cool and very romantic. I hope he appreciates it, and her.
