My wife wants something to listen to during the impending…“ordeal.” I came up with: 1. Baby - Justin Beiber 2. Push It - Salt n Pepa 3. Drop It Like it’s Hot - Snoop Dogg 4. Dare You to Move - Switchfoot 5. The Boy Is Mine - Brandy & Monica 6. Get Low - DJ Snake 7. I’m Coming Out – Diana Ross 8. Hurt So Good – John Mellencamp No Googling. That’s cheating. Bonus points for newer songs. Whatchu got? ---
